You have right to use these calls detail in your defense and alibi is one of best defense.
alibi is a form of defense used in criminal procedurewherein the accused attempts to prove that he or she was in some other place at the time the alleged offense was committed. The Criminal Law Deskbook of Criminal Procedure[1] states: "Alibi is different from all of the other defenses; it is based upon the premise that the defendant is truly innocent." In the Latin language alibīmeans "somewhere else."
