At the end of the Edo period, Yamauchi Toyoshige, the lord of the Tosa domain, wanted to execute Takechi Hanpeita. However, there was no evidence, and no matter how much they tortured him, he would not confess. Frustrated, Yodo finally ordered that Takechi Hanpeita be killed. He forced a minor charge that did not deserve the death penalty into a crime that did. After the Meiji Restoration, whenever Yodo got drunk, he would repeatedly cry out, "Forgive Hanpeita, forgive Hanpeita." To all of you who are trying to forcibly disband the World Peace Unification Family, I ask that you act according to your conscience so that you will not regret it later. I especially ask the judges to conduct a fair trial in accordance with the law. I am in no way threatening anyone. If the verdict is convincing to people overseas, I will accept it. I just hope that you will make the right decision. Thank you in advance.
