Victim's Blog Leads to Arrest of Murder Suspect

The New York Daily Times reports a chilling tale about a murder victim’s last blog post. In what may have been just minutes after posting to his blog that his sister’s boyfriend was in the house, a New York man and his sister were murdered. The entry led police to arrest the boyfriend for the crime. See CrimLaw blog for a discussion on whether the blog entry might be admissible in court.
