[LM_NET] Defense files motion in Amero trial

[Nancy Willard <nwillard@CSRIU.ORG>]

Hi folks,

In this tragedy story that never seems to end, the defense has apparently
filed a motion for a new trial

http://www.norwichbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200770605029

The sentencing is scheduled for 10:00 tomorrow morning.

If any of you live in Connecticut, I suggest that you start talking about
how to address life after the Internet. Given what I know the prosecutors
now know for absolute certainty -- Julie's computer had spyware and got into
a porn trap -- none of you should feel safe using a computer in the
classroom. The fact that it appears the state is not willing to vacate the
conviction, it appears that the standard in Connecticut is that teachers
should be arrested if a computer they are responsible for accidentally
accesses porn and they do not do exactly what the prosecutor thinks is the
appropriate response -- even if their response is largely successful.

Nancy
