TOKYO –– A Japanese faith healer was sentenced to death for beating six people to death with a drumstick during a 1995 exorcism ritual.

Fukushima District Court in Northern Japan also sentenced three followers of 54-year-old Sachiko Eto to prison terms for their roles in the killings, court official Naoki Doi said Friday.



Authority has every reason to fear the skeptic, for authority can rarely survive in the face of doubt.

I am not abig fan of the death penalty and especially not of the way the japanese pratcice it, but in this case I think I will minimalize my protest and look the other way.

I won't say that this woman deserves to hang, but she comes closer than most.
