If convicted, Asahara could be hanged. But lawyer Osamu Watanabe says he would appeal if a death sentence is handed down, and that could add additional years before the case is concluded

This makes me so mad. I really hate this freak. Everyone knows for sure he's guilty. Why the Hell is the system so slow? Let's hang the son-of-bitch already.

I assume you're talking about the famous "Shoko, Shoko, Asahara Shoko..." song. I heard a jebillion times while he addressed the adoring masses at Eibsu Station in the early 90s. Damn I should have bought one. Obviously the orginal single was made of low quality packaging so making fakes would be easy. Hmmmmm.

Doomsday cult doctor to hang
CNN Asia, Wednesday, October 29, 2000: 0634 GMT
-- A medical doctor who acted as a senior leader in the doomsday cult that carried out the deadly 1995 nerve gas attack on Tokyo's subway will be hanged for his role in that crime and several other murders.
Tomomasa Nakagawa, 41, was sentenced to die Wednesday by the Tokyo District Court for helping to make the sarin nerve gas used in the subway attack, which killed 12 people, and another earlier attack that killed seven people. He was also found guilty of taking part in earlier cult murders.

Nakagawa is the 10th member of the Aum Shinri Kyo cult to be given the death sentence.

Closing arguments were to be made Thursday in the trial of the cult's guru Shoko Asahara, who is also facing a possible death sentence for allegedly masterminding te subway gassing.
