Bereaved families of victims and survivors of the subway gassing blasted the Tokyo District Court for not Inoue Yoshihiro the death penalty. "I'm dissatisfied with the ruling because I was sure he would be sentenced to death. Japan's Penal Code is too lenient to criminals and cruel to crime victims. Unless the legal system is fundamentally reformed, Japanese society will be jeopardized,".said Shumpei Takano, 69, who lost his son-in law, 29-year-old Eiji Wada, in the attack.
