Conversely, cell phone records have been ruled inadmissible in court to establish an alibi since such records only establish the device’s whereabouts not its owner’s.
Huh? That doesn't seem very likely. I have seen no ruling establishing such a precedent. Do you have a case or state? I would be interested in reading the judges opinion.
Cellphone evidence may be easily rebutted by either prosecution or defense, but it would be unlikely that a judge would "rule it inadmissible". Its evidentiary value would be something left for the jury to weigh, not the judge, FWIW.
Heh heh, you know there are a LOT of special ops guys over 35 who would take offense at that. :)
they CAN be used when part of a totality of evidence.
they just busted a shooter on the U of M(MN) campus here this week using this method.
