  Posted by Kathy from Security Focus
  What is wrong with America? In Connecticut, a 40 year old substitute teacher is about to be labeled a sex offender and sentenced for up to 40 years in prison for exposing kids to porn ... when it looks like she was the victim of spyware. Add to this the Genarlow Wilson case in Georgia, and we have a country obsessed with punishing alleged sex crimes. Color us Puritan. Read Rasch's take.

Microsoft Windows is a sieve. I wonder if one day she’ll be able to sue Microsoft for damages.

The courts just don’t understand technology – the whole court system, lawyers, juries and sadly often police. The defendant’s attorney as you note also performed poorly.

More on the story from Computer Security Online. Step-by-step details that make me wonder who the heck was this woman’s lawyer.

And if you aren’t familiar with the Genarlow Wilson story, you should be. Read about it.
