by In January, a jury in Connecticut found substitute teacher Julie Amero guilty of four felony charges of "risking injury to a minor or impairing the morals of a child" due to a 2004 incident in which her classroom PC became infected with pornographic pop-ups. Today, however, an upper judge effectively hit the reset button on the trial, claiming "information discovered after her conviction has direct bearing on whether she is responsible for risking harm to her students when pornographic pop-ups appeared on a classroom computer." Such information likely includes a pro bono complete forensic analysis of Amero's classroom PC, which was performed by a group of independent security researchers and delivered to the defense attorneys in April. The results of the study, however, will not be released until any potential new trial concludes.

what a bizzare story. and what a huge waste of time and money for the Connecticut legal system, PD, etc.
guy i knew in college got an assload of hours (west point punishment marching) when spyware on his computer was pinging a porn site all day. obviously it wasn't him doing it: the goldcoats (west point internet fascists) even had a server log showing that some of the sites had been pinged every minute for as long as ninety six hours... i suppose there's sort of a joke there, but it really was the spyware doing it--i'd seen the guy go to class, etc. didn't matter--goldcoats came to our TAC (regular army officer who babysits a company of cadets) and said tony had been looking at porn for four days, tony got hours. pretty dumb.
...just got an idea for a coffee shop discussion.
