Supreme Court of Iowa

1Opinion of the Court

McGIVERIN, Chief Justice.

Defendants Dwight Wages and Stephen Edward Kauvar appeal from their convictions of multiple counts of selling pornography. See Iowa Code § 728.4 (1989), as amended, 1989 Iowa Acts ch. 263, § 2. On this appeal, defendants contend that Iowa Code section 728.4 is unconstitutionally vague and overly broad. Defendants also argue that the district court erred by refusing to admit into evidence certain “comparable” materials which defendants claim were available and accepted throughout the community. We affirm.
