Obscenity trial for SC woman delayed until Jan.

BONNEAU, S.C. (AP) — The trial of a South Carolina woman who displayed plastic testicles on her pickup truck again has been delayed.

Virginia Tice of Bonneau (bah-NO’) was to stand trial Wednesday in municipal court in the Berkeley County community. Now the trial has been delayed until January.

Tice’s attorney, Scott Bischoff, says at least 30 people need to be summoned as possible jurors for municipal court but only about 20 were called. With strikes for both sides, there were not enough people to sit a jury.

It’s the third time the trial has been delayed. Tice received a $445 ticket last July on a charge she violated the state’s obscene bumper sticker law.

Bonneau Police Chief Franco Fuda wants a jury trial, saying questions of obscenity should be determined by community standards.
