Re: Another legal kafuffle showing serious lack of perspective
40 years is absurd (and would make her wish she had taken up a life of killing and kidnapping people in Germany instead), but I'm going to wait until the actual sentencing takes place before getting mad.
As Xiahou pointed out - it isn't that hard to turn off a computer screen, is it?

Re: Another legal kafuffle showing serious lack of perspective
As a side note, I have seen/met many people whose mentality with respect to computers, or other similarly complicated modern appliances (receivers, amplifiers, etc), was "No, you do it, I don't know how to work that thing", and they would literally not touch it because "they didn't know how to use it". I've also seen slightly more knowledgeable people, who, while able to click around and start their browser, the moment they are supposed to do something else, that they've never done before, suddenly turn into dummies, and have no clue about it.
In either case, since she IS a teacher, she should have been even more knowledgeable about the whole thing, than just shutting off a monitor. Otherwise she shouldn't have been permitted to use the damn thing.
Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.

I guess this is an extreme example of what can happen when one puts their fate in the hands of a jury, as opposed to a trial before a jurist. Hopefully the judge will impose a more reasonable sentence.
