A jury found Ramirez not guilty after he produced ATM receipts and cell phone records showing he was miles from the scene when the crime occurred. A judge later made the rare finding that he was "factually innocent."

Great way of getting away with a crime. Hand my ATM and cell phone over to my wife. Tell her to call me at a certain time, when I'm robbing a convenience store and when she's on the phone, ask her to got to the nearest ATM pull $20 for me.

No. They pulled the ATM photo records (you are photographed every time you use the ATM) and had photos of him using the ATM at that time and date.

It was a no brainer after that evidence came forward.

Won't work, sorry. Although the article doesn't mention it, ATMs also film you using them, so they can identify the odd machine theft. Your wife will need a ski mask - and you will need a reason to tell the jury (about why you had to wear a ski mask)...

There are cameras at ATM machines.

Either the phone you gave your wife or the one you borrowed from somebody for her to call you on will put you at the scene of the crime via GPS and/or which cell tower you were connected to.

"ask her to got to the nearest ATM pull $20 for me."

It wouldn't work. ATMs have cameras.
