Original custom development: sentence_and_fine_under_appeal. Exact subject: Watanabe; Nagoya judgment. Exact retained stage: reported_imposed_under_appeal.

Own-source rationale: The complete own clause states both term and fine despite the later truncation. Retained limits: No actual time served, fine paid, refund, calendar year or finality.

Connected reporting
Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.
No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.
A page can change after it first appears. Observation dates record when its URL was seen; they do not prove that the wording assessed here was present on every date.
