I noticed an interesting story today on slashdot.org.
Police are using evidence of google searches, against a woman being tried for murdering her husband.
34 year old Melanie McGuire is accused of killing her husband by the state of New Jersey. She allegedly shot her husband and disposed of the body by dismembering him and stuffing him into suitcases.
Investigators have found evidence of google and MSN searches done on computers that they have confiscated. The accused has allegedly typed in "How to commit murder", "Instant Poisons", "Undetectable Poisons" and various search terms for gun laws in her browser.
Dailyrecord.com writes that the evidence given by Jennifer Seymour, a police digital unit investigator is the strongest yet in the circumstantial evidence case against McGuire.
