Mitaman wroteking of the slums wroteAum Shinrikyo, 63, woken up this morning at 5 a.m. and executed by hanging at 5:15 a.m. along with 6 of his accomplices..
Surprised it took so long. Had they not got the sarin recipe wrong, it would have killed thousands.
One of the defendants had their appeal quashed in Jan, Japanese system says no executions until all the appeals have been put to bed. That being said, you get no notice, you could be on death row for a week, 7 or 20 years, they just knock you up one day. They all got moved to the same prison in June, so they wouldn't have had much sleep this past month. Skit!
They mixed and stored the sarin in What the Dickens pub, which was their store room prior to becoming the pub we know and love..
