TASK DEFINITION: Given a document, an entity and its sentiment towards the entity, verify if it is the correct sentiment towards the entity. Answer should be yes or no. Note that URLs in the text have been replaced with [Link].
PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jamie Weis is Negative . The original lawyers were replaced with salaried public defenders  who do not usually work on capital cases. Those lawyers asked to withdraw  saying they did not have the time  financing or qualifications to properly pursue a death penalty case. Weis argued that he should have had the first legal team  and refused to work with the second.
 The fight continued for the next two years; in that time  Weis' mother  who was expected to testify on his behalf  died.
 Justice Harold D. Melton  writing for a four-justice majority  found that the trial delay was "brought about by Weis and his attorneys  and not the funding issues." Countering arguments that there had been a "systemic breakdown in the public defender system " he said  "There are still attorneys within that system who are available to represent the criminal defendant."
 In dissent  Justice Hugh P. Thompson wrote that the Constitution requires that Weis receive a "vigorous defense " and that Georgia "cannot shirk this responsibility because it is experiencing budgetary constraints."

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Makoto Ishikawa is Positive . Makoto Ishikawa believes his life was saved by a nozomi loan.
 The 47-year-old has an office job and also runs a family rice farm. Last year  he began drowning in debt to pay his two children's college fees and buy new farm equipment.
 "So many bills began piling up " he said. "I realized I needed help."
 His plight sounds much like that of millions worldwide in these tough times  but Japan is different. Here banks set stringent conditions for loans  forcing borrowers to rope relatives and friends into guaranteeing repayment.
 Ishikawa  partly self-employed  was typical of the hard-luck cases in this city of rice farms  cattle ranches and hot springs. But rather than abandon hope  he went to the local bank  which referred him to city hall.
 The city assigned him a case worker  who got him legal advice and eventually a 10-year personal loan of 8.2 million yen ($93 000)  at 7.9 percent interest  which he used to consolidate his debt.
 Ishikawa's debt payments are about $1 000 a month -- half of what he had struggled to pay before.
 "The loan gave me breathing room  and now I actually have some money left over every month " he said. "The nozomi loan saved me before my troubles drove me toward suicide."

SOLUTION:
yes
