Get rid of the extra legal costs. In today's day you can't just have it done on testimonials alone; you actually have to have shit like DNA evidence there, hopefully lots of it.

Still fallible.  What if 30 years from now it comes out that a powerful yakuza boss bribed half the police department to frame somebody, DNA evidence and all?  Even if the guy confesses, he could be sacrificing himself because he believes that's the only way his family would be taken care of and not killed by the yakuza, in that culture especially.  Improbable, but shit like that does happen, so a free and rational society shouldn't leave anything to chance.

But this is Japan we're talking about, a country where a guy who tortured, killed, and ate a foreign woman only served something like 7-10 years in prison. And now goes on the celeb reality shows in Japan.

Maybe 7-10 years in prison for murder is enough for some people.  Justice is about restitution, rehabilitation, and earning back your reputation, not pointless punishment.  It's certainly easier to earn more money, and that pay a higher "restitution tax", if you're not locked away in a small room for the rest of your life!  And modern technology with video cameras and GPS can make it a lot easier to track people out on parole.

maybe its all the whale meat, or dolphin meat sold as whale

One of the few things about Japan I'm not going to criticize is the whale / dolphin meat.  Or vending machines.  Or lolicon.  All those cultural traits are subjective.

A whale farm would make sense.

Instead, they slaughter too many whales to be sustainable and violate the international treaties the government has signed.

yes it would make sense, and you might think that since people demand it, the market would provide...

It would work if governments would stop getting in the way and keeping a rational justice system from emerging, one that would allow sea territory homesteading / ownership and being able to shoot the eco-nazis for attacking you.

Don't Japanese people hate whale meat, and it's just caught because of government subsidies?

Huh?  Japs hate whale meat?!  What have you been smoking?

If they do, that would certainly make them unique.  Most people who try whale meat love it!

Pretty much this, Japan and Norway are the top two consumers of whale meat in the world.

Greenpeace said it was "preposterous." It doesnt look like anyone else weighed in.
