The Facebook Alibi?

Who needs yo' momma, your girl and Pookie 'n em to cover for you when you're out doing hoodrat stuff anymore?  Now, there's Facebook to cover your dirt.

19 year old Rodney Bradford updated his FB page with the words "where’s my pancakes" back on October 17th at 11:49 am from his dad's apartment in Harlem.  The next day, he got popped by the po-po for robbery.  His quick-thinking defense lawyer said Bradford couldn't have robbed anyone because he was updating his status at the time.

That light bulb moment got the ball rolling and the DA subpoenaed Facebook to verify that the status update had actually been typed from a computer located at that Harlem apartment.

Turns out... it was and Bradford was cleared of charges.

Officials say this may be the first time a FB update was used as an alibi.

Someone will use the FB alibi to cheat on their wife in 3..2......
