Here’s a weird alibi that could only exist in the 21st century. This 19 year-old was supposed to go to jail for robbery but was let go when it was found out that he updated his Facebook status at the time.
I’m not saying he didn’t do it, but I’d hate to live in a world where this type of alibi could be used as a premise in a court room. I can’t tell you how many peers of mine use Facebook on the go via their cell phone- obviously it’s possible to be on Facebook while you aren’t home.
As the lawyer states, this status wasn’t the main part of winning the case but rather the “icing on the cake.” For the most part he got off due to his entire family vouching for his innocence.
