In the year of 2011, Casey Anthony pleads not guilty for the charges put on her for the murder of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony’s (Casey Anthony Trial, 2011). It all started when Casey’s grandmother had called 911 reporting that her granddaughter was missing and that her daughter’s truck smelled like a dead body (Casey Anthony Trial, 2011). In a long story short Caylee’s skeletal remains were found near Casey’s house and throughout the time Anthony lied repeatedly regarding Caylee’s whereabouts (Casey Anthony Trial, 2011). The truck was found in an abandoned parking lot and towed two weeks earlier and George Anthony which is Casey’s father had said it still smelled like a dead body as well (Casey Anthony Trial, 2011). As the trial went on there were statements made back and forth about who did what and some very detailed observations had begun to rise. Ultimately Casey Anthony was free to go and all the charges had dropped because of lack of evidence. There were many aspects in the computer forensic side of this trial. The first computer forensic evidence that arose from the chaos of the trial was a computer search that had stated Casey was searching on Google about “Chloroform (Casey Anthony Trial, 2011).” Casey had claimed that her pet was eating some plants in the backyard and for the pets health she was searching “chlorophyll” on the home computer (Casey Anthony Trial, 2011). This cause much confusion because at first the evidence had reported Casey searching for chloroform for exactly 84 times by using some forensic software called CacheBack (Alvarez, 2011). CacheBack was built by John Bradley and he had stated that Anthony had search and visited one site one time on the Google search on chloroform (Alvarez, 2011). The website that was only visited once was called scispot.com and that the website offered information on the use of chloroform in the 1800s (Alvarez,
