Charges dropped and open minds picked up?

Charges dropped and open minds picked up? I was very surprised when I read the article, His FaceBook Status Now? 'Charges Dropped' by Damiano Beltrami. Despite the tremendous change in our society, as far as our dependency on technology, social networking sites didn't seem like a place in courtrooms. Video and audio evidence is seen all the time in court cases. However for sites like FaceBook and Myspace to be brought in is a victory for technology and a very scary thought when it is used against us when applying for a job. For Rodney Bradford it was an excellent alibi but for the rest of us will we be so lucky?
