Miscarriage of justice

I would suggest that she and any one else living in that state MOVE

Yes a totally sorry end to this total fiasco with the prosecutors still not doing the decent thing and dropping the charges completely in a case that should never have gone to trial.

Whilst the felony charges might have been dropped, they just couldn't admit they were wrong.

This afternoon, at an empty Norwich Superior Court, Julie pled to the misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct, in a deal negotiated by her pro-bono attorney, William Dow.

Her fine was a $100 charge, and her Connecticut teaching credentials are revoked (Julie told me she really doesn’t care, that she has no plans ever to teach in that state again).

The Julie Amero forensic analysis

It all started with a blog post, with the next several months being a period of intense work and coordination.  The culmination was the original conviction being overturned. In the end, Julie ended her four–year battle last week with the State of Connecticut in an empty courtroom, pleading to a lesser charge.

At some point, I may find the time to chronicle all the events.  There are all kinds of stories from the time.  I met some wonderful people — some of the most decent, just and hard-working folks I’ve ever met.  It was an extraordinary experience, shadowed only by Julie’s terrible predicament.

But for now, I have something to post: the analysis that our group of security and forensic experts performed of the evidence available (this analysis was then provided to the defense team to aid them in their efforts).   This was all done by these experts on a volunteer basis.  To that group, I am truly thankful for your help.

The document has been kept to only a small group of people until today.  I am now making it available here (pdf).

To some, it may be an interesting read.

Just when you though this story was over...

Mark Lounsbury,  the cop whose wrong evidence convicted Julie is continuing a campaign of anonymous and not so anonymous comments around the web alleging that Julie Amero is guilty. (Her original conviction was of course overturned.)
