Only Justice Samuel Alito dissented in the case , and he focused on one of the most disturbing aspects raised in the appeal , the marketing of so-called `` crush '' videos , in which women -- with their faces unseen -- are shown stomping helpless animals such as rabbits to death with spiked-heel shoes or with their bare feet . Justices say selling the videos is an unconstitutional violation of free speech . Court threw out conviction of Robert Stevens who sold videos . Stevens was charged in court with selling depictions of animal cruelty .
