Don't Google "How To Commit Murder" Before Killing

Posted by kdawson on from the gods-themselves-contend-in-vain dept.

An anonymous reader alerts us to a murder trial in New Jersey in which Google and MSN searches were used against a woman accused of killing her husband. In the days before the murder, prosecutors say the defendant searched for "How To Commit Murder," "instant poisons," "undetectable poisons," "fatal digoxin doses," and gun laws in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Her husband was killed with a gun procured in Pennsylvania. The crime occurred in 2004; of course, people now know to be careful about their searches.

    if my wife gets murdered, will it make me a suspect if I've googled for "ReiserFS"?

    As a regular watcher of "Law and Order" and "CSI: Miami", I can assure you that the law does not work that way.

    Or better yet, try Googling for "how NOT to shoot someone". That will throw the cops off your tracks.
