Mad conviction overturned

According to The Register, the teacher who was convicted (for forty years) for displaying porn to children has been granted a retrial. This trial was completely shambolic (original story) and has been deconstructed in detail here and here. This was a case of people who failed to understand technology combined with a degree of fundamentalism and extreme prudery combining to make a mockery of justice. It just goes to reinforce my view that nobody should be allowed anywhere near a computer without having some sort of basic training first.

Death by a thousand cuts

I wish I had something insightful or witty to say about this case, but I don't, other than shaking my head sadly.
