While many people post Facebook updates simply to let others know what they’re up to, one man would probably have never guess that his status update would later prove his innocence in a court of law. A New York City teen who was arrested on robbery charges seemed to have no evidence to prove his alibi that he was actually miles away from the scene of the crime when it happened until his lawyer mentioned that he had updated his status at the same time. The court later subpoenaed Facebook for their records and after checking the IP address, found that the teen was indeed where he said he was, no where near the crime scene. Maybe some of us should start posting status updates more frequently.
