If you’re going to kill your husband, perhaps you should perform your Google searches on someone else’s computer. At least, that’s what Melanie McGuire is learning after the contents of her Google searches are being used against her in Court.

In 2004, McGuire allegedly shot her husband and dismembered his body. This week, she’s on trial for murder.

The Court has no fingerprints, blood or DNA evidence yet, but does have a variety of circumstantial evidence including Google searches for “how to commit murder”, “instant poisons,” “undetectable poisons,” “fatal digoxin doses,” and searches on gun laws found on McGuire’s computer.

The moral of the story - what you search for can be used as evidence against you in court.
