After outlining the outline of the verdict once again, the presiding judge said, 'At the first hearing of the retrial, Hideko asked Iwao to 'give her true freedom.' The verdict was acquitted, but the prosecution has room to appeal, so the trial may continue. There is no point unless acquittal is confirmed. The door to freedom has been opened for Iwao, but it may still close.'

Presiding Judge Kunii also choked up as he said, 'This has taken such a long time, and as a court, we are truly sorry.'

He added, 'It is the court, not the prosecutor, that decides whether or not someone is guilty. Please wait a little longer until a decision is made. It will take a little more time before she is truly free, but I hope that Hideko will remain healthy in both body and mind for a long time to come.'
