Some people are speculating in a (English, not Japanese at all) discord I'm in that it technically didn't meet the definition of "Aggrevated murder" needed. See here for a list according to wiki. Closest on that would probably be treason, but thats a big stretch for a former PM.
Wild to me because the Japanese legal system always seemed modeled after/as barbaric as our American system. (With a few big differences of course.)
