"I f i rml y believed t.ha t the Lccused will be found ~OT guilty but now that he haa been toum guilty I would like to put up my l ast ettort for his defonce.
"Oonoern1ng the deo.th of Ma.kund1 I believe that the oauae waa not only the beating but it waa due also to Malaria a a w1tneaa Iah1kawa haa 1tated. There are many oases 1n which a peraon autfering :from Ma.ln.ria la liable to die by the 1lighteat. blow. I am aure th~t the members ot this Court e.re quite avare ot t;hla tact. Therefore the oauae of Hakund1 1 a death oannot be 1a1d to be due to the beat1ns he received from K~aa1 but th11 cau•• la a ver1 811&11 oauae. The fact that Makundl 41ed atter be1no beaten ia a very extraordinary th1ng but 1t would app•IP" it was extremely unexpeote4 to the person vbo a4111nlatered the beating. This 11 known by the taot that Kav&ka•l tried h11 beat to recover Makund1 bJ a4m1niater1ng art.1t1o1al reap1rat1onal treat ment .
"It is also very clear that it. wna ~awakam1 who beat Makun41 • . 'l'heretore I think ye ahould look at thia oaae that 1t Kaneko wa• oonaerned 1n th11 1no1dent h11 part in 1t va• a ver1 1mall part. 1'h11 la 1ub1tantiated b7 t he tact that Iay&kaal w•• pun1ahe4 lfhile Kaneko lf&I not pun1abe4. l{hat I 1a14 do•• not mean that I aoknowledge that Kaneko beat the man. Wha\ I aa14 n0y ia a h7potheai1 if Kaneko had beaten Makun41. 'l'heretore I aonaider that Kaneko ahould be given a ver1 llgl\\ pun1ahllent.
''I think 1t moat inappropria te to award t.he moat heav7 puniah~•ent i.e. punilbment of death to Kaneko 1n thia caae.
"I Kaneko should be aentenced to death what aort ot pun1ahment muat be a.,,arded to tboa• who have collllJlit.ted tar more cruel and atrocious deed1. It is neadleae to mention that when paa11ng ••ntenoe it muat be Judged on the nature of th• orim• J.e. 1t it i• a light or heavy crime. I believe a aentenoe muat be paaaed which 1• in appropriation w1th other aentenoe1 paa1e4 on thoae who oomm1t aim1lar orimea. I believe i ~ 11 not proper to paas a heavy 1entence Juat by t.h.e reaaon that he oommltted a war crlme. I believe the nature ot thil oaae 1a not auoh that 1t should be t~kon up 1n a big way aa a var or1mee case. And •ven 1f ther e wa s no war it 1s a oomton oocurrenoe tor a man to boat a person out or anger. '!'he nature of this ca se 1s very e1mila.r to an ordinary oaae 1.e. a oa ae that ie not a war crime• oaae.
''I would like t o hnve tho Court consider the reaaona I have given tor bel1ev1ng his 1nnooenoe. I believe theae reaaona will be of more reterenoe i n determini ng whether the aentenoe will be light or heavy.
'' \·;h a t I um worrying about now 1s t hat by such a small war or1me , aa th1a if there will be m&rl3 death 1entenoe1 paaaed it might hinder the obJeot1ve which the ~lied Powers are tr1in& to aohieve. Just by pa sa1ng heavy aentenc•• will not oontrib\lte muoh to the tutJure peaoe or the world. f,a I have 110 t1rml7 believed 1n the innooenoe of the aoouaec1 I did not prepare any apeoch on the m1t15ation of aentence. As I waa not ru111 prepared my oonao1enoe tells me th~t I waa not able to give a 5ood aooount but nevertholeas I woul d l ike t o ask the Court to paaa a lenient aontenoe on tho a.oouae4."
