Re: Teacher could get 40 years because of spyware porn pop-ups
Don't blame the teacher. It could have been a naughty student(s).
More responsible is the school, more specifically the IT stuff for not doing THEIR JOB, which is blocking the network from accessing pornographic pages.
The public prosecutor must be on drugs. 40 years??? Ridiculous.

| Yeah, I should have read the link.
Well, I just finished reading it...and buff! The whole case stinks:
1. The school? (I guess the network) did have content filtering but the license was expired.
2. The Trial Judge, Hillary Strackbein, “was seen falling asleep during proceedings...
3. And made comments to the jury that she wanted the case over by the end of the week...
4. Judge Strackbein attempted to pressure the defense into an unwanted plea deal, in place of a trial...
5. Jurors had discussed the case at a local restaurant.
Bloody funny.
Problem is that the teacher's reputation is in tatters after this.

This should be a wake up call to everyone who works in any place where questionable content could affect your employment status as well as criminal complaints. In any place but your own house (read: your workplace) a string of porn pop-ups could be construed as sexual harassment.

said by Psicop :. . . Problem is that the teacher's reputation is in tatters after this. Nothing that a retrial and an acquittal wouldn't fix though. There are more than enough people around who understand how things like this can happen even though the judge, jury, prosecutor and "investigator" apparently don't. She might consider hiring a better attorney though.
