Thankfully, someone that isn't completely ignorant of technology is helping her out and pro-bono to boot.

she has a degree in special ed and she's only a sub? wtf?

I hope it's not too late. Seems like it would be harder to overturn a verdict than to get the right one in the first place.

The ignorance of the adminstrators, police, judge, and jury in this case is astounding.

She might chose to be a sub due to a child at home or other issues.....you never know.

The only thing surprising here to me is that some people are finally getting sick of the media's anti-sex sensationalism and standing up to this. After the fact, unfortunately, but a little is better than none I suppose. I don't expect the mainstream media to get involved though, we wouldn't want the ratings of "To Catch A Predator" to slip.

QFT x 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

This case has struck a note for me that I just can't explain, it pisses me off to NO end what this poor women is going through. How so many people can be so completely retarded is absolutely flabbergasting

All teachers start out as subs. Degree, teaching certificate, sub, then your own class, in that order. A teacher could get stuck as a sub for years if there are not a lot of open full-time positions to filled and a lot of subs waiting in line.

In some cases, cash-strapped districts might keep them on sub status indefinitely because they don't have to cover benefits for them. Of course, after a year as a sub for the same class with no permanent status in sight, hopefully they pack up and move to greener pastures.

I hope she counter-sues everybody and wins a huge settlement.

Has this story been featured on CNN? I can't believe that this happened to her. I think the people of CT should sue the principal and his gang of incompetent fools for making the whole state look stupid. Heck, if Jay Leno or Conan starts cracking jokes on CT'ers, then I'm sure they'll realize what they've done to their image.

(WTNH) _ Prosecutors may be taking a second look at the case of a teacher accused of allowing students to see pornographic images on a classroom computer, according to a published report.

According to the Norwich Bulletin, prosecutors asked the judge to delay the sentencing of Julie Amero, which was to have taken place tomorrow.

Amero was convicted in January of risk of injury to a minor after the images began appearing on the computer. This happened back in October of 2004.

Amero said she didn't do anything wrong, that the images came from pop-up advertisements. Many computer experts came to her defense, saying a forensic examination of the computer should have been done before she was tried.

In asking for the delay Assistant State's Attorney David J. Smith told the judge, "The state has not completed a full examination of all the issues which may affect its position at the sentencing hearing," the Bulletin reported.

This sentencing is now scheduled for May 18.

thank god a compitent lawyer is taking her case. her former lawyer was a POS and should be disbared.

the juror is also a fricken moron.

 

[paulxcook]

The justice system in this country is a joke. I wonder if it's always been like this, or if we just hear more about it now because of the accessibility of information.
