Japanese Woman's Big Breasts Help Prove Her Innocence

A Japanese woman says that her big breasts helped prove her innocence and overturn a court verdict.

The woman, Serena Kozakura, was cleared after a court decided she was too well-endowed to squeeze into a room through a hole, as she had been found guilty of earlier.

"I used to hate my body so much," Kozakura told television channel Asahi in an interview after the verdict.

"But it was my breasts that won in court", she said.

The case was splashed through the Japanese media, and the TV channel even invited her to demonstrate how she could not fit through the hole on live TV. Men would have no doubt enjoyed a demonstration but Kozakura passed.

The 38-year-old was convicted last year of property destruction after a man said she kicked in the wooden door of his room and crawled inside, apparently because he was with another woman. Kozakura insisted the man made the hole himself.

In her appeal, the defence counsel held up a plate showing the size of the hole and said that she could not squeeze through with her 44-inch bust. Tokyo High Court's presiding judge Kunio Harada agreed and threw out the guilty verdict, saying there was reasonable doubt over the man's account.

"The judges were very good-mannered as they showed no expressions on their faces. I guess they're well-trained," Kozakura said.
