Conn. Profs urge deeper investigation in porn-pop-up case


We've been watching the case of "porn pop-up teacher" Julie Amero with stunned amazement. Officials from the lowest to highest levels of Connecticut government have managed to choreograph the perfect comedy of errors, leaving Mrs. Amero's career in shambles and her dignity dangling by a thread in the public square.

Amero is due to be sentenced on March 28th, 2007.
