Commonwealth v. March

352 A.2d 65, 238 Pa. Super. 8, 1975 Pa. Super. LEXIS 2576

Superior Court of Pennsylvania·Decided December 22, 1975·No. Appeal, No. 878·Published

Opinion

Opinion by

Hoffman, J.,

Appellants challenge their convictions under §4524 of the Penal Code¹ because §4524 does not specifically define “obscenity” as mandated by Miller v. California, [9] 413 U.S. 15 (1973). In a companion case decided today, Commonwealth v. Krasner, 238 Pa. Superior Ct. 1, 352 A.2d 479 (1975), we reversed Krasner’s conviction on the grounds alleged as error by appellants herein.

Accordingly, the judgment of sentence is reversed and appellants are discharged.
