Former staff member admits to charges in case of death of facility resident.

The first hearing of former staff member Imai Hiroyuki, 61, who is accused of causing death by injury for pushing resident Nakayama Naoki, 59, with both hands, causing him to fall and hit his head on the floor, resulting in his death, was held and he admitted to the charges.

In his opening statement, the prosecution argued, "When the victim was touching the intercom, I pushed him with both hands because I thought he was trying to break it. My actions were violent and dangerous, and the damage was serious."
On the other hand, the defense argued, "I was trying to pull him away from the intercom, and did not intend for him to fall."
The verdict is scheduled to be handed down on the 24th of this month.
