When prosecutors are idiots.

Sometimes, prosecuting attorneys are so fired up they refuse to see the facts of a case and send an innocent person to jail. Thank god this story finally has a happy ending:

Two things that really got me angry:

Superior Court Judge Hillary Strackbein granted Amero’s motion for a retrial Wednesday after determining that a Norwich police detective who was called as an expert prosecution witness had given “erroneous” testimony about the computer.

A date for her new trial has not been set, but prosecutors did not oppose the ruling, meaning Amero is unlikely to face any further prosecution, NBC affiliate WVIT-TV of Hartford reported.

Assistant State’s Attorney David Smith acknowledged Wednesday that erroneous information about the computer was presented during trial. He said the errors came to light when prosecutors sent the computer to a state laboratory for examination after the trial.

Since when is a police detective a "spyware/adware expert?" And since WHEN does the prosecution send evidence to be examined AFTER the trial? I hope this lady counter-sues the state and the Norwich police for mental anguish and suffering. Seriously.
