Julie Amero was scheduled to be sentenced Thursday in Norwich Superior Court. However for the third time since March, sentencing has been postponed, now set for May 18, 2007.
The request by Assistant State’s Attorney David J. Smith, who prosecuted the case, was signed by Judge Hillary Strackbein.
“The state has not completed a full examination of all the issues which may affect its position at the sentencing hearing,” was Smith’s written explanation.
You may recall it was reported that the judge, Hillary Strackbein, was seen falling asleep during proceedings and made comments to the jury that she wanted the case over by the end of the week. Rather ironic at this point.
