That's one of the main points in the podcast Serial. It opens with a question like, "do you remember where you were on Tuesday at 4:45 five weeks ago?"
The person accused of the crime was a highschool student on the 90s before smart phones. When they said they were at track practice after school, it then became "can you prove where you were?"
tbh i don't even know how many days ago christmas was.
Somewhat fortunately modern technology solved most of this. It's just a matter of asking the right company to provide proof.
That actually played a part in it as well. Ultimately the kid was convicted because of cell phone location data. Part of the controversy was that an expert for the telephone company didn't testify at the time that the data was inaccurate.
Not saying it would have been different today, but at the time cellphones were so new, and not a lot of people had them, a jury just had to trust what they were told. The way it was presented in the podcast seemed as though it was a very new concept for all, and that they weren't really told how wide of a net the cell phone data pulled in. It was all trusted at face value, resulting in the conviction.
I thought you would say it's solved by technology and then link to the famous dont talk to the police video: https://youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE
