__NOTOC__ ''Schoolkids Oz'' was No.28 of ''Oz'' magazine. It was the subject of a high-profile obscenity case in the United Kingdom from June 1971 to 5 August 1971,〔See ''The Times'', London, diary of year (December 1971 ); and ITN Source for citations〕 the longest trial under the 1959 Obscene Publications Act. ==The trial== The trial of ''Oz'' editors Richard Neville, Felix Dennis, and Jim Anderson, for No.28, ''Schoolkids Oz'', was conducted at the Old Bailey, under the auspices of Judge Michael Argyle. Of particular significance is the adaptation by Vivian Berger of a Robert Crumb cartoon to include the Rupert Bear cartoon character in an explicitly sexual situation. The defence lawyer was John Mortimer, QC, later the writer of the ''Rumpole of the Bailey'' television series. He was assisted by junior counsel Geoffrey Robertson, later to become a prominent barrister in his own right. The defendants were found guilty and sentenced to up to 15 months imprisonment. This was later quashed on appeal by the lord chief justice Lord Widgery. It was alleged by Geoffrey Robertson that Widgery sent his clerk to Soho one lunchtime to buy £20 worth of the hardest porn he could find. The contents of even the Schoolkids issue of ''Oz'' paled in comparison. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schoolkids Oz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
