Your welcome. I have been following this case and hoping the powers that be come to their senses. She is never going to be able to get past the stigmatizaton of the ordeal though. Her career is ruined and they need to compensate her for that.

Here is a person who claims Julie has a history of being put in less than desirable positions by this same school.

It's also posted on the Digg thread which is now at 2063!
Oh, I think that the email addy for the principal has a typo. One person is reporting on Digg that her emails are bouncing back. I did a closer look and Norwich is misspelled in the domain name of the address.

You ask me, this poor woman has been made a scapegoat. Education system here, well at least in my sons school, has a fantastic firewall etc., so they can access nothing they should not. Maybe it's about time America did something like this?
No offence to the American contingent on here, but if the UK Education System can ban access to Certain Sites, why can't America?

Based on what I just read (especially the link to Horner's blog), all it would have taken to prevent this whole tragic episode was one tech-savvy person to disable active scripting in IE's Internet zone, and then hide that zone--and maybe all of them--the same way the My Computer zone is hidden to keep the casual user from changing it.
But of course, Microsoft simply must allow everyone in the world to run unknown script code in IE by default (what, exactly, was the "customer demand" for this "feature", I ask to know?).
I think there's a lesson there for all of us

Mark,
Please don't turn this tragedy into an anti-Microsoft platform.

I agree with Sandi on this,No Anti microsoft Ranting please the Xp OS is everywhere and we can hardly stop it now ,
From what i have just read this seems to have been a Kids prank gone wrong,
On the whole this comes as no Surprise if true as Studets Have been Messing with Computers since they were Invented ...

"A kids prank gone well" that has pretty much destroyed a woman's life, and her family's lives.
And yet, the blogger who revealed the alleged email admitting that the PC was infected on the day by kids deliberately going to a site and doing all they can to infect the system with malware that would generate porn, changes names to protect the not-so-innocent.
We have barely a week or so until sentencing...

Sandi,
> Please don't turn this tragedy into an anti-Microsoft platform.
Have I?
If the facts...
- the factory-default setting for IE's Internet zone is Medium;
- Medium includes active scripting Enabled, which means everyone in the world is permitted to run unknown script code, either benign or malicious, in the browser;
- Microsoft chose and still choose to surround the subject of raising their non-secure factory-default security settings with FUD about "higher security settings can impair functionality";
- Microsoft also chose and still choose to limit their factory-default securing of IE--which BTW conclusively proves that they do know how to do it, thereby removing ignorance as an excuse--to only certain of their products, for no adequately-explained reason;
- Microsoft have the technical ability to push-out a registry file similar to that in ESC to all supported Windows computers via Automatic Updates, but to date have not done so despite their public claims of new-found concern for end-users' security;
...turn out to be "anti-Microsoft" (whatever that means), then that's not my doing. I did not invent this policy-decision-created vulnerability in IE; I merely report it, and point out its probable relevance to this tragic case.

(continued...)
> the PC was infected on the day by kids deliberately going to a site and doing all they can to infect the system with malware that would generate porn,
..."all they can" being generously enabled by the fact that IE's factory-default security settings have been vulnerable as shipped for nine years, and still are. Kids may have changed some IE security settings from their defaults, but so far there's no evidence of that; if some comes to light, then the questions will be "What were they changed to?" and "Is that relevant; i.e., would these porn pop-ups have happened through IE anyway even with the defaults?".
If Mr. Horner's account may be relied upon, it appears not to be pre-existing malware that caused all the porn pop-ups, but rather the malicious script, which got run automatically by the evidently-non-secured browser as soon as somebody surfed to that page, and which certainly could have loaded further malware during the pop-up cascade. But even if it was, then how did the pre-existing malware get loaded in the first place? What was the infection vector? If the vector turns out to have been IE, what then?
MG,
> I agree with Sandi on this,No Anti microsoft Ranting please
I stated a fact (Microsoft's policy decision allows all scripts to run by default), and asked a relevant question (based on Microsoft's own numerous public statements alleging merely responding to customer demand as their motivation). So what was the "rant"?
> the Xp OS is everywhere and we can hardly stop it now ,
"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em"? This isn't about stopping it, this is about correctly identifying its defects (e.g., a non-secured browser) and then fixing them, in order to avoid future tragedies like this one.

Occasionally, this somewhat computer literate but non-tech staunch supporter of Julie Amero stumbles upon a more tech-oriented site like this one in his search for more information about this miscarriage of justice. I always gain a little more technical insight when I do. Of course, the technical aspects of this case cannot be divorced from the heartwrenching emotion of it. Indeed, the competent defense tech expert, Herb Horner, whose full testimony was not allowed, went home and cried after the conviction. By his use of the words "tragic" and "tragedy" in his presentation of some tech info, it seems that Mr. Odell recognizes both the tech aspects and the emotional part. I have no problem with his post. I learned something from it. At the same time I was comforted to see yet another person recognize this unfortunate event for the tragedy that it is.
