A New Zealand court has decided that a convicted killer can seek an appeal after new evidence showed that he may have been reenacting a scene from an anime.
The lawyers of Gabriel Hikari Yad-Elohim, who was convicted of killing a man in 2017, have argued that he was not in the right state of mind during the attack after they said new evidence showed he had been imitating a character from the anime "Bleach," as reported by the New Zealand Herald.
