The scumbag lawyer. Actually, he was involved in the original trial too.

I guess the prisons in Japan don't provide gyms, law libraries, and entertainment the way ours do in the U.S. Maybe we should adopt their way of handling criminals.
These guys are part of why the Marines had such a terrible rep in Okinawa.
When I was in Okinawa the Japanese Police always started a conversation with "You Marine?" Thank God I was Army -
Marines got no slack in Okinawa because of some of them that were all caught up with gung ho fever and showed zero respect for the culture..
There were actually beaches that only Marines were banned from by the okinawans - very bad reputation.
Michael Griffith, Esq. be happy that I'm not in charge. Mr. Harp would be dropped naked in the tundra during mosquito season somewhere in the vicinity of migrating polar bears after a long winter. Live like a barbarian...die like a barbarian.

Perhaps this guy would like to compare his treatment to that received by our WWII POWs, who suffered horribly at the hands of the Japanese. Let's see--he raped a 12 year odl girl and only received a 7-year sentence, then complains because he had to work? Give me a break. You'll note that the story makes no mention as to what Mr. Harp is doing now. Very little, I'd say, and I'll bet he's still on the government's dime, as a welfare recipient. BTW, I wonder if he had to register as a sex offender after returning to the states. There ought to be a sign in his front yard, reminding everyone what he did to that little girl....
He looks like a very aged and dissipated version oif that pretty boy who defended Kervokian. The one all of the cable news shows had on a few years ago, jeffrey something.
I hope this creep has a long pre-trial settlement conference with his creator.
"forced you to sit rigidly all day at a desk until it was time to eat and sleep"
Here we call them cubicles.
(And that was directed toward the rare individual I would refer to as an "ex-Marine", not you).
Yo homes, ain't it a b** tch when you have to work. Jeez with a Queens judge you'd be chillin' with some fine b**ty and an apology for being hassled by the man.
He was the lawyer for Ted Maher in the Edmond Safra murder.
Oh boohoo....Hard labor should mean breaking rocks 10 hours a day, not sitting on your behind putting phones together!!!
Why is this scumbag still allowed to breathe?
A follow up... I know the Marines are embarrased that this bottom feeder slipped throught the crack (hmmm pun intended)Much respect for the dignity, courage and pride of the Marines from just a country boy but a proud American. Thanks for your service...
He should have been turned over to the vicitms family...and let them take care of him anyway they saw fit...
Why bring him back to the USA....like we need the likes of him here...
Wouldn't the felony conviction cause this guy to lose his right to vote? I realize that it was in a Japanese court, so I'm curious as to what the law is.
Well, for seven years at least, these scum were not here in the US commiting crimes.
Awww . . . I'd like to buy some of those products. The reason crime is so high in this country is because 'rats like to mollycoddle criminals.
I don't know what the consequences of a foreign felony conviction are. All they received from the U.S. were dishonorable discharges, which is not a conviction.
Okay, so we have a voting rights concern about this quality American citizen. He's violent, rapist, trash, sounds like a Democrat Convention Delegate
Actually a DD is a felony conviction = no vote.
