Sentencing for Julie Amero Postponed Again

Via norwichbulletin.com -

NORWICH — Sentencing was postponed today for Julie Amero, the former substitute teacher convicted of exposing seventh-grade students at Kelly Middle School in Norwich to pornographic images on her classroom computer.

Originally scheduled for Friday in Norwich Superior Court, sentencing is now set for June 6 in New London Superior Court. It is unclear at this time at who requested the postponement.

Amero faces a maximum of 40 years in prison based on her conviction in January on four counts of risk of injury to a minor.

A possible reason for the shift in venue is an upcoming change in assignments for judges, based on introduction of a new judge. Judge Hillary Strackbein, who will be sentencing Amero, will be assigned to duties in New London.
