Julie Amero Sentencing

by Karoli on May 17, 2007

Julie Amero was supposed to be sentenced on Friday, but it has been postponed for the fourth time to June 6th, according to the Norwich Bulletin. According to the article, it’s unclear who requested the change, but I can only hope that the continued requests for delays means that her new defense lawyer is working hard to turn this case around.

To read more background on her case, visit the archives.

Update: One item of interest popped out at me from the Norwich Bulletin article — the venue has been changed to New London. The NB speculates that it may be related to the addition of a new judge, but I wonder if there’s another, more optimistic reason.

Actually, this makes sense:

A possible reason for the shift in venue is an upcoming change in assignments for judges, based on introduction of a new judge. Judge Hillary Strackbein, who will be sentencing Amero, will be assigned to duties in New London.

Oh boy.

New London is the Judicial District court, Norwich is a "Geographical Area" court. Normally, this would mean that the charges were serious and were going to be tried in the "big" court.

In this case, I have no idea what it means.
