Four years ago in Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture, a former prefectural assembly member who was sentenced to 19 years in prison in the first trial for killing his wife has begun his second trial at the Tokyo High Court, where he again pleaded not guilty.
元長野県議会議員の丸山大輔 被告(50)は、現職だった2021年9月、塩尻市内にある自宅に併設された酒造会社の店舗で、当時47歳だった妻の首を圧迫して窒息させ殺害したとして、殺人の罪に問われています
Former Nagano Prefectural Assembly member Daisuke Maruyama 50 is accused of murder for allegedly strangling his then 47-year-old wife to death by compressing her neck at the store of the sake brewery attached to their home in Shiojiri City in September 2021, when he was still in office.
直接的な証拠がなく、元県議は一貫して無罪を主張していましたが、去年12月、1審の長野地方裁判所は、防犯カメラにうつった車の画像など複数の状況証拠を踏まえ「被告を犯人と認定することに合理的な疑いはない」として、懲役19年を言い渡しました
Although there was no direct evidence and the former prefectural assembly member consistently maintained his innocence, in December last year, the Nagano District Court in the first trial, based on multiple pieces of circumstantial evidence such as images of a car captured by security cameras, ruled that there is no reasonable doubt in identifying the defendant as the perpetrator, and sentenced him to 19 years in prison.
元県議は判決を不服として控訴し、2日、東京高等裁判所で2審が始まりました
The former prefectural assembly member appealed the verdict, and on the 2nd, the second trial began at the Tokyo High Court.
弁護側は「1審判決の事実関係の認定や評価には誤りがある
The defense argues that there are errors in the recognition and evaluation of the facts in the first trials verdict.

などと
述べ、
改めて無罪を
主張しました
Starting from the hypothesis that the defendant is the perpetrator, the judgment is unfair and based on preconceived notions, he said, once again asserting his innocence.
一方、検察は控訴を退けるよう主張しました
On the other hand, the prosecution argued that the appeal should be dismissed.
審理は7月2日で終わり、判決は10月1日に言い渡されます
The hearing will end on July 2, and the verdict will be delivered on October 1.
