Travesty of Justice

It's President's Day and I'm enjoying a relaxing morning off. I came across a blog post this morning at odd time signatures that reports on a very disturbing criminal conviction in Connecticut. A middle-school substitute teacher has been convicted of exposing seventh-grade children to child pornography and is set to be sentenced in March. She is facing up to a forty year prison term.

I spent about an hour this morning reading the details of the case and it is appalling that she was convicted. I encourage everyone to donate to her defense fund at her blog and to contact officials involved to get this overturned and her good name restored.

I have been victimized by malicious ad-ware popups and I know how easy it is to become a victim. This woman is clearly a victim and not a perpertrator of a crime. Why not go after the people who create such malicious pop-ups for prosecution?

Hi Karie,

It really is a travesty of justice, one hopefully reversed with enough voices raised in her defense (and money).

Just one small correction -- my blog name is odd time signatures -- the url is Drums (not guns)NWhistlesdotcom. :)

Thanks again for your comment!

Thanks Karoli for the correction. I corrected it in the text. And thanks for blogging about such an important issue and miscarriage of justice. I hope and pray that this will end in a victory for this poor woman and her family.
