She's been convicted and prosecutors admitted that they and police didn't even check the computer for malware.
Her defense didn't even raise the possibility.
This woman's life is so screwed now.
Another topic is this little morsel in the story (anybody surprised?):
"Chances are, these kids had seen porn pop-ups before. Family Safe Media estimates that boys 12 to 17 consume more internet porn than any other group."
knows that this is bogus.... heck - when congress passes a law with teeth, and then there are some very high profile prosecutions and convictions, then and maybe only then will this lunacy stop... or course the woman is innocent.... the stupid pop-ups are everywhere. Sheese.... get real
Ok, maybe it wasn't the teacher, but someone using that computer was surfing porn sites as that is the only way, those "pop-ups" get lodged into the computer's memory via spam and surfing fleas. You have to set your antispam/antivirus settings to filter porn and other nasty toads. Otherwise, it shows lack of judgement on the teacher's part for using a school computer to check out "Debbie does Dallas." If that is the case, he or she deserve to be busted for being STUPID!
And the sites do not sound like anything pornographic. One was eHarmony accessed a month before, then a job search. What really triggered it that morning though was that somebody searched www.hair-styles.org. The expert thought it was a student because the very next one to be accessed was the Crayola website.
It wasn't just pop ups either. It was webpage re-directs.
An expert witness for the defense found all this. However, the prosecution was able to restrict his testimony to just two slides because the defense did not properly notify the prosecution of the witness. That's what the article says.
It was a substitute teacher, btw, so there was no way she had visited eHarmony the month before.
For that teacher, you talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time!
of companies that utilize such agressive marketing tactics... and before you go all "well of course you are a "right wing nut"" cries on me, I also support restriction of Junk Mail - targeted to senior citizens that looks like official mail from the government - when it is mail trying to bilk old folk out of money!
Still gettin Mom's sleezey mail requests... oh, and for the record, most are right wing types !!!
