Brown Wins U.S. Supreme Court Review of California's Ban on the Sale of Violent Video Games to Minors
OAKLAND - Following nearly five years of court battles, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed today to grant the request of California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to review a state law prohibiting the sale or rental of violent video games to children. Brown petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the case last year after California's ban was struck down in federal court. The case is expected to be heard by the high court later this year. "It is time to allow California's common-sense law to go into effect and help parents protect their children from violent video games," Brown said.
