TOKYO (Reuters) - The new lawyer for ousted Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn said his client should be released on bail while awaiting trial and that Japan was out of step with international norms.

At his first press briefing, Junichiro Hironaka also said that Ghosn's case should have been dealt with internally at Nissan.
