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 understand the girl turning away....but what's wrong with the guy? Guys don't sleep during pr0n! Not a real one, anyway...

This quote should go in big letters on the movie box cover, just as if it were Rex Reed giving four stars.

Did you recently grow a goatee and turn into "evil" Quiksand? :)

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.

What is it with Cincy and porn?

Have no fear, neofied. Porn is everywhere. Cincy just has nothing else to talk about.

CR

Why is this guy on trial? What a fucking waste of money...

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?"

hahahahahahahaha:D

How could the dude fall asleep while watching porn?!?!?!?!?!

What a waste of money, who the hell cares??????
