California's violent video-game law for minors is struck down
A federal appeals court Friday struck down a California law that sought to ban the sale or rental of violent video games to minors.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the 2005 law violates minors' rights under the First and 14th amendments to the Constitution. The unanimous ruling by the three-judge panel upholds an earlier ruling in U.S. District Court. The state law was authored by Democratic Sen. Leland Yee of San Francisco, a child psychologist. Yee said he wants Attorney General Jerry Brown to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
