Today, I ran into
"On Old Waffle Batter" on
Three Panel Soul, and I decided to read into it a little more (I kind of like legal twists like these, especially when it kicks the butt of a group of hypocrites).
It turns out that this case served back in 2000; Larry Peterman ran a video store in Utah, and was charged with selling obscene material (the story doesn't say what kind, but I'll leave that the imagination).
Just before the trial, his (Mormon!) lawyer came up with the idea of checking how much Pay-per-view smut was bought in Utah recently, and handed it over to the jury, which in their turn needed only ten minutes to find mr. Peterman not guilty.
Now that's cool.
Cheers, K.
