Pornographer Ira Isaacs’ obscenity trial ended today with a hung jury. That’s not a crude joke: After watching four films featuring scatology and bestiality, the jury of 12 was unable to come to a verdict. It was a close call: 10 found him guilty; two voted “innocent.” The prosecution has yet to decide whether it will retry the case — but Isaacs, reached by phone this afternoon, says he expects this “roller coaster” to continue.

Interestingly, he says the prosecution was worried that the defense was stacking the jury with men — but it was two women who voted in his favor. Isaacs says he spoke with one of those women, a 75-year-old who, according to the Los Angeles Times, “wore a Christmas-themed sweater with snowmen” to court, and thanked her “for standing up for freedom of speech.” He says that the juror was particularly sympathetic to his argument about artistic merit and freedom of speech because her late husband made horror movies.
