I remember the case you are talking about. I think this was here in Ohio. This guy was on probation for a sexual offense against a child and his probation office ran across his journal during a routine home check. His attorney unsuccessfully tried to defend him with the "freedom of speech" argument. As a citizen, I can appreciate the freedom of speech argument (although I don't condone his subject matter), but as a parent, I am glad they found the journal and locked him back up. Perhaps that is hypocritical, but if I had to choose a position, I choose the position of a concerned parent.
