Commonwealth v. March
Superior Court of Pennsylvania · Decided December 22, 1975 · Ceecone, Hoffman, Jacobs, Price, Spaeth, Voort, Watkins

Commonwealth v. March

Opinion of the Court

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, *9413 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.

. 1939, June 24, P.L. 872, §524; 1957, July 17, P.L. 972, §1; 1959, Oct. 20, P.L. 1329, §1; 1968, July 31, P.L. 892, No. 269, §1; 18 P.S. §4524; superseded by Act of December 6, 1972, P.L. 1482, §1; 18 Pa.C.S. §5903.
