Culture clash as U.S. and Japanese lawyers spar in Okinawa rape case

The American argued for moving the trial off Okinawa, while Japanese counsel cited legal limits. Defendants include Pfc Kendrick Ledet, Pfc Rodrico Harp, and Seaman Marcus Gill, with the case drawing protests against U.S. bases and ongoing court proceedings in Naha.
