Trinkler v. Alabama

418 U.S. 917, 94 S. Ct. 3207, 41 L. Ed. 2d 1160, 1974 U.S. LEXIS 2183

Opinions

Ct. Crim. App. Ala. Certiorari granted, judgment vacated, and case remanded for further consideration in light of Hamling v. United States, ante, p. 87, and Jenkins v. Georgia, ante, p. 153. Mr. Justice Douglas, being of the view that any state ban on obscenity is prohibited by the First Amendment, made applicable to the States by the Fourteenth (see Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, 413 U. S. 49, 70 (1973) (Douglas, J., dissenting)), would grant certio-rari and reverse the judgment.
