Julie Amero Sentencing Pushed Back to Mid-May

Dan Kaplan writes on SC Magazine Online:

The scheduled sentencing for Julie Amero, the former Connecticut middle school teacher found guilty of exposing her students to internet pornography pop-ups, was pushed back again today - this time to May 18.

The 40-year-old woman faces up to 40 years in prison, a decade for each count of risk of injury to a minor for which she was convicted. Her sentencing had been scheduled for Thursday, following another postponement.

Officials at the Norwich Superior Court did not immediately say why the sentencing was postponed or who requested the delay, according to a report today in the Norwich Bulletin.

The information security community is keeping a close eye on the Amero proceedings after many have claimed the woman was a victim of spyware and an undereducated judicial system.
