This article discusses the case that accused Casey Anthony of the murder of her 2 year old daughter in 2008. The journalist tells of the recent discovery of a Google search on the computer in Anthony's home: "fool-proof suffocation methods." However, back when Anthony was on trial, she was not convicted of murder, but only accused of helping her father cover up the toddler's death. However, this article, though the journalist does not indicate a bias of any kind and is not accusatory, hints that some helpful clues such as this Google search may have led to a different ruling in the courtroom had it been discussed during the trial. The journalist includes the facts that this search was found on a computer within Casey Anthony's home on the Mozilla Firefox browser. When detectives first searched the computers, they only perused Internet Explorer, which was less commonly used in the household. When searching the Firefox browser, the website Myspace was also used, which only Casey Anthony used, not her father. The journalist's inclusion of facts without an obvious bias conveys to the audience that if these discoveries had been pursued farther, there may have been a different outcome, but the journalist does not give his own opinion or blatantly accuse Anthony without the presence of hard, conclusive evidence.
