Mistrial declared in obscenity case over fetish film
The panel deliberated for about a day after watching four films created or distributed by Isaacs, whose Internet-based business specialized in a niche of the pornography industry that included scatology and bestiality. Jurors were deadlocked 10 to 2 in favor of conviction. Two of the four women on the panel voted against conviction, including a 75-year-old who in court last week wore a Christmas-themed sweater with snowmen, said the filmmaker's attorney, Roger Diamond.
Isaacs said that juror told him after the trial that she found artistic value in the movies.
