Talk about wrong
If this poor woman spends even one day in jail, then not only is severe, grave misjustice being done, but it will be seen to be done.
This points yet again to the stupidity, idiocy, and... heck, just use any word you can dream up that indicates total and complete retardedness... of our country's jury system. With all due respect, this case should not even have appeared in court. A professional jury would never, EVER have convicted this woman. No chance in hell. But in our lovely little system, because a bunch of random morons in Stupid County, Connecticut, were called upon to be part of a jury, this substitute teacher is going to spend most of the rest of her life in jail. And for what? not knowing how to fix a spyware-infected computer with an outdated operating system, expired anti-virus software, that was completely unprotected but still connected to the internet and was supposed to be used as a teaching tool?
Without even thinking I can name two people that, in this case, should be better suited to go to jail: the headmaster and the head of the local board of education, both of which are DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for CHOOSING not to pay the license fees for anti-virus and anti-spyware software, not renewing the firewall's filtering subscription, and keeping an operating system that is KNOWN to be insecure and insecurable, DIRECTLY LEADING to the computer in question (and a few others in that school) becoming infected. Of course, they washed their hands off it immediately; it was the teacher's fault, yes, after all she happened to be the one standing in the classroom when the spyware happened to be doing its nasty job.
I can't tell you how enraged I am about this. I truly hope the governor of the state at least has some sense in him and pardons her immediately.
What a bunch of fucking morons, the lot of them - and yes, that includes the bloody parents, the idiot prosecutor who is probably patting himself on the back right about now, and pretty much anyone else involved in this case. And to Ms. Amero - try to stay strong. I don't know how it will get solved, but get solved it will. I just can't imagine otherwise.
