Judge Delays Emerson Obscenity Trial Until After Election
County Court Judge E. Robert Schaeffer postponed the second Emerson obscenity trial until after the November election. He and assistant prosecutor Mark Eckerson are running for the same judgeship this fall. Defense attorney H. Louis Sirkin argued fair trial concerns amid campaign distractions. The move may draw criticism from supporters of a conviction but could gain votes from those frustrated with Clermont's image. Jury selection remains a crucial issue for fairness and impartiality in the case.
