144 THE THIRD MURDER SANDOME NO SATSUJIN zà xàqïð ªÀÄqÀðgï JAPAN / 2017 / JAPANESE / 124 MIN. A top lawyer Shigemori, is asked to join in the defense of Misumi, who has already spent 30 years in prison for a previous double murder. Misumi is now back in jail, having willingly admitted that he robbed, killed and burned the body of his former employer. It seems to be an open-and-shut case. But once Shigemori starts digging, interviewing his client and the victim s family, the evidence is no longer obvious and the cynical attorney, who is much more interested in winning the case than unveiling the truth, begins to doubt that Misumi is indeed the guilty party.
