Lindsay Hawker's Parents to Attend Ichihashi Trial

Another quick post pointing to an article published in the Mainichi Shimbun today about Linday's parents attending the upcoming trial of her killer, Tatsuya Ichihashi.

According to the piece, the trial date is being adjusted to accommodate the Hawkers' visit to Japan. Ichihashi's defense team also made mention of transferring book royalties to the family, despite the fact that they've said they want nothing to do with it (see Jan. 27 Yomiuri Shimbun article).

The dynamic in the courtroom is sure to be very interesting.
