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

Posted by kdawson on Thursday March 15, 2007 @03:25AM 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.

I didn't realize that Google searches could be traced from their systems backwards to you.
Really, I guess you've not heard of these "EyePee" addresses which I'm told are recorded by the search engine when you use it?
