Text: Insofar as community standards vis a vis national standards contended for by appellant are concerned, this issue has now been settled in favor of contemporary community standards. Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15, 93 S.Ct. 2607, 37 L.Ed.2d 419 (1973); Kaplan v. Cal., 413 U.S. 115, 93 S.Ct. 2680, 37 L.Ed.2d 492 (1973); Austin v. Meyer, opinion June 25, 1973, 413 U.S. 902, 93 S.Ct. 3029, 37 L.Ed.2d 1017, reversing U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida at 319 F. Supp. 457, holding to the contrary. See also Davison v. State, 251 So.2d 841 (Fla. 1971), and United States v. Groner, 479 F.2d 577 (5th Cir.1973). The able trial judge was correct in applying local community standards in the trial which is the standard set forth in § 847.011(11).
