    Most receipts contain a time stamp. I could imagine a scenario where someone claimed Mitch (if he was still here) was involved in a crime and he could use the donut receipt as proof of innocence.

      It’s up to the discretion of the judge.

      Friend had car stolen. Joyriders caused police chase but they got away. Police arrested friend. He had an ATM receipt time stamped from when the police were chasing the stolen car.

      Judge didn’t care.

        This is what happens when you rely upon the public defender. Not that many people have options.
