Phone charging log helps to convict murderer

Shouldn't be to hard to disprove, or in fact rely on this type of expectation that you carry your phone everywhere and there will usable data that can help prove or disprove your case.

All he had to say was that "He got up for a piss in the night, noticed his phone was low on juice and plugged it in".

The more nefarious, could leave their phone at home go and do the deeds, and claim they were home all night as it hasn't been off charge and was connected to the wireless network all the time.

Location of phone and charging status does not equal location of phones owner.

I suspect that there may have been slightly more key evidence than this that convicted him, but it's all good to know.
