Research Abstract

The feature of Japanense criminal trials is "simplificatoin of fact-finding process and enlargement of sentencing hearing" and "formality, routinization of trial proceedings". The prosecutor presents a lot of investigatory documents to the trial courts, the counsel gives consent to them, and trial judges receive them, afterward inspect them in their offices.
In most cases the defendant already confesses to their crimes. So the fact-finding process is simplificated. But the sentencing hearing is the most important process in the trial courts. The examination of witnesses and defendant hearing costs most time of the trials.
