Background on Gordon Lee’s Earlier Win

ICv2.com provides a full report on a case that retailer Gordon Lee won in Georgia, which involved the return of materials seized. There had been some inaccurate writing, including some inexcusable hackwork from me, as to whether or not Lee had won an appeal on an obscenity conviction (he hadn't). Perhaps this win, related to but distinct from the original judgment, is a reason why there was some confusion.

Lee, of Rome, Georgia's shop Legends, is currently facing charges in Georgia of of "distributing material depicting nudity" and a charge of "distributing obscene material to a minor" stemming from a more recent incident. His case is being backed by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
