Q - any further info re: the JoAnne Webb case?

by: Ed Tracey

Fri Mar 03, 2006 at 08:28 PM CST

In 2004, I read with interest of the case of Joanne Webb, the Burleson mother-of-3 who was arrested for selling two vibrators to undercover police (who claimed that "their marriage was in trouble"). This was apparently in violation of a law that deemed it OK to sell them if labeled as "novelties" but not honestly.

She was featured on ABC's "Primetime Live" and the local prosecutor later dropped the case. But her attorney BeeAnn Sisemore was determined to have the law brought to the Texas Supreme Court to have it declared unconstitutional.

And then...nothing for a long time. Plus, her own website was taken down. Does anyone have an update as to this case; is it still pending, etc.?
