Well at least it's nice to know that the jurors in some cases at least have a brain..
Regardless of whether the jury considered the DVDs in question to be legally obscene, the woman told XBIZ that the prevailing opinion among the jurors was that the entire case was a waste of government time and resources.
“It was a common sentiment that prosecuting obscenity crimes is a waste of time,” she said. “Overall, we were appalled that FBI resources were being used in this manner given the multitude of other more important tasks they could be undertaking.
“Also, they are prosecuting the distribution of material that is completely legal to watch in your own home. Even the jurors who found the movies horribly distasteful agreed that they didn't care if their neighbors were watching them. In order for the FBI to make a credible case for these prosecutions they need to prove definitively to us that they are in some way adversely affecting society at large.”
