Facebook status update provides alibi

[Caitlin.ann]

New York (CNN) -- For 19-year-old Rodney Bradford, a simple Facebook status update turned into much more: a rock-solid alibi after he was accused of a crime.
Confirmation of the time stamp on the update and the location from which it was entered showed he could not have been at the scene of a robbery in another part of New York City. After he had spent almost two weeks in jail, the case against him was dismissed.

Odd. What would have prevented him from planning this, giving someone else his name and password and having them do it for him?

I've been entertaining a similar line of thought.
