It's a total travesty. A gross miscarriage of justice. She was pretty well railroaded by a jury that just saw "Porn + Kids" written on a board and instantly came down with GUILTY! BURN THE WITCH!
Nevermind that the images in question were, according to a computer forensics expert, the result of pop-ups. (This was countered by a police officer who explained that you have to click on a link to make it show "visited" -- it's just not true!)
Even if it WERE intentional, most RAPISTS don't get 40 years! Just absurd. Give her 60 days if you MUST jail her, fire her ass, and start paying for upkeep on your porn blocking software. (Yes, that's right, in addition to having Windows 98 PCs with no virus/adware/spyware protection, the school's web nanny software had expired.)
I hope she appeals
