BALDWIN, C. J., KING, MURPHY, SHEA and ALCORN, JS.

BALDWIN, C. J.

This is an appeal from a conviction on each of two counts for the violation of Connecticut's antiobscenity statute. General Statutes § 53-243.1 The defendant raises three basic claims: (1) § 53-243 is unconstitutional for lack of any explicit scienter requirement; (2) there was no evidence of scienter on his part; and (3) the magazines for the possession of which he has been convicted were not obscene.
