Andrew Kantor notes that the Norwich Bulletin appears to be removing content related to Julie Amero. I’ve been able to get to every article I’ve linked to here, so I’m not sure what they may have removed or sent to archives, but I did notice that their search results only yield 2 articles and there is no archives link that I can see — if there’s one on the page, it’s buried.
When this story began to spread and real experts started showing how wrong he was, Norwich Bulletin education beat reporter Dan Axelrod removed his horrendous blog entry comparing anyone who blamed the school district or anyone other than Amero the same as blaming a rape victim. That entry was incredibly ignorant, arrogant, and beyond the pale, but it was his opinion. The only problem is that since he is paid to actually REPORT the news for the newspaper, he’s not supposed to form an opinion without at least investigating the facts, which he obviously never did.
If Kantor is right and content is being removed (particularly editorials written by the newspaper that support the guilty verdict), the Norwich Bulletin is not worthy of being considered a reliable or primary source for anything. Norwich citizens, beware.
Frank Krasicki has some interesting analysis posted of the students’ testimony, including the testimony that the sites were all pornographic, which they were not. Interesting and detailed analysis and reading.
Julie Amero’s sentencing is in 12 days. Experts are working hard on her behalf, and have called for the State Attorney General to intervene. According to Gideon, there’s not much chance of the judge intervening to acquit her, so it will have to go to appeals. It’s really abhorent to me that she has to live with this veil of conviction over her head for so long. There should be a better way to right obvious wrongs.
