USA – Japan relations: Ridge Alkonis

I don’t really understand why a major broadcaster in CNN would celebrate the release of someone responsible for two deaths due to negligence, with Utah senator Mike Lee saying Japan owes Ridge Alkonis an apology.

He was held after his crime at a US Navy base, not by North Korea. It’s bewildering.

Anyway, question is, what is everyone’s take on the story and how can the US prevent base personnel from committing crimes in Japan and then fleeing rightful punishment?
