A Tokyo High Court has overturned a Japanese pin up model's conviction after her breast size casted doubt on the testimony against her. Serena Kozakura, 38, had her conviction for willful destruction of property overturned after her lawyers successfully argued she couldn't have committed the crime with breasts so large. The model allegedly kicked in a wooden door to a man's room and crawled inside, to reportedly catch him with another woman.
