Teacher Julie Amero Gets a New Trial

LazloHollyfeld writes "A New London Superior court judge this morning granted a defense request seeking a new trial for Julie Amero, the former Norwich middle school substitute teacher convicted of exposing her middle school students to Internet porn. Acting on a motion by Amero's attorney, William Dow III, Judge Hillary Strackbein placed the case back on a trial list. Amero had faced 40 years on the conviction of four counts of risk of injury to a minor. State prosecutor David Smith confirmed that further forensic examination at the state crime lab of Amero's classroom computer revealed "some erroneous information was presented during the trial. Amero and her defense team claimed she was the victim of pop-up ads — something that was out of her control. Judge Strackbein said because of the possibility of inaccurate facts, Amero was "entitled to a new trial in the interest of justice." After the brief court appearance, a smiling Amero stood next to her attorney. "I feel very comfortable with the decision," Amero said. Dow commended the state for investigating the case further. A new court date has yet to be scheduled. Amero has reentered a not guilty plea."

And you should lose your credibility.

How the fuck can you think about even the smallest possibility of firing someone because of that?
When do you people get it?
PORNO, SEX, FLESH, CREAM PIES and even BUTTHOLE SURFERS Does not harm children..
nor does it harm you or anyone else...

Yes, you can take everything to the extreme.. and sex between two (or even more) human beings or even animals, can be harmful for the involved.. But it does not harm you as the fucking (no pun intended) viewer...
I've never understood these points of view.. and probably never will...

Everyone should be allowed to watch sex.. have lust.. get inspiration and what have we... including children

If you're so afraid of sex.. Can you convince yourself to even breed?

It is also no longer a crime in most countries to have religious beliefs that oppose that of the government. "Most countries" doesn't include countries under Islamic rule or influence. You can forget about freedom of religion or conscience, it's their way or a bullet in the head.
