Kōichi Kitamura (terrorist)
- ... that the defense counsel of convicted Japanese domestic terrorist Kōichi Kitamura considered his life sentence a "too severe" punishment for his role in the Tokyo subway sarin attack? Source: Kitamura’s counsel appealed the ruling, claiming that he did not know sarin was deadly and that a life sentence is too severe for his role in the attack.

Overall: 
I am not convinced that he is notable according to WP:BIO1E—his role was a minor one. (t · c) buidhe 02:00, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Buidhe, Hi, thank you for the review. I changed the phrasing in the parts where it was identical to the source except the quotation by the presiding judge who sentenced him given that I wanted (on purpose) to quote the judge exactly as he delivered the sentencing. As for the notability, I can't help. If he's not notable enough, then I accept it, I don't nominate for DYK often and I don't fully comprehend the rules. Thank you again.
