TOKYO —
The Supreme Court on Monday upheld the death sentence for a man who killed a young mother and her baby daughter when he was a minor, ending years of campaigning by the victim’s husband.
The decision closes a case that captured the public’s imagination as the distraught father and husband Hiroshi Motomura fought for years to bring the killer to justice.
(...)
Presiding Justice Seishi Kanetsuki said the death penalty was inevitable for Takayuki Otsuki, who was 18 when he raped and killed 23-year-old Yayoi Motomura before strangling to death her 11-month-old daughter Yuka on April 14, 1999, in Hikari City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
