A computer expert on trial for sending violent threats from other people's hacked computers has admitted he's guilty, calling himself "a psychopath" in a surprise confession, his lawyer said May 20, potentially ending a case that had earlier seen police arrest the wrong suspects.

Former IT worker Yusuke Katayama, 32, had for months insisted he was "utterly innocent." But he finally confessed early May 20, saying, "I think I'm a psychopath, because lies just come out of me naturally," according to his lawyer. (The Japan Times)
