You know, I probably shouldn't be giddy at this thought, but one does sneak in:
Here's what I've heard actually happens when someone gets the death penalty in Japan: they don't tell anyone when the execution date actually is. It could be (hypothetically speaking) as early as the first or second day he goes to death row, or it could be years from now. In other words, he's going to be living each day on death row not knowing if it's going to be the day they take him from his cell and execute him. I'm going to assume this might eventually cause a mental breakdown... not something I should ever be happy about, but this guy is the only exception to "wish no cruelty upon a person".
