Social Media Evidence in Criminal Cases: What You Need to Know
Social media evidence can be used both ways in your criminal defense case. You may be able to use documentation from social media either as an alibi or to negate any element of the crime that the prosecutor is seeking to prove. On the other hand, the prosecutor may try to use your own words against you to prove your guilt. Therefore, you need to be extremely careful about what you post on social media when you are facing criminal charges, with silence usually being the best policy. Never do or say anything in your case without consulting with an criminal defense attorney. The criminal defense lawyers at Hogan Eickhoff can help you avoid mistakes that can harm your criminal defense.
