Also even if that logic worked sexual harrassment =/= attempt at murder. Akiyama was in no immediate danger, nor was AJ attempting to flee or forcefully withhold what he stole from her, she didn't even ask for him to switch them back before immediately resorting to violence, making said violence unjustified. That is a felony no matter how you spin it.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>If we accept the sexual assault charge for the moment, what follows can be seen as self-defence. That's not a felony. Even if Akiyama exceeds the amount of force necessary to prevent the sexual harrasment that could still be legal, and if illegal might not be punishable by law. That depends on the legal doctrine you apply to self defence, which may differ from country to country and situation to situation. It depends on definitions of resonableness and proportionality, which can be a bit tricky.
