State attorney releases Casey Anthony's computer search terms to media.
Surprised they would release these publicly. However, it sounds pretty bad. These computer documents are from March. If they had this info why was she released at all? This is such an odd case, and so tragic in every way. If I were on the jury and had to be fair....how could I be after already reading all this in the media.

Internet searches for "neck breaking" and "household weapons"

ORLANDO |Someone performed Internet searches for "neck breaking" and "household weapons" on the home computer of a Florida mother charged with killing her missing 3-year-old daughter, according to court documents released Wednesday.

The Orange County State Attorney's Office released almost 800 pages of discovery documents in the case of Casey Anthony, 22, who has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other charges in the June disappearance of her daughter Caylee.

On March 17, someone used the Anthonys' home computer to do Google searches for peroxide, shovels, acetone, alcohol and how to make chloroform. Traces of chloroform, which is used to induce unconsciousness, were found in the trunk of Casey Anthony's car during forensic testing by a Tennessee lab.


The judge denied a gag order.

Todd Black, a spokesman for Casey Anthony's lawyer Jose Baez, said the standard procedure for defense lawyers was to review discovery documents for a few days before commenting.

Later Wednesday, Circuit Judge Stan Strickland denied a prosecutor's request for a wide-ranging gag order. Strickland ruled the state did not prove that national TV appearances by Baez and other comments in the media would sufficiently prejudice the jury pool.
