Obscenity Mogul Won’t Get His Case Dismissed Due to Kozinski’s Declaration of Mistrial
The AP reports:
A federal judge refused to dismiss obscenity charges against an adult film producer Monday after a scandal with the trial judge this summer forced a mistrial.
As opening statements were under way at Ira Isaacs’ trial in June, the Los Angeles Times reported that Judge Alex Kozinski had posted sexually explicit materials on his personal Web site. He recused himself and declared a mistrial.
U.S. District Court Judge George King ruled that Kozinski properly recused himself and double jeopardy is not an issue if Isaacs is tried a second time.
Meanwhile, I’m in possession of another interesting story about Judge Kozinski, but I don’t think I’ll be writing about it, or tipping off any reporters about it. Too hard to explain why. They’ll have to figure it out on their own, and they probably won’t.
Hey, if this is about that video he posted of the donkey and the woman having sex, remember that he gave the video a funny name. That makes it humor, not porn, if patterico’s blog is to be believed.

Patterico – Cyrus the faux intellectual snob is not going to be happy to hear that your are holding back on him, but then again, maybe that’s what this post is all about.

Patterico – I know you’re busy but Obama’s campaign finance report? Hhhmmm?

Curtis, have you not been paying attention? It isn’t Patterico that does those posts.

Kevin,
I don’t think everyone is in on the inside joke that you deliberately attempt to resemble a moron.
Someone might take your mischaracterization seriously.

There’s always a chance that I’m not merely resembling one. Isn’t this the site that said that showing a video of a hundred + chinese people having sex in a room was not porn because he called the video ‘chinese mass-production’?

Resemblance is pretty strong from here.
