Judge overturns ban on sexually explicit magazines for firefighters
In Los Angeles County firefighters retain access to magazines like Playboy after U S District Judge Stephen Wilson invalidated the county ban, saying quiet reading does not create a harassing atmosphere under the First Amendment. In California a gunman robbed and killed a fisherman near Big Bear Lake before a manhunt ended with a car crash and searches in the San Bernardino Mountains. In Washington the Justice Department said three companies agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to fix plastic tableware prices, with $8.36 million in fines. A federal appeals court in Pennsylvania upheld a broader definition of illegal child pornography, reinstating Stephen Knox’s conviction for possessing videos of girls aged 10 to 17.
