Involuntarily committed by judgment of the Supreme Court. Mister Shindo has committed third-degree murder and the jury deemed insanity as the cause. In court the alleged was living with a romantic partner, whom reportedly "was an alcoholic" and "accused" mister Shindo of cheating on him with an ex. According to mister Shindo the man, mister Nanashi Komiyu, "attacked" him. The police report stated that Mister Shindo hit mister Komiyu in the head with an ashtray and "beat him to death with his own hands".
Although mister Shindo shows no signs of psychotic or mentally ill behavior, as a safety precaution will be committed for at least two years until the extensive evaluation is complete. Doctor Kusanagi has been appointed to take charge of mister Shindo's evaluation.
Never thought Shuichi was capable huh? I do, just because even though it's against his perceived nature, all people are capable of almost anything when put in certain situations. It's not that hard to take self-defense again an enraged drunk too far and not even know it.
Shuichi's situation was similar to Eiri's close encounter with mister Kitazawa and his friends. Close, but the difference is that Nanashi was jealous and, even though Shuichi hadn't been talk to him, thought Shuichi was still sleeping with Eiri.
