Court Requires That Vulgar Criticism of Mayor Be Obscured, but Eventually Changes Course

From a press release by Daniel A. Horwitz (Horwitz Law, PLLC), who prevailed in the case; I've worked with him before and generally quite trust his work (plus I looked through the source material myself as well):

Following a multi-month prior restraint that forbade local citizen Glenn Whiting and his affiliated entity Liberty Property Services from displaying the message "Mayor Larry Eaton tells citizen FUCK you after Court said city violated law," District Attorney Stephen Hatchett's obscenity lawsuit against Liberty Property Services must be dismissed, McMinn County Circuit Court Judge J. Michael Sharp has ruled. A copy of the Circuit Court's dismissal order is accessible here: https://horwitz.law/wp-content/uploads/Order-Regarding-Motion-to-Dismiss.pdf.
