  Osborne v. Ohio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
The court also found that the statute is not unconstitutionally overbroad, since, in light of its specific exceptions, it must be read as only applying to depictions of nudity involving a lewd exhibition or graphic focus on the minor's genitals, and since scienter is an essential element of the offense.
In rejecting Osborne's contention that the trial court erred in not requiring the government to prove lewd exhibition and scienter as elements of his crime, the court emphasized that he had not objected to the jury instructions given at his trial, and stated that the failures of proof did not amount to plain error.
Nevertheless, due process requires that Osborne's conviction be reversed and the case remanded for a new trial, since it is unclear whether the conviction was based on a finding that the State had proved each of the elements of the offense.

 Osborne effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its origin is a purported suicidal marketing mistake made by the Osborne Computer Corporation in the 1980s when its announcement of a successor to its Osborne 1 system led to a sharp reduction in sales and the delay of the successor system created a revenue vacuum from which the company did not recover.
Pre-announcing products in a way which incurs the Osborne effect is an example of a self-defeating prophecy (as opposed to a self-fulfilling prophecy), as the announcement of the new product is ultimately responsible for its own abandonment.
Purportedly, the new Executive model from Osborne Computer was priced at $2,195 and came with a 7-inch (179 mm) screen, while competitor Kaypro produced a computer with a 9-inch (229 mm) screen for $400 less.
