Julie Amero, Connecticut school teachers conviction thrown out!

I was happy to read tonight that the guilty conviction against Julie Amero, the Connecticut school teacher originally found guilty of several counts of "risk of injury to a minor" was set aside by the judge today and a new trial ordered.  This is not official word that she is out of the woods on this, but the fact that the district attorney did not oppose the motion is a good indication that they have no plans to retry this case.

For those who don't remember Julie was a substitute teacher who was in a classroom with a computer that had some sort of malware that was causing porno pop ups to keep popping up.  When the students told their parents they complained and she was arrested.  It turned out the schools anti-spyware program was expired and they did a terrible job of security. If anyone the IT administrator should have been on charges. 

Anyway, good to see justice prevail in this case!
