Really? You need to be a criminal genius to make the most lazy alibi ever? Obviously these "crimes" (which aren't very specific) weren't too bad because that is a really weak alibi. - eastwood24, on 11/12/2009, -0/+66Brilliant! Pure genius. Now my plan to rob Fort Knox is complete. Oops, I mean where's my pankcakes?
- nmffffd9, on 11/12/2009, -0/+41I'm not saying if the kid was guilty or not, but 19 y/o are not as dumb as some people think
- thezackisback89, on 11/12/2009, -1/+41CALL ME FACEBOOK KID...
- jester55, on 11/13/2009, -1/+31Did he ever get his pancakes?
- 2Deluxe, on 11/12/2009, -0/+23Uh.. i uh.. just.. i. why would you show me that?
- NJSlacker, on 11/13/2009, -0/+22Weak alabi? His parents were eating breakfast with him, and his facebook confirmed that.
What I want to see is the evidence AGAINST him. Looks a lot like "Guilty until proven innocent" to me - iimjpii, on 11/13/2009, -0/+19From the article comments:
"Now, this is a story all about how
My Pancake got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the incocent kid of a town called brooklyn air
Iiiiin Brooklyn/Harlem born and raised
On the Facebook was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' playing Mobsters, updating status all cool
And poking and IMing some homeboys from the school
When a couple of Policeman
Who were up to no good
Startin arresting me right in my neighborhood
I got my right read to me my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'" - Rain12913, on 11/13/2009, -0/+19This seems like it's being sensationalized a bit. FTA:
"A spokesman for Brooklyn's District Attorney said the Facebook update served as the confirmation of the other alibis, namely Rodney's father and stepmother, who declared he was at their Harlem home at the time."
In other words, the facebook update was not his only proof that he was home and would likely not hold up in court if it weren't for his parents' corroboration of his alibi. - bobhopeisgod, on 11/12/2009, -0/+17Sweet. Good thing I have Facebook always running in a tab at home. If I ever murder someone, I'll just call home and have my wife update my status for me. Maybe comment on a pic. Hell, I could just have her digg an article or two for me. "Ignore the blood officer, I was just sitting here surfing the web"
- Surferess, on 11/12/2009, -0/+16That is what my 19 year old keeps telling me!
- thebreach, on 11/13/2009, -1/+17Step 1: Give password to friend
Step 2: Have friend log in as you and post while you are out committing various felonies
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Criminal Genius - marciot, on 11/13/2009, -1/+16Ok, so what they are saying is that now Linux geeks can use the cron daemon to make their own alibis. I bet Hans Reiser would have wished to have known this.
- yeeaauuh, on 11/12/2009, -3/+17Naked bald people with guns
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uifPrJ7VPVU/Svsc9vVHvRI/ ... - rocro, on 11/13/2009, -0/+12Well, your phone records will do you in. Unless you and your wife both have disposable tourist cellphones in case of murder emergencies.
- gvoakes, on 11/12/2009, -0/+11"Sorry officer, the only crime I committed was offending people's eyes at approximately 1:30PM PST."
- noumuon, on 11/13/2009, -2/+12so all i need to do is write a script to update my facebook status at a certain time and go rob a bank. this is too easy...
- Lochie, on 11/13/2009, -0/+10Doesn't everyone?
- Scorpion559, on 11/13/2009, -1/+9What a horrendously written article.
- kakwakas, on 11/13/2009, -0/+8ON THE PHONE WITH THIS FAT CHICK
- JediCorran, on 11/13/2009, -1/+9he got lucky. his next update could've been awkward, post prison: "just got out of jail, ass is sore."
- yeeaauuh, on 11/12/2009, -0/+7FTA: "Personally, I can't wait till we are all monitored by automagical retinal scans, and naked bald people in funky swimming pools decide who is a criminal and who is not."
- diggdiggerid, on 11/13/2009, -0/+7I can't imagine it would be very difficult to write a program that would automatically update your facebook status, make some posts to a forum, digg a couple articles, upload a couple pictures to photobucket, etc periodically over the span of a few hours while you are out for the daily triple homocide.
- RachelJTM, on 11/12/2009, -0/+7The comments under this article are almost better then the article itself
- kakwakas, on 11/13/2009, -0/+7I take it you've never known any Mexicans. His last name is Diaz, by the way.
- spriggig, on 11/13/2009, -0/+6Yes, it's "Where's my pancakes?" in the morning and "Make me a sandwich!" in the afternoon.
- Rain12913, on 11/13/2009, -0/+6Well it's too late now that you're running your mouth about it on the internet.
- ogre2112, on 11/13/2009, -1/+7The jerk store called, they're all out of YOU!
/seinfeld - Hivetyrant, on 11/13/2009, -1/+7That was brilliant.
- GregLoire, on 11/13/2009, -0/+6"That seemingly inconsequential Facebook status update proved crucial when the Californian company confirmed that someone wrote it from his father's Harlem apartment computer"
Sounds like Facebook verified the IP or something. - ChaotikBlu, on 11/13/2009, -1/+6Those attorneys do realize you don't have to be at home to access the internet right?
- theword12, on 11/13/2009, -0/+5Wow what an interesting article. Yep, I'm just here writing a digg comment...in my apartment...which is nowhere near the Bank of America branch...
- lolerskate, on 11/13/2009, -0/+5My eyes! my virgin eyes! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!
- GregLoire, on 11/13/2009, -0/+5He's not naked at all! I feel cheated. :(
- thezackisback89, on 11/12/2009, -0/+5Empirical evidence and infallible logic right there.
- explodingzebras, on 11/13/2009, -0/+4that's two words but i'm diggin u anyway
- saundara, on 11/13/2009, -0/+4they confirmed it was from his father's computer, the one he uses. did you read the article?
- EGOvoruhk, on 11/13/2009, -0/+4WHERES MY I HOP
- sh0rtstop00, on 11/13/2009, -0/+4one word: IP address
- ATL, on 11/13/2009, -1/+5OK, then use VNC or something to access your home machine and set your status, then proceed to kill. This case can be cited for precedence.
WOO BRB
I'ma make my facebook status "out to do some killin" and while I'm killin, I'll set it to "doin' some killin'", and when I get home, I'll set it to "just got back from some killin', lol j/k" - Cole2026, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3"This implies a level of criminal genius that you would not expect from a young boy like this; he is not Dr. Evil."
...... Are you ***** kidding me? Has our society fallen so much into apathy and stupidity that THIS is considered genius? Or is the better question whether our legal system is ***** retarded enough nowadays to accept such an alibi? - inigomntoya, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3It is sad that we are now trusting a social networking site above the testimony of two humans...
- DrummerAndrew, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3That's not exactly what his facebook status said. It said "On the phone with a fat chick... where my pancakes?" Don't give him too much credit here. He types as he speaks. To be fair to the Gizmodo author, "Where's my pancakes" is still grammatically incorrect.
- Skootles, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3wtf is a pankcake?
- WalkThePlank, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3Technically it's three words since IP is an acronym. I'm not going to digg you.
- DonAlfred, on 11/13/2009, -1/+4So without facebook he would've been convicted?
Something is seriously wrong with the US legal system. - Lochie, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3DEUCE BOYZ WHAT UP!!!
- ninewhereman, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3Article says that parents said he was home. Yet they didn't believe him until they brought up the Facebook status? That makes no sense.
- artfiend77, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3Hey man, even the son of the Lord has to pay bills somehow.
- ATL, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3yes fine verify the IP
the defense should have pointed out the MANY MANY ways to do that remotely
VNC, VPN, proxy, etc. etc. etc.... oh but wait he would have to be a criminal genius... -
