Yamagami stated he held a grudge against the Unification Church because his mother's large donations to the group, totaling 100 million yen, caused his family's financial ruin. He believed Abe was connected to the church's political involvement in Japan.

Prosecutors demanded life imprisonment for Yamagami, calling the act unprecedented in the country's postwar history. His defense counsel argued for a maximum sentence of 20 years, citing his tragic upbringing and harm caused by a religious group.

The assassination shocked Japan, a nation with strict gun control and rare political violence. The last high-profile political assassination in Japan occurred in 1936, when two former prime ministers were killed during a military coup.

The case brought scrutiny to ties between the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the Unification Church. A government investigation led to the Tokyo District Court ordering the church to be dissolved and stripped of its tax benefits as a religious corporation.

A law was enacted in December 2022 to regulate manipulative fundraising tactics by organizations, drawing attention to the suffering of children of Unification Church members. Thousands signed a petition requesting leniency for Yamagami.
