Facebook alibi gets teen out of jail


At the time the armed robbery in Brooklyn happened, Rodney Bradford was 13 miles away at his father's apartment in Harlem. Last month, Rodney was arrested for armed robbery after the victim picked him out of a line-up.The armed robbery happened outside the Farragut Houses in Brooklyn on October 18th. At that exact same time, Rodney was updating his Facebook status on a computer at his dad's apartment in Harlem. That critical piece of evidence, time and date-stamped on Rodney's page, proved crucial to establishing his alibi and getting the charges dropped.

 Rodney's case is believed to be the first in which defense lawyers have used Facebook to establish a person's innocence. Some skeptics point out that this defense is not totally reliable, since someone could, in theory, log onto someone else's Facebook page if they knew their password.

Isn't it odd to you guys how his facebook got updated AT THE EXACT SAME TIME as he was accused?? I think that is just weird...

It's a bit odd for sure, but weirder things have happened. I'm sure this guy is grateful for Facebook these days.

Oh man. Some people used to make fun of me because I so often update my facebook status. Now I know that could work to my benefit if I ever somehow get wrongfully accused of a crime. COOL!!!

Yea, that is true, but I think it is a HUGE coincidence that it was at the exact same time. But, that is just how I look at this case. I am sure he is grateful, but any other person could have updated his page. I don't know, if I were working on this case I would do a little more investigating.
