Amero Gets a New Trial

Julie Amero's sentencing went a different way yesterday. The judge threw out the conviction and ordered a new trial. The Norwich Bulletin, who has been one of the few voices supporting the prosecution and conviction, cites "newly discovered evidence" which "apparently" contradicts the so-called expert testimony given in the trial. This new evidence has, of course, been around for months or even longer and accepted by just about everyone outside of the prosecutor's office and the Bulletin's office.
