When Japan’s notorious “black widow” serial killer admitted to murdering her husband for his money, she told a court she would laugh in the face of a death sentence. “Even if I were executed tomorrow, I would die smiling,” Chisako Kakehi said to the judges in her trial testimony in July, according to AFP. “I got angry,” she said, Mainichi reported. But later that week, she backtracked, saying she did not remember admitting to the killing, Mainichi reported. Prosecutors called her actions “shrewd and despicable.” Yet after receiving the death sentence, Kakehi simply blinked, showing no expression on her face, the Maininchi.
