Thanks for the tip on that!

I personally would love to read them to at least get an understanding how six people in under 2 hours could find her guilty. To me it sounds like either her defense was asleep at the wheel or another case of a clueless public. Seeing as how prevalent security issues are for the home user on Windows and how little the majority do to address them I’ll go with the latter.

I’m a reporter working on a story about the Amero case. I just got off the phone with her lawyer’s secretary. You can get the transcripts, but you have to order them through the court reporter’s office at the courthouse where the trial occurred. Amero was tried in Norwich Superior Court.

I’ve been reading about this case for an hour or so. What I’d really like to read is a transcript of the trial, but it doesn’t seem to be on the web. Is this so local to you, James, that you could get a transcript? Of course with the new baby (congrats again) I wouldn’t want to ask you to go traipsing all over CT, but if you know someone who might be willing to do some copying from the public record…

The sad thing is that as a substitute she doesn’t have the protection of the teacher’s union, so she’ll have to liquidate all her assets or do without an appeal–if I understand correctly (ianal).
