The jury returned the verdict Tuesday against Diverse Industries Inc., Robert Easley of Los Angeles, chief executive officer, and Jacquelyn Hunter of North Hollywood, general manager.
The defendants were accused of mailing pornographic magazines and videocassettes to Minnesota in late 1987 and and early 1988.
