July 19, 2003 -- Notoriously foul-mouthed Al Goldstein is back on top in his battle with the law after a Brooklyn appeals court tossed a harassment conviction because a prosecutor took inappropriate pot shots at the smut king during his trial.
"It was a bull- - - - arrest. The Spanish Inquisition was reversed and so too was my prosecution," the portly Screw magazine publisher, who served nine days of a two-month sentence in Rikers for harassing his former personal assistant, told The Post.

"Those were the worst nine days in my life. I'm not a Mafia hit man."

The panel of three state appeals judges ordered a new trial Thursday, and criticized Assistant DA David Cetron for trying to make Goldstein "appear ridiculous" and for telling jurors that defense lawyer Charles DeStefano had been "dishonest."

Goldstein is a crazy man! I'm glad to see the charges tossed if he didn't get a fair trial.

I'd love to see that trial, what a circus that must have been :1orglaugh
