Toma Ikuta stars in jury drama series
Popular young actor Toma Ikuta has a solo starring role in a drama series for the first time. The show, titled "Majo Saiban," will be the first drama to tackle the issue of Japan's new "saiban-in" (lay judge) system.
This May, Japan is reintroducing the jury system, which was previously abolished in 1943. Since then, only judges have decide the outcome of criminal cases, but under the new system, cases will be decided by a combination of judges and lottery-selected citizens.
In "Majo Saiban," Ikuta plays a typical part-timer with little interest in social issues. However, he is unexpectedly chosen as a juror in the trial of a suspected female murderer. While the mystery surrounding the case unfolds, an unknown group is secretly attempting to bribe the jury.
Actress Ai Kato plays a housewife who is also selected as a juror, while Manami Higa plays Ikuta's girlfriend, a newspaper reporter. Yuriko Ishida takes on the role of the accused.
Fuji TV will air "Majo Saiban" on Saturday nights at 11:10pm. The series starts on April 25, about a month before the actual jury system goes into effect.

Ikuta Toma
~Starring in Japan's first Lay Judge System Drama~
It was revealed on the 10th that Ikuta Toma (24) will play the lead role in Fuji TV's Majo Saiban (Witch Trial) which starts on 25th April (Saturdays at 11:10). This is his first lead role in a drama. The drama's theme centers around the lay judge system which will take effect in May. Ikuta said enthusiastically,"This production will get people interested in the system."
With the introduction of a new justice system where ordinary citizens participate in trials as lay judges in May, ikemen actor Ikuta Toma who has been showing remarkable progress, is playing the role of a lay judge.
Ikuta has been a part of the Johnny's agency for more than 10 years. In 2007, he had his break in Fuji TV's Hanazakari no Kimitachi e Ikemen Paradise. Last summer, he played one of the two lead roles in TBS's Maou with Arashi's Ohno Satoshi.
Currently, he is a regular in Fuji TV's Voice. Commenting on his first lead role in a drama, he said,"Honestly I'm surprised, while at the same time I feel a sense of responsibility. I feel many emotions jumbled together."
He plays the role of a job-hopping part-timer who has little interest in social matters, just an ordinary young man. The setting of the drama revolves around him being chosen by chance to be a lay judge.
For his role, he attended trials. "I felt, time and again, the austerity of the place. From May onwards, this isn't just going to be somebody else's problem, you feel its complexity. There is going to be a big social response to the drama and I feel the pressure," he said, looking to filming, shouldering the responsibility.
The trial involves a murder and inheritance of a large sum of money in the prosecution of a woman referred to as a 'witch'. But the lay judges who are going to judge her innocent or guilty are being secretly bribed and maneuvered by a mysterious group. Baffling incidents starts to surround the young man in this suspense drama. This drama anticipates of the problems that might arise once the new legal system is enforced.
Producer Seki Takuya said,"When the lay judge system becomes a part of life, how would our lives and our way of thinking change? Look forward to the drama, and I hope it makes people think." The new system will be enforced from 21st May and in the summer, lay judges will start participating in courts. Naturally then, this is the drama that cannot be said to be of other people's problems!
Similarly chosen, Kato Ai (26) plays a housewife who has her happy family life threatened by the mysterious group. This is her first time playing a housewife role. Higa Manami (22), who is currently in NHK's Tenchijin, plays the role of Ikuta's newspaper reporter girlfriend. The defendant, who is being called the 'witch' is played by Ishida Yuriko (39). It will be noted how Ishida, who leaves a strong impression of being neat tackles the role of the 'witch'.

Preparing for lay judge system
The government has announced that the lay judge system will take effect on May 21, 2009. The new system will be used in criminal cases in which suspects are indicted on and after that day. Trials using lay judges are expected to begin in late July or early August 2009.
Marking a drastic change to the nation's criminal trial system, ordinary citizens' views will be reflected in judgments and sentencing. It is hoped that the Supreme Court, the Japan Federation of Bar Associations and the Justice Ministry will fully cooperate and make preparations to ensure the new system will start without a hitch.
The introduction of the lay judge system was proposed by a government panel for reform of the judiciary on June 12, 2001. The Diet enacted the Lay Judges Law on May 21, 2004. In the new system, six citizens chosen at random will, together with three professional judges, hear initial trials dealing with such serious crimes as murder, burglary leading to injuries, arson and dangerous driving causing death.
It is expected that one out of every 4,000 citizens will serve as a lay judge every year. Before the start of a trial, each district court will narrow down issues to be dealt with in the trial in order to streamline proceedings. Public prosecutors will partially videotape interrogations to bolster the credibility of confessions.
Despite these efforts, it is said that some people are not enthusiastic about the introduction of the lay judge system. A Supreme Court poll whose results were announced on April 1 shows that while 60 percent of respondents accepted the new system, these include those who do not want to serve as lay judges, although they said they would do so as their duty.
To ease people's apprehensions, the Supreme Court and other parties should strive to develop a system to ensure lay judges can easily grasp trial issues and freely express their opinion. Lay judges should also be permitted to express their opinions on the operation of the system itself to facilitate its improvement.

Lay judges and media freedom
By May 2009, Japan will introduce a lay judge system in which six ordinary citizens will sit with three professional judges to take part in trials of suspects charged with serious crimes such as murder, arson and rape. As preparations for the new system advance, the Supreme Court and the Japan Federation of Bar Associations have expressed apprehension that media reports on crimes may cause lay judges to form the opinion that a defendant is guilty even before a trial starts.
In a meeting with the Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association in May, the Supreme Court listed six types of information in news reports that it fears could lead to a presumption of the defendant's guilt: (1) confessions by a suspect, (2) mention of the irrationality of a suspect's explanations, (3) circumstantial evidence suggesting that a defendant is guilty, (4) disclosures of the suspect's criminal record and past life, (5) information on a suspect's past life and human relations as background to the crime and (6) comments on the crime by so-called experts and knowledgeable people.
It must be remembered that the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, press and all other forms of expression and that freedom of expression is the foundation of democracy. As the newspaper association said in its May 2003 statement on the introduction of the lay judge system, the media have the duty to serve the people in their exercise of the right to know. Since people are interested in details concerning serious crimes, to supply necessary information about them is an important media duty.
The association must devise a guiding principle for newspapers that will address how to protect the rights of suspects and defendants while maintaining freedom of the press. Such a principle should help newspapers write their own guidelines. The courts, on their part, must enlighten lay judges about a key principle of criminal proceedings: that they must base their judgments solely on relevant laws and the evidence submitted to the court.
