However, nobody gets to say "well...she's lost her job so she's had enough so we gonna let her Slide."

No formal charges are being filed, though (a decision I personally happen to agree with)...so, apparently, the authorities in Japan also feel that loss of her job was enough.

The da (district attorney) gets to decide whether to file charges or not based on evidence, the judge then gets to decide if there should be a trial based on evidence and the jury gets to decide if someone is guilty or not based on evidence.
However, nobody gets to say "well...she's lost her job so she's had enough so we gonna let her Slide."

I am suprised you agree with this, would you still feel the same if this happened in the states? Just replace the drugs with something very frowned apon here but perfectly legal somewhere else.

The Japanese prosecutor apparently agreed.....and it's his job to charge people and get them sent to prison if the evidence merits.

Below is a case of an American guy 34 years old who illegally imported 21 Oxycontin pills(that's right only 21 pills) and he got 18 months jail with 3 years probation. And this was the exact same method that Hamp used.
Sorry it is in Japanese, but here is article.

Oxycontin IS a very bill deal here and nobody gets off without some sort Jail term. You say that the police would not go to all this trouble and then drop the case, but if you have any idea how Japan legal system works I think you will find that the police and detectives are fuming in their boots right now as they fully intended to go ahead with prosecution. Like I said, someone high up pulled a few strings and down the line it went and who is going to argue with their superior here in Japan.
But, you go ahead and believe what you want.
