What, the plot wasn't good enough?
http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/07/23/sl....ap/index.html
Mistrial declared after two jurors fail to observe evidence Wednesday, July 23, 2003 Posted: 3:55 PM EDT (1955 GMT) CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) -- A sleepy juror and another who averted her eyes from the evidence led a judge to declare a mistrial in the case of a store owner charged with selling a pornographic video. Shawn Jenkins, owner of Tip Top Magazines, went on trial Monday on obscenity charges. He was arrested after sheriff's officials bought a copy of a videotape for $15 at his Cincinnati store. Defense attorney Louis Sirkin complained that when the jury watched the 90-minute video on Tuesday, a male juror dozed off and a female juror turned away several times. The judge declared a mistrial. Prosecutor Bud Greenberg said he understood why the juror would turn her head: "This video is so disgusting that that is the natural" reaction. Jenkins could get up to a year in jail if convicted. |

I dunno, I'm trying out different hats lately.
"Dick" went over pretty well, don't you think? |

I thought you already had a long term relationship with one hat?

Heh. Funny you shoud mention that hat (which I am wearing as I type, oddly enough). I thought it a longshot that anyone would get the reference if I dropped it. |

This may be the ol' pornographic "community standards" test. We had a similar trial about 8-10 years ago in Tallahassee, and when they refused to convict...well, now we have condomology and the Adult Toy Box and all of that crap in town.

Imagine the kind of questions they had for jury selection.
"Um sir, would you recognize a hummer if you saw one, and I don't mean the car?"
