Facebook has been playing a helpful role in a legal case my colleague is handling. This woman (Jane) is suing a municipality, school district, business and athletic association for injuries she allegedly sustained to her neck and back. She has a facebook account, in which she gabs and rambles relentlessly, and accepts anybody as a friend. A female friend of my colleague, who doesn't know Jane, got accepted as a friend, and daily monitors Jane's incessant posting. She has already contradicted herself numerous times over activities she claims she is uncaple of performing.

Jane is going to be embarrassed...as will her husband, who filed a suit for loss of consortium, which will be laughed at as Jane has a habit of talking about her sex life.
