All national dailies other than Nikkei gave top play to reports on a ruling by the Tokyo District Court on Thursday that three former executives of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings are not guilty of professional negligence resulting in death by failing to prevent the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011. Nikkei led with a report on the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates. All broadcasters led with reports on the arrest yesterday of a man on suspicion of murdering his nine-year-old stepson.
