ALLEY CAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 36093 From: Mesa, Az Registered: JUL 2000	posted 05-03-2005 08:56 AM Today we travel to Laramie, Wyoming to observe that spring isn't quite here yet: Laramie men face charges Two Laramie men are facing obscenity charges for allegedly building a snow sculpture of a phallus in their front yard. Brandon Arp, 20, and Aric Davenport, 19, were arraigned Friday in Albany County Circuit Court on charges of promoting obscenity. Both men pleaded not guilty and are free on a $1,000 bond. If convicted, they could each face up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. According to police reports, the men made the sculpture in the 1200 block of Custer Street on April 29. Reports say the sculpture was “offensive to other residents in the area.” The sculpture was destroyed, and initially, police said no citations had been issued. That same morning, a second sculpture involving an “anatomically correct snowman” was destroyed in the 700 block of South 17th Street. Laramie Police Commander Dale Stalder said police questioned whether the sculpture was protected under the First Amendment. Davenport’s attorney, Michael Vang, has filed a motion challenging some of the claims. Vang said it was unclear who was offended by the sculpture or how it violates Wyoming obscenity laws. State statutes say a person promotes obscenity if he or she “produces or reproduces obscene material with the intent of disseminating it.” Additionally, that person is guilty if he or she “possesses obscene material with the intent of disseminating it” or “knowingly disseminates obscene material.” In this case, Vang said the obscenity statute was “being selectively enforced.” Police failed to show how the sculpture was obscene under the First Amendment, he said.

How do they know the snowman wasn't made by a really short person who couldn't reach quite high enough to put the carrot nose in the middle of the snowman's face? I should have been a lawyer... Orange, There's work to be done here. This message has been edited by lavka on 05-03-2005 at 01:56 PM

Orange unregistered Posts: 884 From: Marble Falls, Texas Registered: JUN 2001	posted 05-03-2005 03:03 PM What's really sad is the amount of money going to waste on these kind of cases. It costs a lot to run a courtroom, employ personnel, pay a district attorney, etc. I rather the government spend money on more important things, like making sure our soldiers have good food and that poor people are able to get medications.
