Conn. Profs urge deeper investigation in porn-pop-up case

We've been watching the case of "porn pop-up teacher" Julie Amero with stunned amazement. Officials from the lowest to highest levels of Connecticut government have managed to choreograph the perfect comedy of errors, leaving Mrs. Amero's career in shambles and her dignity dangling by a thread in the public square.

A group of twenty-eight computer science professors from eight Connecticut Universities have stepped in on Mrs. Amero's behalf, taking out an ad in the Hartford Courant to air "An Open Letter to Chief State's Attorney Kevin T. Kane."

The professors ask State's Attorney Kane to heed a suggestion from Mark Rasch, former chief of the U.S. Department of Justice cyber-crime unit, who says an independent investigator be brought in to look at the case.

Amero is due to be sentenced on March 28th, 2007.
