There’s a court case in England at the moment, the case of the “back from the dead canoeist” (he faked his death to collect the life insurance with his wife). They have both been found guilty and so some of the details of the evidence have been revealed. That includes series of emails between them after his “death” and also spreadsheets they used to plan the fraud. I wonder if they were using gmail and Google Docs and google handed the evidence over…?

Certainly I can recall a case last year I think where someone was convicted of attempted murder of her husband, and one of the pieces of evidence was her internet searches which showed she was researching poisons that couldn’t be detected!

Scary stuff really.
