Remember Julie? Rick Green, a journalist of high honor, writes about her plight: You would have thought when Superior Court Judge Hillary B. Strackbein tossed out the trumped-up conviction of a substitute teacher last year that the state of Connecticut would have decided to leave Julie Amero alone. Wrong.

Great blog post.
