Talk:Sakamoto family murder

message: I suggest adding more on Sakamoto... Done.
I will also change the following introductory passage:
This article is on the murder of a lawyer, Tsutsumi Sakamoto, and his family. A jury of the trial of Shoko Asahara found that the Aum Shinrikyo organization was responsible for their deaths.
:Technical inaccuracy. The jury did not find Aum Shinrikyo as organization responsible, though it did find responsible some of its members. The jury simply can't rule anything like that. I believe individual trials of those listed perpetrators ruled them guilty and then Shoko Asahara's trial ruled him guilty of issuing orders (the latter I will check and remove the reference if untrue). I will rephrase. - ExitControl

Removed the following:
:Realizing it was a holiday, Asahara instructed the men to kill Sakamoto, along with his family, at his apartment. 
This is mentioned below ("ruled him guilty"). There are different accounts, though. Some testified that they decided to execute the murder themselves (thouse got death penalties), without telling Asahara and some said Asahara instructed (lawyers argued that since they were simply following orders, they deserve milder sentence, namely life imprisonment). But all got death sentences anyway. So despite the decision of the jury on Asahara's trial, whether he indeed instructed remains debatable. That's why I think it would be best to just state below that he was "ruled guilty".

message: This statement is missing it's reference and seems to have possibly been edited or stuck in by another source (like the oddly worded phrase "sex with the girls").
"In their view, Sakamoto was never concerned to become a hero and was more interested in regular wordly affairs, such as sex with the girls or money." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.168.38.78 (talk) 12:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing reference 

message: This article and the one on Sakamoto are vitually identical.  I suggest the few differences be resolved and that Tsutsumi Sakamoto become a redirect to here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravenhull (talk • contribs) 14:45, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I am afraid there is some confusion on the last para. According to Aleph (it is the same group btw) they renamed in the early 2000 . So if Aleph condemned, it would not have been in 1999 but later. If in 1999, it would have been by Aum Shinrikyo. --Aphaia (talk) 07:00, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aleph condemned ... in 1999? 

message: The section about TBS involvement is very vague, and I wonder what the references for it are since they don't seem to appear in the citations or references section. Specifically:
 However, the network secretly showed a video of the interview to Aum members without Sakamoto's knowledge, intentionally breaking its protection of sources.
How was it known to be intentional? What's the source on that? Why was this done and by whom, at the station, specifically? Was there a connection between TBS staff and Aum?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.54.83.138 (talk) 17:02, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
