The court will consider whether the conviction of Robert Stevens for distributing videos depicting dog-fighting under a law aimed at curtailing animal cruelty violated his constitutional right to freedom of speech.
The 1999 law was intended to prevent depictions of animal cruelty, but a federal appeals court found that it restricted Stevens' right to free speech and threw out the conviction.
He argued that the videos were intended to educate people about the pit bull breed and that he was not trying to promote illegal dog-fighting.
The case has prompted debate over the restrictions that the government can place on free speech without falling foul of the First Amendment.
