Defense Attorneys Seek Alleged Victim's Facebook Postings

Defense Attorneys Seek Alleged Victim's Facebook Postings. Is it ethical to use Facebook postings obtained under false pretenses? In this case, an alleged victim was friended on Facebook by the son of the alleged perpetrator, and the information gleaned from the posts was passed along to the Defendant's attorneys. Aside from the discovery of the posts as relevant to the crime, is there a problem with Defendant's attorneys using the information? In any event, here is another reason to friend only people you have met in person, and whom you know personally. Of course, it is also good to be careful what you say on Facebook or other social media sites.
