Porn Pop-up teacher sentencing delayed, again


Julie Amero gets a break, but where is this train headed? Convicted porn pop-up teacher Julie Amero's sentencing, which had been due to take place tomorrow, has been postponed once again. The Hartford Courant reports that the state's attorney gave no reason in asking for the delay.

Increasing international press, driven by attention from the blogosphere has put quite a bit of pressure on state officials to step in and intervene. On Sunday we learned that the DA might be backsliding in his relentless pursuit of Julie's head on a pike, and were warned that "things may change" before Thursday, and it looks like they have.

Our best wishes to Julie Amero, and future hope that the state's attorney can find a way out of this mess which doesn't include a criminal record. Thanks to our Download Squad readers who've contacted Connecticut officials and given them a polite (you were polite, weren't you?) piece of their minds. We're not going to stop watching the Amero case by any means, but this is encouraging news.

Also, in case you're keeping score; The Norwich Bulletin is still staying far away from logic and reason. Their side of things in today's developments are a far cry from what's being widely reported. Way to go down with the ship guys. Good Job!
