Japan has a very harsh system, this serves as both a deterrent and also incentivizes people to make their equivalent of plea deals.
There's nothing magical about a criminal trial, especially in Japan, since there's not even a jury. And in general there's no magical threshold for proving guilt.
Nobody should be treated like this. We agree.
I'm trying to point out that unfortunately is a trade off, it works, and unfortunately a lot of people are getting treated like this all over the world for things that are administratively easy to prove and are illegal by the letter of the law, so technically easy to "prove guilt".
