The one thing that really scares me about how this case went down is the obvious manipulation of the jury in many ways. Obscenity is established by viewing the ENTIRE BODY OF WORK, not just portions, it must be taken in it's entirety. The jury in this case were ONLY SHOWN TRAILERS, and when it was requested that they view the FULL body of work, they were DENIED. THAT scares the shit out of me, because now all of a sudden even "obscenity under community standards" isn't fair this way.
