News: Bondage Webmaster fights abuse conviction

This has less to do with the judge and everything to do with the jury.

It actually doesnt, not in the case of the appeal, the judge firmly made that decision all by herself.

But... respectfully disagreeing with you, the appeal was based on the argument that the conviction on *sex trafficking* wasn't appropriate.

The judge wasn't ruling on whether or not the conduct was appropriate or offensive; the appellate ruling was based simply on whether or not the arguments the defendant made as to why the sex trafficking law didn't apply.

Although the entire reasoning isn't provided, I can infer from what was stated that the arguments the defendant's attorney made simply weren't convincing to the judge. I don't think it really went to whether or not the judge agreed or disagreed with porn, but to the technical arguments that were being made in an attempt to set aside the conviction.

Dude stuffed a wiffle ball in her mouth and tried to sew her mouth shut with a surgical needle. WHOA!

Isn't a wiffle ball a little bigger in diameter that a real baseball?

"Marcus was found guilty of sex trafficking and forced labor but not guilty of distributing obscene materials."

If the jury didn't consider his content to be obscene, then they were obviously liberal and willing to judge this case by the facts and not just ethics. If he was found guilty of anything, then he probably deserved it.
