Judge refuses to view 'Deep Throat' in obscenity case, allows public screening The passage describes a courtroom dispute over viewing a pornographic film for obscenity purposes. It contains no new allegations, financial flows, or involvement of high‑level officials. The only actors mentioned are a lower‑level judge and local prosecutors, which limits investigative value. Key insights: Judge Alberti demanded to view the film before ruling on an injunction.; Defense counsel refused to watch the film, arguing constitutional grounds.; Judge ultimately declined to block the screening, deeming it non‑obscene under Massachusetts law.
