          TOKYO, Japan - Norimichi Kumamoto, a former judge at the Shizuoka District Court, looks dejected outside the Tokyo Detention House on July 2 after he was denied permission to visit a man he had sentenced to death for the 1966 murder of a family of four even though he believes the man was innocent. Kumamoto, 69, who presided over the trial of Iwao Hakamada, 71, went public in March and said he convicted the man as he was unable to persuade the two other judges in the trial of the defendant's innocence.
