 AP Neil Entwistle listens during his trial hearing at Middlesex County Superior Court in Woburn, Mass. WOBURN, Mass. — A police detective was testifying again Wednesday about what he found during a search of Neil Entwistle's laptop computer. Medford police Detective Lawrence James, a computer expert, testified in court Tuesday that a laptop computer taken from the home of the British man accused of killing his wife and 9-month-old daughter was used to search online on "how to kill with a knife" four days before the slayings. James said the Google search was done on January 16, 2006. Entwistle has pleaded not guilty to murder charges stemming from the killing of his 27-year-old wife, Rachel, and their daughter, Lillian Rose, in their rented Hopkinton home on Jan. 20, 2006. Click here for photos. The 29-year-old Entwistle told police he returned home from shopping to find the victims dead in a bed in the master bedroom. Prosecutors, however, sought to indicate that Entwistle was planning to kill his wife and child, saying that the suspect researched methods of murder and suicide in the James is expected to continue his testimony about Entwistle's computer use Wednesday. Judge Diane Kottmyer ruled Tuesday that prosecutors will be allowed to present evidence that the suspect trolled the Internet looking for sex in the days before the slayings. James is expected to testify that Entwistle allegedly looked for local escort services, using search terms that included "half-priced escorts." The prosecution witness is also expected to claim that the suspect joined a Web group called "Adult Friend Finder," where he exchanged e-mails with women saying he was looking for a "discreet" sexual relationship. In earlier testimony Tuesday, two of Entwistle's friends said he gave them conflicting accounts of his actions after the slayings that also contradict what he told police. Both said Entwistle told them he called police to report finding the bodies before he returned home to his native England the day after the killings. Prosecutors have said Entwistle fled to England and never called police. Benjamin Pryor, who attended the University of York with Entwistle, said the suspect told him that he discovered the bodies of his wife and daughter, then drove to her parents' home in Carver to get a gun to kill himself, but couldn't go through with it. Pryor said Entwistle told him he was unable to get into the house, and eventually found his mother-in-law, told her the news, then grieved with his wife's family and called state police to report the killings. Pryor said Entwistle told him he then flew to England because he felt "isolated" and wanted to grieve with his own parents. Another friend, Dashiel Munding, said Entwistle called him in early February 2006 and asked him if he could stay with him for a few days in London because the media had camped out at his parents' home in Worksop. Munding said that during the stay, Entwistle told him he had found his wife and daughter dead after going out shopping. The witness said Entwistle told him he went to his mother-in-law's office to tell her, and called police from there. A chemist also testified Tuesday that Entwistle's DNA was found on the handle of the .22-caliber handgun used in the shootings, while his wife's DNA was found on the muzzle. Prosecutors say Entwistle stole his father-in-law's gun from his home in Carver, used it to kill his wife and daughter at their home in Hopkinton, then returned the gun. Entwistle's father-in-law, Joseph Matterazzo, had testified that Neil Entwistle handled his guns when they went target practicing in the months before the killings.

the defense is attempting to imply that Rachel killed the baby and herself. oddly enough she was shot twice, and the gun was not at the scene. good thing this isn't a California jury.

10 AM monday, the prosecution rested its case, and i am surprised the defense also rested without putting on one witness.  i knew entwistle wouldn't take the stand, but the defense had intimated that Rachel had killed the baby and then herself...they should have put on 'experts' in suicide. it should go to jury very soon, after closing arguments.

The defense has to put on a case, but if they put any experts on the stand to try and say the woman could've killed herself, I doubt they'd escape a perjury charge. (For one thing, who shoots himself/herself in the chest and then in the head?! If you're trying to kill yourself, you go for the head shot.

the defense can ALWAYS find someone to agree their theory is possible. that's not perjury. their job is to create even a modicum of reasonable doubt. it makes me wonder if they are resigned to his fate, and then he will base an appeal on ineffective counsel. some character witnesses. anything! it's really a shocker. closings in half an hour.

You know more about this stuff than I do, but I don't see how an "expert" can argue that it's even possible that someone killed themselves that way. It doesn't make any sense. Isn't perjury saying something under oath you know not to be true?  If you're qualified as an "expert", and then that kind of nonsense comes out of your mouth, how could you not know you're lying?I agree, though, that they should've called character witnesses. They could've at least tried something to soften the blow.

those fools at tru-tv (court tv) went off live coverage 3 minutes before verdict! the producers ought to be whipped. i am glad my local stations covered it. neil's mother came out after verdict, and said she knows Rachel killed her baby. there is a LOT of anger up here at her comments.

no surprise here of course. but he is NOT going to like the amenities at cedar junction (walpole). it's an old max security prison. i am wondering if he will be placed on a suicide watch at the beginning, until they classify him. i can just see the typical max end thug when confronted with English-accented pretty boy.  linkAP A day after being convicted of the 'reprehensible, shameful' murders of his wife and baby, judge sentences Neil Entwistle to life in prison without parole

a great Howie Carr piece...right on point: links Neil Entwistle’s in for the time of his natural life He will of course join the Lifers Club. Maybe not immediately, of course, because it will take Neil Entwistle a while to work his way...
