My translation of the summary from https://jbbs.shitaraba.net/bbs/read.cgi/music/29852/1553736787 for 12/30 (Monday).

Thanks to @speranzom for his translations of the case information and papers for reference, as well as the Takken Taro summary.

Note: I try to repeat the Japanese thread as closely as possible here. Where I do make some editorial additions I’ll put them in [ ], though I do occasionally soften the posters’ tone.

    • (From the plaintiff’s preparatory papers – The defendants state: “The action of “pulling aside” Defendant 2 was unnecessary in order to have gone over and faced Yamaguchi Maho, this doesn’t match the relative position we were in”)They argue on about “this doesn’t match the relative position we were in”, but since I [Takkentaro] did personally visit inside the building in question, I could get a rough idea of the distance between rooms #303 and #314
      • Now, room #303 is the apartment Yamaguchi Maho-san rented
      • Room #314 is formerly Tano-san’s room, and which defendant #1 booked
      • This one is the property about which Defendant #1, claiming he did personally rent it, put forward as an evidence to the courthouse the explanatory pamphlet of a set-time rental contract without any signatures or stamps
      • And the set up of that building complex is a quite interesting one, to boot
      • In ordinary buildings, it’s frequent for the doors to be meant to the opened with the right hand. If the door knob is on the right side then they are easier to open.
    • (*First picture: an overview sketch of the 3rd floor of Maison des Riches)Once you walk out of the elevator, you immediately find in front of yourself a wall. It’s not like there’s a hallway going straight from there, there’s instead a stepped platforms, from there you turn left, and once there you have connected to it the hallway, stretching for a long distance both to the left and right sides.
      • For room #303, you should walk out of the elevator, go a little bit to the left, and proceeding immediately to the left after the dead end you’ll have straight away room #303 next to you.
      • ”It’s diagonally in front”, I’d rather say, but it pretty surely not really straight in front of it. Maybe it’s more appropriate saying it’s a little diagonally, but close to being right in front of it? Well, over there is room #314 instead.
      • Well, as I have said, it’s the sort with the doorknob on the left. Never mind that the right-handed kind is more commonplace and make it easier to open.
      • So, first you would walk out of the elevator, then turn all around yourself, and you’ll bump yourself against a wall. There’s a hallway then stretching right in front of you, anyway on the side of the wall where room #303 is, the doorknobs are “right-handed”. It means the doorknob is on the right side.
      • Meanwhile, on the opposite side, on the door of room #314 diagonally in front of it isn’t on the right side to you facing that way, but on the left side.
      • So the condition is such that when you get off the elevator and walk toward the hallway, the doorknobs are then all close to the direction of the elevator.
      • The doorknob of room #314 standing on the opposite side as #303 are not designed for the right-handed but for the left-handed, they are made therefor in a way you should open them with your left hand.
      • As such, when Yamaguchi-san would open the door of room #303 and be about to get inside, suppose that the door of room #314, extremely close to it, would open too.
      • In the case of heading to the room #303, and coming inside with the door open, it’s not such a long distance. Rooms #314 and #303 are about 1m and 40cm apart from the place where the respective doors open.
      • Therefore, if the other were to open the door and be in the process of entering inside, the door of room #314 is such that reaching the place where the doorknob of room #303  is would take less than one second if you storm out fast.
      • Regarding the claims of the defendant side, Defendant #2 (Kitagawa) first talked about stopping Yamaguchi Maho-san from entering inside of the apartment, with it turning into a push-and-shove and each other yanking the door each their side.
      • If you then try walking on from that point on, there’ll be obviously Defendant #2 standing in the way. Although Defendant #1 (Kasai) is convinced that pulling him to the side is an unnecessary action.
      • For some unexplained reason Defendant #1 is claiming that “pulling him to the side is an unnecessary action” indeed. As is, it’s superfluous and doesn’t match with each other’s relative positions.
    • (From the plaintiff’s preparatory papers – The defendants deny that Defendant 1 acted to grab her face)For the purpose of the claiming he didn’t clutch her face, they have to go all  the way to say that the statements on Yamaguchi-san’s side don’t stand to reason. And so this act of shoving him aside wan’t necessary either, therefore even the act of clutching her face happening before it was also not necessary — this is the logic reasoning the probably want to make.
      • Or maybe the impression they want the judge to get is that: even assuming there was no action of shoving him aside, that the act of clutching her face was necessary instead
      • Nevertheless, the plaintiff’s side, AKS, is rebutting to it this way: “The statements of Defendant #1 lack believe-ability”
    • (From the plaintiff’s preparatory paper – Defendant 2 was standing extremely close to Yamaguchi, within the doorway, indeed standing on the same side as Yamaguchi)This view is the same that I hold. Whatever the case, Yamaguchi-san had entered her apartment and was about to close the door, so as it’s natural she was physically inside of the apartment.
      • For Defendant #2 to push against her face, to press her face in any way, it was thus be first necessary for him to wrestle his way in a manner that his body would be half inside already.
      • With Yamaguchi-san inside of the apartment, it would be practically impossible for Defendant #2 to clutch her face still if he were outside in the hallway, therefore I have got to wonder if he actually didn’t step inside already.
      • And so, as he was attempting to forcibly enter inside, Yamaguchi-san then tried to push him outside.
      • Once doing so, one would think Defendant #1, who was still inside room #314, then felt concerned, wonder what was going on then exited in agitation, and joined in the scuffle. Wouldn’t it be necessary to pull the other one away, while at it, methinks?
      • So, with things having gone this way, now Defendant #1 should have stepped inside in the act of intervening between the two sides, right? If so, even conceding that there wasn’t any act of violently shoving the other one for the right from the left, it’s not that this act of intervening in between can’t be said to included “showing the other aside”
      • I have to suppose how the sequence of events [note: from Maho’s testimony] do make sense, but then again even the attorney on AKS’s side is expressing the same notion.
    • (From the plaintiff’s preparatory papers – Defendant #2 must have actually thrusted his body inside the space on miss Yamaguchi’s side, so in order for defendant #1 to intervene between miss Yamaguchi and defendant #2, etc…)I tried to read between the lines of the AKS attorneys’ claims, but as it turns out in the end it does say, “There was an assault incident” and “There was a criminal incident”. 
      • If you take what the attorney is saying and consider it in a normal way, isn’t it “Even though it ended without prosecution, it’s not that it was a matter of ‘non-suspicion’ or ‘insufficient suspicion’, but rather that it ended up so by reason of suspension of indictment”, that is to say the most logical conclusion one can possibly think of?
      • Even to this day Yoshinari-san has never said a word to retract and apologize about what she said, that there was no incident. Listen carefully to the judgement of the attorney — Is such a point of view of yours really okay? Didn’t an incident actually happen?; that’s what I’m firmly thinking.
