Ok.  It has been nearly six months, just short of a few days, since my last post.  Things have been hectic for Julie.  It was late on a Friday afternoon, November 21st, 2008 that Julie's agony came to an end.

On that day, almost within the cloak of darkness, her case was closed.  To accomplish this, Julie agreed to a $100 fine, surrendered her teaching license and plead to a single count of disorderly conduct, a major reduction in charges from the 10 counts of risk of injury to a minor with the potential for 100 years in prison; 10 years for each offense.  Her plea was under the "Alfred Doctrine", a Connecticut law which allows an individual to plead to charges without admitting guilt.

At this point I could write forever...however, others have preceded me and I defer to their literary skills.  I suggest that you start by reading Rick Green's column on November 25th, 2008 and then conduct your own search for more detail:

More than likely this will be my last entry here regarding Julie.  You see, I am taking most, if not all, of my blog posts to a new venue sponsored by (ISC)²®, the premier certification body for information security professionals.  If you are interested in Julie Amero or information security, if you prefer computer security, I suggest that you become familiar with this newer forum.  I am familiar with many of the bloggers there and am proud to be in their midst.  You can find the most current entry on their blog at http://blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/.

I suggest that you take the time to examine the categories and well as the biographies of those who are making current posts.  As of January 3rd, 2008 I have made only one post which is a lead in for the professional relative to digital forensics and the Julie Amero case.  I have already started the next article which will likely post sometime next week.  I look forward to seeing you there.  Should you prefer, you can find all of my entries at http://blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/johnston/.
