The Norwich Bulletin sharpened its pencil and spat out yet another pro-state's attorney reminder that Julie Amero -- the substitute teacher who's facing 40 years in jail for getting in the way of a deluge of porn pop-ups -- faces sentencing tomorrow.

Using phrases such as, "the case has come under scrutiny from a group of computer experts determined to prove the pop-ups were out of Amero's control" and, "The case has generated interest outside Connecticut" to completely understate the fact that Amero doesn't deserve the injustice she's been put through.

Trust us Julie, anyone who can tell a USB cable from a garden hose is certain that the state -- if they don't postpone your sentencing again -- will come to its senses and back down from its fool-hearty quest to make you the first person sent to jail for stewarding a PC infested with malware.

In case you've forgotten, as this story has progressed it's only gotten weirder:

• An outspoken juror proved himself functionally computer illiterate which is no big deal, considering the state police's "computer expert" did as well
• The Hartford Current asked if Connecticut was the "Stupidest state in the union" for convicting her
• The Norwich Bulletin published the trial transcript, without acknowledging that nearly everything they'd printed about the case up to that point had been complete and total mischaracterisation.
• USA Today, CNN and The New York Times joined every tech publication you can name in taking Connecticut to task for its miscarriage of justice.
• Loveable curmudgeon John Dvorak used Julie as an example of why the .XXX domain was a good idea
