On February 1, 2015, Medina was arrested after he allegedly stabbed to death his 36-year-old roommate, Joshua Sutter, on January 31.[2] Sutter had been stabbed in the abdomen with a medieval "Conan the Barbarian" sword at a home in Green Valley, west of Palmdale, California, afterward Medina called the police. Upon arrival at a hospital Sutter was pronounced dead. Medina was initially held on $1 million bail but no charges were filed against him from the district attorney due to requests on further investigation so he was released on February 3, 2015. Medina claimed that he stabbed Sutter in self-defense, after Sutter forced open the door of Medina's bedroom, in which Medina and his girlfriend had retreated after an argument between Medina and Sutter.[3][4][5][6][7] Medina had lived in the home in Green Valley for approximately two months.[8][9]

On January 14, 2016, he was arrested again on murder charges in connection with Sutter's death.[10][11][12] At that time, Medina faced a possible sentence of life imprisonment with a chance of parole after 26 years with prosecutors planning to ask that Medina be held on $1 million bail. On March 16, 2017, Medina pled guilty to one felony count of voluntary manslaughter. On March 30, 2017, Medina was sentenced to the maximum 6 years in prison.[13]

Why didn't self defense help get him off? Wouldn't his girlfriend testifying for him put him in a better spot?

Meanwhile, his Japanese equivalent, Noburo Kaneka, who played Gao Red from Gaoranger, which was adapted into Wild Storm, hasn't killed anyone and has had a steady acting career

This is fucked up. He used his powers for self-defense.
