§ 11-6-7 EVIDENCE OF OBSCENITY.
   (A)   Expert testimony or other ancillary evidence is not required to determine obscenity if the allegedly obscene item has been placed in evidence. The matter itself is the best evidence of what it represents.
   (B)   The fact that other sexually explicit items are distributed in the local community is not admissible as evidence of the local contemporary community standard unless it is shown that:
      (1)   Such other item is similar to the item at issue. Similarity shall be measured by the degree of sexual explicitness and type of sexual conduct or activity depicted. It must also be in a similar medium as the item at issue; and
      (2)   Such other item enjoys a reasonable degree of community acceptance.
('74 Code, § 12-9-8) (Ord. 65-1988)
