The 사카미치 마루 case is a murder trial that has been 10 years in the making. The suspect, K, is accused of murdering two people. The incident took place on October 10th, 2007, when K allegedly bludgeoned to death his boss and the boss's wife with a hammer at their home in Tokyo. What makes this trial interesting is that it is taking place in a city that typically does not see criminal trials as a prosecutor.
