NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) — A judge granted a new trial Wednesday for a former substitute teacher convicted of allowing students to view pornography on a classroom computer.
Prosecutors did not oppose the defense motion for a new trial for Julie Amero, 40, who had faced up to 40 years in prison after her January conviction.
The computer was sent to a state laboratory after the trial, and the judge said Wednesday that those findings may contradict evidence presented by the state computer expert.
