The Julie Group moderates comments, so you may not see them right away. I appreciate you coming and commenting here. I think that by making everything public you are giving everyone an opportunity to learn. What one thing would you change today to make things safer? Hi Jeanne, and welcome to the blog.

I was so pleased to read Julie's web site. We are happy that more people are speaking out about this issue. Through our web site we were hoping to increase public awareness of this growing problem so others would not become victims and go through what we did. The dangers are so real and so close to every American family. People just don't realize how easily one of their loved ones or their whole family could be devastated by an unknown assailant, and the computer sitting in their home could send them to jail and ruin their lives. We did not have to go public with our story—we had nothing to gain, Matt’s case was over ,20/20 was not responsible for the court ruling to delete the sexual probation, our lawyer was. We went public with good intentions and high hopes of helping others. We recognized the injustice of this situation, and realized that not many families could afford to fight the system as we did. In fact, many people have contacted us from across the nation, all in similar situations, struggling to save their loved ones, their homes, and their lives. In addition to our web site and agreeing to appear on 20 /20 we tried to take civil action against the prosecution and Internet Providers (who need to be held accountable as well), only to learn that they all have immunity. They do not have to be held accountable for their actions. YOU are accountable for everything on your computer, even though you have no knowledge of all its contents, or who may be controlling it. We need (we deserve) reasonable laws and reasonable people enforcing the laws --We need (we deserve) a safer Internet. At this point in time prosecutors are prosecuting innocent people for the sake of conviction records and public appearance. Internet Providers only go as far as turning IP numbers over to the police to identify computers which may have possible contraband on it. So the Law, Government Officials, and the Internet Providers can tell the public they are doing their jobs--the public is safe -and YOU, the average American, is in more danger than you can imagine! This is a witch-hunt, how many innocent people are going to be hurt before it is over. I’ve tried to respond to the Julie group web site and comments on it. I don’t think I was successful, I also tried to respond to “Skips” comments on the blog, but I don’t think they made it through(obviously I’m not a geek). I don’t know where he got his information but it was totally inaccurate. His comments and others like him, those who don’t have all the facts or have been told misinformation, these people have hurt our family tremendously. We told the truth on our web site and national television, in hopes of helping others in similar situations. I would appreciate talking to you or someone from Julies group. Thank you for your time.

It took another 5 months before Julie Amero's verdict was overturned and a new trial allowed. My question is, what are the timelines that we can expect governing the prosecutions requesting a new trial, and if they do when it would take place?
