The legal system works

And justice has been served:

Big breasts win verdict for Japanese pin-up

TOKYO (AFP) - A Japanese pin-up model says that her big breasts have not only boosted her career -- they also helped her overturn a court verdict.

The bikini model, who goes by her professional name 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 ... "But it was my breasts" that won in court, she said.

Cool.
Kozakura, 38, 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 had said 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 110-centimetre (44-inch) bust.

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

I guess.

Anyway, aside from the titillation (heh) factor, the reason I bring this up is that a listener emailed the following comment to the radio show: "Somewhere, Johnny Cochran is looking up from his location down below and saying...

"If the tits don't fit, you must acquit"

Lucky judges, always getting to examine the evidence.

I'm sure the tension in the courtroom was palpable.

Usually, the only boobs in the courtroom are the lawyers.

Hey! The case against the model went bust because of the bust.
