An obscenity trial in the US has been suspended after the judge overseeing it acknowledged that his own website featured sexually explicit images. Federal appeals court judge Alex Kozinski, 57, agreed to halt until Monday the trial of a businessman accused of distributing obscene videos.
Mr Kozinski said he was not aware the explicit photographs and videos on his website could be seen by the public. Public access to his site has since been blocked.
Mr Kozinski is a high-ranking and highly respected judge, and is chief judge of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Man, don’t you just hate it when that happens?

Some interesting analysis on this from Larry Lessig.
