she will get off on the charges *a birdy told me*
and a **** ton of work was put into getting the trial dismissed, lots and lots of people from the security researcher realm did a ton of free foresnics work to get things to where they are now. (alex from sunbelt software did all the coordination)

Dont need a JD to figure this one out, yes 40 years was the max penalty for the crimes she was convicted of. Thing is the case got thrown out at sentencing *sigh*.
Now the state has the option of bringing a new trail with the "new evidence" (its not new, the prosecuter decided he didnt like it and had it thrown out on a technicality). It is doubtful that the state will bring another trial to bear as they really dont have a case now that the entire security community (as well as politicans, etc) is watching the case like a bunch of hawks. Hell i wont even mention the lawyers that are watching the case from Julies side as well.
Anyways all said and done "the julie group" did a kick *** job, and I look forward to watching what they do next. (there has been lots of interesting debate on that topic)

wtf?
she doesn't know how to use computers well, it's obvious the students took advantage of her and she gets a guilty?

Substitute teacher spared sentencing for **** pop-ups, gets new trial
By Nate Anderson | Published: June 06, 2007 - 01:39PM CT
Julie Amero, the substitute teacher who could have received 40 years in jail after **** appeared on classroom PCs, was spared that fate—for now. Instead, Amero will get a new trial after revelations that the original computer analysis was flawed.

* Potential pirates, not Vista, get cracked
The backstory in a nutshell: Amero was substituting for an English class. She went to the restroom, and when she returned, students were gathered around a computer that was displaying **** pop-ups. Amero, who describes herself as a total computer novice, couldn't make them stop, and she eventually ran to the teacher's lounge to get help. In court, school officials admitted that the antivirus software installed on the PC was out of date and antispyware programs were not installed. A school official did tell parents, however, that the school district had comprehensive filtering and firewall software in place at the time.
Although it's hard to conjure up a simple explanation for why a substitute teacher would show middle-school students **** pop-ups on purpose, Amero was prosecuted on the ground that she had done this intentionally. She was eventually found guilty and faced the prospect of 40 years in jail because of the incident. A defense witness, who analyzed the computer but was unable to present all of his findings in court, called the case "one of the most frustrating experiences of my career, knowing full well that the person is innocent and not being allowed to provide logical proof." Her sentencing was scheduled for today, but the hearing instead turned into a motion for a new trial, according to the AP.
The computer in question was sent to a Connecticut state laboratory after the original trial finished, and the judge announced today that the lab findings may contradict those presented by the prosecution's computer expert at trial. Amero's lawyers asked for and received a new trial, and the request was not opposed by the prosecution. A date has yet to be set.
For Amero, it's been a long, strange trip, and though she'll have to wade through the details of the case once again in a new trial, today's result will certainly come as more relief than the alternative.

reminds me of the case of this teenager on CNN today. He's from Connecticut, and him and his friends video taped oral sex in a hotel room; with oral sex being illegal in that state...
he was convicted for 10 years, and serving as we speak.
cant remember the guys name, but maybe someone can find the info, its a pretty horrible story jus like that teacher one.

has anybody thought about the possibility that it was the kids that brought up the **** in the first place? and of course they would say they didnt.
now that sounds like a simple explanation to me!
also sounds like Windows 95 with an old version of internet explorer. I could never get those pop-ups to stop back in the day... now we have pop-up blockers

The machine had an outdated av client (one that stoped being developed a few months before this all happened).
It was a major CF
