All Industry Eyes On Rome, Georgia



The trial of retailer Gordon Lee stemming from a 2004 incident when a copy of Alternative Comics #2 was mistakenly given to a pair of local children during the store's participation in a local merchants' Halloween-related promotion gets underway today. Lee has been backed since January 2005 by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, which has managed to work its way through a battery of charges, including felonies, until only two misdemeanor claims remain. Lee faces up to a year in prison and a $1,000 fine for each count, if he loses.

The local newspaper may be one of the first places to receive direct updates; here's their pre-trial article. The paper also brings recent news that Lee pulled a TJ Hooker last week on two suspected shoplifters.
