Facebook Picture Increases Sentence

Here's a story about a Providence RI drunk driving defendant who had some unfortunate photos posted on Facebook used against him in sentencing. In my civil practice, I am running across more and more twentysomethings who post pictures and blog entries that conflict with their testimony. A savvy attorney will keep an eye out for such evidence, and/or encourage their own clients to remove this sort of thing.
