I read the article - you spent all that time getting to the place where they're holding him and yet don't report on nor answer the very questions everyone's been asking? That is not good journalism!
I went there because I have received many emails and calls regarding Hide. I didn't go there to ask him questions about his case. Do I look like the court to you? Did you know they record the conversations sometimes regarding those phones? I went to see how he is, not to do a complete interview with him.
Ron, what if hes found guilty of whatever he's charged? Are you going to say sorry to the board ? Because if he's found not guilty, i'll be the first one to apologize for calling him a criminal. How about you? Will you respect law's decission?
Pay atttention. I didnt say if he was guilty or not. I said do not speculate until we know more about the case. Hidetada does not speak English very well, so I had to repeat some questions (he is Japanese) and as any lawyer will tell you, never talk about the case unless you have a lawyer present or in court.
And also, he is allowed only 4 visits a week, except on special Holidays like New Years. So please dont go and visit him. I went later, and made sure no one else was going to be there that day.
