I don't think "profit" is the real issue. Under their supervision the business sold the very same "obscene" products AFTER others were accused of selling items as obscenities. [and I presume after they charge JM with making them].


Why were the titles still on the shelves and sold after the charges were filed?

How can the defendants be expected to "know" that these are obscene when the DoJ seems not to?

Why aren't those responsible for the "bankrupt" business charged as well?

Doesn't this point to the fact that even they can't determine what an "obscenity" is?

Etc.

I'm no lawyer, but these are good questions/arguments to raise to jury - if not to get the case dismissed. All you need is one juror to buy it.
