Gordon Lee Trial Set for Next Week

Almost exactly three years after the initial incident that led to criminal charges, the case against Georgia retailer Gordon Lee will go to trial Monday on two misdemeanor charges, that if he loses, could result in fines and jail time. The case stems from a Halloween 2004 incident where Lee allowed a copy of Alternative Comics #2 to get into the hands of a pair of minors during a holiday giveaway sponsored by local merchants in Rome, Georgia. That book contained incidental male nudity. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund took the case on in early 2005, and since then there's been legal wrangling resulting in several dropped or reduced charges and other more inexplicable delays including a sick judge. The Fund has spent around $80,000 in their handling of the case.
