Social networks and… the law?

In a story published by the New York Times, writer Damiano Beltrami hits on the idea that “with more people revealing the details of their lives online, sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are providing evidence in legal battles.”
The story, “I’m Innocent. Just Check My Status on Facebook”, can be found on the New York Times website.
Can “evidence” from social networks be trusted? What are your thoughts?
