I believe that there is an excerpt from Mitose's court hearing on the internet. In fact it might even be on the Tracy Kenpo website, but I'm not sure. Just from what I've read, Mitose was involved in loan shark type of deal where he expected to get back some $$ and then some from an elderly farming couple, and when that didn't happen he sent one of his students to take care of the matter. As a result, the male victim was killed.

there's a good article here about the whole scenario.
while i haven't researched this matter thoroughly, i will say that this person's arguments make sense to me.
