A juror serving in the Tampa obscenity trial of a Hollywood producer
has asked the judge if shorter portions of pornographic movies could be
shown in court as evidence. The male juror requested in a note
yesterday to U.S. District Judge Susan C. Bucklew not to show the
movies in their entirety. Bucklew decided to let the prosecution and
defense play as much or as little of the five pornographic films in the
case as they deemed necessary. Producer, director and porn star
Paul F. Little and his company, MaxWorld Entertainment Inc., are
charged with five counts of using a computer server to sell obscene
matter and five counts of delivering obscene matter through the U.S.
mail. Little's Max Hardcore Web site was housed on servers in downtown
Tampa for about three years.
