Instagram Evidence & Felony Dismissal

Scott Cummins secured the dismissal of burglary and all felony charges against a young man accused of entering a neighbor's home and stealing electronics.

The case turned on a creative and thorough approach to digital evidence — Instagram posts placing the client elsewhere at the time of the alleged crime proved he was not at the scene. Presented to the prosecutor, that evidence was decisive.

The dismissal spared the client prison time and a felony record that would have followed him for the rest of his life, giving him the clean slate he deserved.
