TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. April 1 —
A state appeals court Monday struck down Michigan's 105-year-old law
against using vulgar language in front of women and children, throwing out
the conviction of a canoeist who let loose a stream of curses after
falling into the water.
The three-judge panel unanimously overturned the 1999 conviction of
Timothy Joseph Boomer. A jury had found him guilty of violating the law by
swearing repeatedly after tumbling into the Rifle River.
He was fined $75 and ordered to work four days in a child-care program,
but the sentence was put on hold while the case was under appeal.
