Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Alex Kozinski declared a mistrial in the L.A. obscenity case and recused himself due to the public controversy regarding humorous and explicit pictures on his website. (WSJ)[Even I think this is a tempest in a teapot. The pictures on the judge's website were humorous, rather than pornographic. Sure Catholic priests and some women would be offended by the pics, but a mistrial? Wow. It takes a lot for me to say the media's gone too far in scrutinizing a judge, but this whole website story is too over-the-top and irrelevant to the obscenity trial to not call the whole "scandal" ridiculous]
As a result, the L.A. trial of the creator of bestiality and scat porn will have to wait. Intrigued by what the Grand Jury would have to say about bestiality and scat porn? You can read the indictment here.
