A Word About Our Blog Entries
The Julie Group shares a professional interest in the area of digital and emerging technology and law. As professionals there is a rich and deep appreciation for the differences of opinion that can appear in this space. You must never assume that opinion, where it is introduced is universally shared and endorsed by all our volunteers. Nor are they necessarily the very best snapshot of a given issue.
Readers are expected to think about the issues, question everything worth discussing, and add value to the conversation by correcting what's here or broadening the understanding of the subject. This is part of the educational process between us all. Our hope is that this exercise results in better law, law enforcement, and citizen participation in forging sophisticated social understandings of the technological forces changing our lives.

Noted security exert Alex Eckelberry and Hartford Courant Columnist Rick Green report that Julie Amero's case is still on the trial docket in Connecticut. Details are here and here. It is disappointing that 13 months after it was conclusively proved that Julie was the victim of adware and spyware, and 13 months after she was granted a new trial on this basis, the case still drags on. But the best and most optimistic scenario is that her legal team is negotiating with the State as you read this. (We don't actually know, in fact we are as much in the dark as you.) But if this scenario is correct, things may be in a delicate state right now. So we would ask bloggers to be extremely restrained in their comments. In other words, if you must blog, please follow the sage advice, "Don't PO the prosecutor, don't PO the judge."
