Potential Jurors Nauseated By Obscenity Case
-- not sure if this has been posted yet.... what a hoot!
Potential Jurors Nauseated By Obscenity Case LOS ANGELES (AP) ― A jury has been selected in the Los Angeles obscenity trial of a filmmaker charged with selling movies depicting bestiality and defecation. Ira Isaacs calls himself a "shock artist" and says he went into distributing and producing films about fetishes because he "wanted to do something extreme." The judge warned potential jurors that they would be required to watch several hours of the videos that include violence against women. Dozens were dismissed because they told the judge that watching the videos would make them sick to their stomachs. Opening statements will get under way in the morning. Jurors will then spend the afternoon watching the videos. Isaacs faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of all four charges against him. |
Anyone got a link to the vids?

From this Washington Post article this quote is very interesting.
update: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...002449_pf.html "This task force was quite controversial and many in the Department of Justice felt that it was a waste of resources," Rosenbluth said. "Because of the pressure, they seem to have chosen the worst cases they can find to prosecute." Each of the four counts against Isaacs carries a five-year maximum prison sentence. Prosecutors also are seeking forfeiture of assets obtained through his video sales. Two of the original six counts were dropped. "A lot of this is about sending a message _ `Don't make this stuff. Don't put it on the Internet. We don't want it here,'" Rosenbluth said." |

More interesting is why was the judge replaced with whom he was replaced with (do own research, hint 9th circuit). Then also note he (person charged) is allowed to be an expert witness. Also note that both 2257 counts were tossed out even though they were in obvious violation. Plus one of the earlier cases that helped make up what became the Miller case is again nearly on trial.
And to think the supreme court of the US already ruled long ago that possession of obscene material is legal, go figure eh? Just another of several obscenity or otherwise very interesting cases all in trial mode, but yup nobody is after us and the vanilla people have no concerns. Connecting the assorted trial dots shows a slightly bigger picture of a very interesting battle plan. Remember the 1st amendment is only popular when it goes with others beliefs, once you go against even one groups and then support for that same freedom drops significantly. |
Yay... one more asshole representing YOU in the court of public opinion!
