Verdict: False
### Topic
Okawara Manufacturing Case: Authorities' Lack of Technical Verification and Evidence Blind Spots
### Summary
Okawara Manufacturing submitted experimental data denying its product's "sterilization/disinfection" capability, but investigative authorities reportedly failed to verify it. This led to a lack of objective assessment regarding the product's technical requirements, raising serious doubts about the fairness of the investigation and the evidence evaluation process.
### Body
Okawara Manufacturing claimed that its spray dryer did not possess "sterilization/disinfection" capabilities, a requirement under export control regulations. This assertion was based on technical limitations, specifically that even when the spray dryer was run empty, certain internal parts did not reach sufficiently high temperatures to kill all bacteria, thus failing to achieve "sterilization" or "disinfection." To demonstrate this, Okawara Manufacturing conducted experiments showing its product did not meet "sterilization/disinfection" requirements and submitted the experimental data to investigative authorities.
However, it has been reported that the police and prosecutors did not conduct new experiments to verify the experimental data submitted by Okawara Manufacturing, which indicated the product's inability to sterilize or disinfect. This signifies a lack of process by investigative authorities to independently verify the scientific basis of technical counter-arguments presented by the accused. Consequently, an objective verification of the scientific validity of Okawara Manufacturing's claim that its product cannot sterilize or disinfect was not performed by the investigative authorities.
There was an expectation that investigative authorities should have conducted independent verification experiments to confirm the scientific validity of the technical counter-argument data regarding the inability to "sterilize or disinfect," which was submitted by the accused. However, the actual evidence shows that despite Okawara Manufacturing conducting experiments to demonstrate its equipment did not meet "sterilization/disinfection" requirements and submitting that data, the police and prosecutors did not conduct new experiments to verify this point. From this fact, an anomaly is identified: the lack of a verification process by investigative authorities, or the possibility of intentional avoidance of verification, regarding the experimental data underlying the technical counter-argument presented by the accused.
### Verification
Investigative authorities reportedly did not conduct independent verification experiments on the experimental data submitted by Okawara Manufacturing, which indicated the product's inability to "sterilize or disinfect." This fact led to the loss of an opportunity to objectively confirm the scientific validity of the accused's counter-argument.
### Supplement
In this case, it is problematic that despite the accused presenting specialized technical grounds to deny the product's capabilities, investigative authorities did not scientifically verify their counter-argument. This raises significant issues regarding the fairness of evidence evaluation and the assurance of scientific validity in criminal investigations.
### Evidence
CRITICAL DATA DEFICIENCY: The specific content of the experimental data (experimental protocol, measurement points, temperature rise curves, microbial reduction rates, types of microorganisms used, etc.) supposedly submitted by Okawara Manufacturing to investigative authorities, demonstrating its inability to "sterilize or disinfect," is necessary to directly verify its scientific basis and the validity of the counter-argument.
CRITICAL DATA DEFICIENCY: Internal decision records, meeting minutes, communication logs, or testimonies from relevant parties that substantiate the reported fact that the police and prosecutors did not conduct new experiments to verify Okawara Manufacturing's experimental data are necessary to verify the fairness of the investigation and the transparency of the evidence evaluation process.
CRITICAL DATA DEFICIENCY: Internal documents, communication logs, or testimonies from relevant parties that directly corroborate the reported fact that the Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau "intentionally ignored or discarded experimental results" regarding Okawara Manufacturing's counter-argument about its inability to "sterilize or disinfect" are necessary to verify the fairness of the investigation and suspicions regarding the handling of evidence.
