Illinois Obscenity Act Ruled Unconstitutional by Federal Court
A three judge panel ruled the Illinois Obscenity Act unconstitutional for lacking a precise definition of obscene conduct. The ruling suspends the law and blocks further arrests at Rockford area stores while allowing state prosecution to continue in other venues. The decision could prompt a direct appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court by state officials.
