Amero sentencing may be delayed
Julie Amero’s defense counsel has requested that the March 2nd sentencing be postponed. Attorney John Cocheo has enlisted the help of famed New Haven attorney William Dow to aid in sentencing.
A formal request for a postponement will be submitted to Judge Hillary Strackbein, he said, to allow Dow time to become familiar with the case. He expects a response by next week.
More on this as a motion is actually filed and a decision is issued. As criminal attorneys know, this sort of thing is not normal, but continuances are often requested and granted.
While everyone waits for this to unfold, read this report from the Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use entitled The Julie Amero Tragedy [.pdf] It is pretty in-depth and well researched and written. If I have any quibbles with it, I will post them later.
