Woman credits breasts for legal win

From the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up department:

In a Japanese courtroom, a pin-up model was a big bust in court -- and that helped get her cleared after she successfully argued that her large breasts made it impossible for her to squeeze through a hole a man said she used to gain entry into his room.

According to Agence France-Presse, Serena Kozakura was convicted in 2007 of property destruction after a man accused the pin-up model of kicking in his door and crawling inside to confront him about his activities with another woman.

The Tokyo High Court agreed that Kozakura's 44-inch bust was indeed too large for her to gain entry through the hole, the report states.

"I used to hate my body so much," Kozakura said, according to the report. "But it was my breasts," she said, that won in court.

Odd news of the day

A man on his way to anger management class became angry and struck a woman, authorities in St. Paul, Minn., said.

According to the Associated Press, Justin John Boudin, 27, pleaded guilty Friday to fifth-degree assault in Ramsey County District Court and can expect to face a sentence for time served in jail, at least 120 days, and probation when he is sentenced May 5, the county attorney's office said.

Boudin was waiting at a bus stop on Aug. 29 when he accosted a 59-year-old woman and others, the criminal complaint stated.

"Why don't you show me some respect?" he allegedly yelled at the woman.
When she took out a cell phone to call police, he hit her in the face, according to the complaint. When a 63-year-old man tried to stop Boudin, Boudin hit him with a blue folder — which fell on the ground — and fled.

Police tracked him down through the folder, which included Boudin's anger management homework and his name, the complaint said.

I wonder what grade the instructor gave him on the homework?
