Excerpt:

Just when it looked as if the Casey Anthony murder trial was settling into a mundane battle of expert witnesses talking forensics, the accused woman's mother revealed Thursday that she searched for chloroform and other suspicious terms on the family computer.

In her stunning revelation, Cindy Anthony told defense attorney Jose Baez she looked up "chloroform" after searching for information about chlorophyll.

The testimony was a shocker because if the jury believes Cindy Anthony, that would hurt the prosecution's contention that the internet searches constitute premeditation — which bolsters a first-degree murder charge.
