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.
THE JUSTICE FOR JULIE PETITION REACHED 1,000 SIGNATURES a few days ago, and is now closed. We presume it will be sent on to Chief State's Attorney Kevin Kane, Thomas Griffin, and the various State's Attorneys in Connecticut. Thanks to all who signed.

We're just going to re-post today's blog piece by Karoli Kuns:
Julie Amero: 432 Days, No Resolution. Still
Or, as Rick Green said so well today, Julie Amero is held hostage for 432 days.
I’m waiting for the state to admit that this poor substitute teacher should never have been arrested, tried and convicted. I’m waiting for prosecutors in Norwich to do something: come up with some real evidence and try her — or drop the charges. Amero’s supporters, who include Internet security experts from around the country, have a petition urging Chief State’s Attorney Kevin Kane to drop all charges.
Perhaps the citizens of Norwich should tie yellow ribbons around their trees. It might even be more effective for them to ask their law enforcement officials to focus on real criminals and let the innocent be.
Please
sign the petition. It’s time for Julie Amero to be freed from the chains she’s worn for 432 days.
And thank you, Rick Green, for being a responsible voice for justice.
