So Just Perhaps Your United States Telephone Records Are Retained Infinitly?

An Illinois prosecutor announced Friday that a Seattle man was wrongly convicted in 2012 of the abduction and murder of a 7-year-old girl in 1957, reports the Seattle Times.

 It was believed to be the nation's oldest cold case, but reader Trachman raises an interesting concern:

 He finally got an an alibi, which was a telephone call which he made in 1957. 

While it surely is a good thing that an innocence has been proven, the case is also an evidence that American's communication records are retained infinitely.

As always, "Evidence demands a verdict."
