The title says "wrongful arrest" which is not accurate, since the police computer says to pick up that person - it's just the arrest of the wrong person. A wrongful arrest is more like an arrest with no warrant and no evidenc

Well, yes and no. The owner is dead, so the phone data is not needed for a trial against the owner. It might be evidence against "co-conspirators" - sadly, we have a vindictive, lawless government now that likes to go after former

No, it's not an urban legend. Commercial properties prune their palm trees regularly to avoid falling coconuts. Though I worry more about jacktrees. Their melons can weigh over 100 pounds!
