State of CT vs. Julie Amero - Good News
Posted by Ryan on June 6th, 2007.
Today was sentencing in the Julie Amero case. However, her lawyers filed a motion for a new trial yesterday, and the judge granted the motion today.
The motion, and it being granted, was based on the fact that some of the evidence shown in court was innaccurate…which is no surprise when a company says its product can’t be used to produce the material a witness claims to have gotten from it.
Amero has plead not guilty. No new date has been set for a trial, and I anticipate there being a few pretrial conferences between the judge, the State’s Attorney, and the defense team about the retrial. I can only hope that in the first one they (the judge and SA) realize what a mistake the first trial was, and dismiss the charges.
Note: This was written very quickly (since I was in class) and right after I read about it. As more newspapers update their site, I will be reading those and making a more complete post later.
