Julie Amero -- I've Been Silent for Too Long!! -- Phase 2
This entry was posted on 2/22/2007 5:21 PM and is filed under Cybercrime,Internet.
I promised in my initial post on the Julie Amero issue that I would update the matter when a couple of articles that I knew were in development became available to the public. Personally, I am very pleased with these articles and what they present to the public. One of them is quite long, 17 pages, but an extremely informative well written read. The other is of similar quality from a totally different, mostly technical perspective. There is no question that both authors see the Julie Amero issue as a travesty of justice as do I. Please reserve yourself a block of time and eliminate the distractions before you approach these articles. They deserve your undivided attention.
The first is a PDF from Windows Secrets, a newsletter that I subscribe to and encourage others to also subscribe. They have a free version which is great and a paid version that is even better. Fortunately, this article, Pop-up ads can land you in jail, appears in the free version. I created a PDF of it so that you can save a copy. If you wish to see the original, here is the link:
The second is the lengthly, 17 page document that I mentioned. I urge you to (1) save a copy and (2) print it out. It is a lot of information to read from a computer screen; at least it is for me.
It is my hope that once you read these articles that you will also be concerned regarding Julie Amero's conviction and what it means for the future should it stand. You can be assured that there are many of us working to ensure that it does not, but the more that support this effort the better. And if you are so inclined, make a donation to Julie so that she and her husband may get out from under the burden of the costs incurred thus far in her defense. There is a site dedicated to her defense and you may make donations there.
Update — Transcript Available Online
The Norwich Bulletin has made the entire transcript available at their website and, it is a good read. Unfortunately, they have broken it into many pieces and most find this format trying at best to download and read. The transcript is now complete. If you downloaded a version from this site prior to 8:00PM EST, 02-27-2006 you should delete that file and download the one below. These do take awhile to download, so be prepared as the file is more than 100MB. Ultimately, all pieces are photographic images of the typed transcript in PDF format. Here are the current files:
