"Lawyers who specialize in obscenity cases…track jury verdicts and can tell you with nearly 100% reliability whether what they're looking at would be ruled obscene by a jury…."


Tell that to the people who had to defend The Tin Drum in court.

And the Max Hardcore thing is TMI.

Simply, you can't possess something without first receiving it. Yet, receipt carries the 5 year mandatory minimum sentence, while possession does not.


More retarded double-standard bullshit from the people who thought smoking marijuana deserves a harsher sentence than rape and murder. Rolling Eyes

(I note that a ban on "kids having sex" pictures, even when only drawn, appears widely supported even by many otherwise apparently liberal bloggers.)


Well, these are probably the same dumb-fooks more appalled by sex in GTA than beating up hookers, so I'm not surprised.

Quote:
Unlike Max Hardcore, who opted for the trial (remember, his prosecution was equally, if not more, offensive to notions of free speech), Chris will likely never have a jail door slam behind him.


And Max actually has the dough to defend himself.

In defense of Chris Handley, given his choices, I suppose all I can do is ask: What would you have done?


I'd probably appeal this shit, if possible.

There exists a split among Federal Courts of Appeal in different parts of the country that the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to address and resolve.


Having a sexist pig like Clarence Thomas is probably the only advantage on our side.

You can't appeal if you plead guilty, only if you're found guilty at trial.
