Quoted from the Tribune.
For about 40 minutes Wednesday and for more than an hour this morning, the entire DVD "Max Extreme 20" was shown to jurors.
As the DVD began, the jurors sat mostly stone faced. Two women blushed and smiled slightly. One woman sat wide-eyed.
The DVD progressed, and the smiles vanished. Hands often covered mouths. Men and women fidgeted in their seats.
Expressions turned to concern as women onscreen screamed in pain during some scenes.
In one scene, Little slaps a woman repeatedly, curses at her and urinates on her. She vomits.
"That's OK," Little says in the film. "You look better with puke on your face."
As the rough sex continues, they discuss her fictional 12-year-old daughter. Little, playing the role of Max Hardcore, tells the woman he had sex with the "preteen."
In another scene, a younger woman says she is a virgin. The Hardcore character gives her a modeling job.
He grabs her neck and the back of her hair, and forces her into a sex act. The girl vomits.
Several of the jurors wince. One man rubs his closed eyes for several seconds.
During a sex act, the young woman begins to scream.
"I've got to move," she says. "Ow, ow, ow."
Hardcore slaps away her hands.
"Stop, stop, stop," she says. "Can we stop for a minute? Can we have a break?"
The scene ends abruptly but begins again and lasts for several more minutes.
While I don't agree he should have been in court to begin with, This needs a judge not a jury. No jury in this country is going to NOT consider this obscene. right or wrong, it doesn't matter.
