SUSPECT GOOGLES "HOW DO FUGITIVES ESCAPE"

At a Tuesday hearing in State Supreme Court on Long Island, New York, Sean Ludwick was remanded to jail with no possibility of bail. Ludwick, a real estate developer, faces up to 32 years in prison, accused of drunkenly crashing his Porsche after a night of drinking last August, leaving his friend, Paul Hansen, to die on the side of the road. He was arrested last week after attempting to buy a boat in Puerto Rico to take him to South America. At the bail hearing on Tuesday, officials produced a list of Google searches Ludwick had made immediately following his arraignment on January 4th. They included, but were not limited to:
– “10 secrets to being a good liar”
– “Percentage of bail jumpers caught”
– “Does Venezuela extradite to the U.S.?”
– “Can I leave on a cruise with an arrest warrant?”
– “5 countries with no extradition”
– “Why do fugitives get caught”
– “How do fugitives escape”
– “Seeking citizenship in Venezuela”
As it turned out, the sailing instructor Ludwick contacted to teach him how to actually use the boat was an FBI agent.
* He should have Googled: “How to spot the Feds.”
* Now he needs to Google:
– “Believable alibis”
– “Really, really good lawyers”
– “How to plead insanity”
– “What to pack for prison”
– “How to please your man”
– “What to trade for cigarettes – and what not to”
– “How to escape from prison”
* What he REALLY needs to Google is “How to grow a backbone.”
* At least it’ll make a good storyline for “American Crime.”
* Let’s not jump to conclusions based on a few google searches – otherwise we’re all in trouble.
* For example, I may visit a site with orgies but that doesn’t mean I want to participate.
* Okay, let me rethink that example a little.
* What scares me is when the computer says, “Here are some sites we recommend just for you” and they’re all way out there.
