Don't Google "How To Commit Murder" Before Killing
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.
Of course, there are laws telling the insurance companies they can't do this, so instead of healthy people being able to independently get really cheap insurance or a well funded single payer system, we have communal health cost sharing programs that are expensive for healthy people to get into and impossible to get into for those with the mark of sickness.
