Curtis backs juries to judge obscenity over court
UPI reports Senator Carl Curtis of Nebraska argues that juries are better suited than the Supreme Court to decide what is obscene. He promotes the Curtis-Hruska proposal extending criminal actions for possession sale or use of obscene material to state and federal statutes. Curtis says obscenity is a fact question best decided by a jury of 12 carefully instructed citizens. He notes support from Omaha and references late Senator Everett Dirksen who sponsored similar legislation previously.
