Computers as weapons

Chuck McManis wrote: I know somebody who killed someone. Not with a gun, either. He didn't and doesn't feel it was reasonable at all. Just unavoidable. I have reason to believe critical evidence was withheld or destroyed, but at any rate, the jury didn't agree, and he's serving a life sentence for murder. It could have been at lot worse. A trial would matter little to a dead man. I'm going to suggest that this is an unproductive thread that will generate a lot more heat than light. There's nothing much that can be said one way or the other on this subject that isn't going to be inflammatory to many. There are better places for this. Trying to get in something at least a little on-topic, I've heard of people being killed accidently by industrial robots and such, or the prospect of the imminent demise of hospital patients due to script kiddies screwing around with medical records databases or life support equipment, but does anyone know of an instance where a computer was used to kill someone? Including military or intelligence cases? jbdigriz
