Mr. Hakamada, 89, spent 44 years on death row after being convicted of murder for the deaths of four people in 1966.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His defense lawyers argued that the police forced a confession and fabricated evidence, earning him a retrial last year that led to his <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/26\/world\/asia\/japan-death-row-exonerated.html\" title=\"\">acquittal<\/a>. He is believed to have been the world\u2019s longest-serving death row inmate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The payout, likely the largest in Japan\u2019s history for a criminal case, was compensation for the 47-plus years that Mr. Hakamada spent in detention, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/news\/html\/20250324\/k10014758981000.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">according to NHK<\/a>, Japan\u2019s national broadcaster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It represents roughly $83 for each day he was detained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Over the years, Mr. Hakamada, a former featherweight boxer, had consistently testified that he pleaded guilty only after the police interrogated him for 20 days, beating him with sticks and depriving him of sleep. He retracted his confession soon after making it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Japan\u2019s Supreme Court sentenced him to death in 1980. In 2014, Mr. Hakamada\u2019s lawyers won a retrial and his release after testing showed that blood on clothing that the police had used as evidence didn\u2019t contain his DNA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After the Shizuoka District Court granted Mr. Hakamada a retrial in 2014, the Tokyo High Court reversed the decision and refused to reopen the case. In 2020, the Supreme Court sided with the district court and ordered a new trial, which ended with his acquittal in September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Tuesday morning, Hideyo Ogawa, one of Mr. Hakamada\u2019s lawyers, told reporters that the payout would only somewhat make up for the hardships he had suffered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
