A 17-year-old from Nebraska and her mother are facing criminal charges including performing an illegal abortion and concealing a dead body after police obtained the pair’s private chat history from Facebook, court documents published by Motherboard show.
Yes you can make yourself a prime suspect by talking too much, even if you’re completely innocent. If you don’t have a solid alibi and you “know too much” you’re it.
I think there used to be a lot more railroading of innocent suspects back in the day, but with modern advances in forensic technology that happens greatly less. Still happens though. You know that cliché about every convict saying he’s innocent. After the stuff I’ve seen watching these crime documentaries for years, I start to think maybe half of them are telling the truth.
