NYCC: Gordon Lee case is dismissed

At a benefit reading for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, writer Neil Gaiman surprised the crowd with news that a Georgia judge has  dismissed the criminal case against retailer Gordon Lee. Lee had been charged with distributing materials harmful to a minor and local prosecutors aggressively pressed the case against him, and had promised to proceed with the case despite a mistrial. The judge's dismissal ends the case against Lee. The fund, which defended Lee, reportedly spent more than $100,000 on the case.
