Bank robbery suspect wants NSA phone records for his defense
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, June 13 2013 @ 09:18 AM EDT
He's wanting to show that he was "actively using the phone" at the
time.

It's a stronger alibi than just the person he was calling maybe sorta
remembering the time.

Bank robbery suspect wants NSA phone records for his defense
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, June 13 2013 @ 09:58 AM EDT
The defense doesn't have to prove innocence, it simply needs to raise reasonable
doubts in the mind of the jury. Cell phone records, particularly location data,
might be able to raise reasonable doubt, then again, they might not. However,
the prosecution has a duty to turn over all records that may help the defense to
the defense. The government is prosecuting, thus it has a duty to turn over the
phone records to the defense. The government claimed that it has no such
records, now it seems that it does.

The prosecution often makes up a 'story' of the events in a criminal case, if
they involved his cell phone, and his cell phone wasn't their, this could hurt
their case a lot. Or at least that's my understanding of it, IANAL.
