SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS

The japanese man, Kabuo Miyamoto, is accused because of the murder of the fisherman Carl Heine. Carl was found at daylight in his own fishing net with the lights on of his boat, drowned. He had a heavy head injury and the bone was broken in some parts of the skull. So the justice thinks that this could be, because somebody has banged his head, maybe with a long, flat object. But there were no really evidences of a fight. The head injury reminds of the war, often seen at Kando, a japanese stick fighting. Stick fighting is to kill someone only with sticks and Japanese learn this already in their childhood.
A murder motive could be the thing that the Heine family sold land to the Miyamotos, but then the Miyamotos didn't want to pay the last 2 rates. So the Heines took their land back and sold it Ole Jurgensen. A few days before the murder happened Kabou stood in front of the door of Carl and shouted at him because he wanted his land back.
Another argument who militates against Kabuo is that on the fishhook was blood of the blood type B+ and the blood type of the accused is 0.
Other suspect things are that there were batteries of Kabuo in Carl’s battery holder, altough they didn’t fit in. After the charge, Ismail discovers the real story. The death of Carl was an accident. In this night when Carl died, he wanted to take down the laterns from the top of his boat, but he fell. That's the reason why his skull was broken. He fell in his net and couldn’t get back on the surface. Kabuo was scared and he knew that everyone will think that he has killed Carl. So he took some batteries of himself and put it on the place of the missing batterie.
The wound on his hand was because Carl has cutted himself with his fisherhook.
The jurist finds Kabuo not guilty. Nobody should be accused because of his nationality. The most important point is fairness and justice.
