Band Cleared Over Alleged Judas Priest Subliminal Message
Washoe District Judge Jerry Carr Whitehead ruled that the British band Judas Priest did not cause two youths to kill themselves by a subliminal message on Sainted Class. The court found the "do it" line on Better By You Better Than Me was not intentional and did not drive the deaths. The judge ordered CBS Records to pay $40,000 to the plaintiffs' attorneys.
