Saved by Facebook

A Facebook message saved Rodney Bradford from getting arrested on some robbery charges. He was being charged with the robbery but got off when he proved he was posting a status update far enough away from where the robbery happened.

He posted he wanted some pancakes and the update saved him. I wonder if this is an alibi we will see more of. Social networks can narrow down to where the post was done.

An expert on social media said this is the first they have heard of this as an alibi. My question is what is "an expert of social media"? That sounds like a fun gig.
