dissenting opinions
heller appealed this ruling to the supreme court, claiming that his first amendment rights had been violated due to the broad nature of new york’s obscenity laws. the defendant also claimed that his 14th amendment rights had been violated due to the fact the film was seized prior to him receiving a hearing of any kind. the supreme court ruled in favor of heller in a 5-4 decision, with the majority decision delivered by justice burger. the court found the procedure by which the film was seized to be constitutional, but ruled in favor of heller in order to afford new york a chance to bring their obscenity laws in line with the guidelines established by the supreme court in miller v. california. the dissenting opinions were written by justice douglas as well as justice brennan, the latter of which was joined by justice stewart and justice marshall. these dissenting opinions argued that the obscenity laws that heller was convicted under were themselves unconstitutional and thus the seizure of the film was unconstitutional. this case was one of several cases that the burger court ruled on concerning obscenity laws in the early 1970s.
