A woman claiming to be a member of the jury for the JM Productions/Five Star Video obscenity case told XBIZ that the jury wrestled with how to accurately gauge the “community standard” of the Phoenix area.
A Phoenix jury has found that Five Star Video and Five Star Video Outlet are guilty of interstate transportation of obscene materials and the interstate transportation of obscene material by common carrier, after shipping the JM Productions title “Gag Factor 18” to an FBI agent in Virginia.
Over what one observer termed “strong and repeated government objections,” Judge Rosalyn O. Silver yesterday dismissed all charges against Ken Graham, co-owner of Five Star Video and Five Star Video Outlet.
