Obsenity Trial Halted Due To Federal Appeals Court Judge’s Online Porn Collection

Move over Hedgehog, US Federal Appeals Court Judge Alex Kozinski is my new porno hero. Because of his personal web site, which includes a few “adult” images purportedly uploaded by his son, Kozinski has suspended the obscenity trial he was overseeing.

From my pal the BBC:

Mr Kozinski granted a joint prosecution and defence motion to suspend the trial after prosecutors asked for time to explore a potential conflict of interest.
It came after Mr Kozinski admitted in an interview published on the Los Angeles Times website that he had posted the material and shared some of it with friends.
Earlier, jurors had spent hours watching videos of bestiality and extreme fetishes that were evidence in the trial of Ira Isaacs, a Los Angeles businessman.
Everyone in the family stores stuff there, and I had no idea what some of the stuff is or was

Mr Kozinski told the newspaper that he thought most of the material on his website was “funny” but acknowledged some of it was inappropriate.
