Any of my clients can tell you that one of the first questions I ask after they've hired me is:
"Do you have a Myspace or Facebook page, or anything on Youtube, or any emails or texts that will incriminate or help you?" This goes both ways. I have seen a number of witnesses completely discredited on the witness stand when confronted with their Myspace pages, or emails, or text messages.
This recent article from Fox News basically sums up why I ask that question. The man videotaped himself and his buddies beating up and robbing another man outside of a bar. As if this wasn't bad enough, he then POSTED it on YouTube , and went back to the bar the following night to BRAG about his YOUTUBE posting. Needless to say he was arrested.
You Tube says to "broadcast yourself" - I don't think this is what they had in mind.
What better evidence do the police need?
