If you have time, google Gable Tostee. He was a carpetlayer living in an ocean view apartment in Australia's Surfers' Paradise resort town, another boaster who claimed online to have bedded hundreds of satisfied women and to have the gift of grabbing them straight into his bed.

One evening, he did woo a woman into his bed and hours later she fell to her death from his balcony.

He was charged with murder. His guilt was written all over the internet including an earlier brag referring to tossing annoying people off his balcony and his version of events was a ridiculous story of casual sex followed by her attacking him verbally and physically including throwing artificial rocks at him and striking him with a large metal clamp. He claimed he locked her on the deck for self-protection and was nowhere near when she fell. The prosecution scoffed and preferred his incriminating previous boasts. Things looked very bad for Tostee.

Turns out his phone recorded the whole thing. The jury listened, believed his version, and acquitted him yesterday.

As his attorney said, imagine if there were no recording. His outlandish boasts would have sent him to jail.

Probably you guess why I've raised this here. However, IMHO Tostee is not a likeable character and I;m actually referring to prior comment about the rich and famous routinely recording their lives. Certainly the expectation of being recorded has a dampening effect on bad behavior and prevents accusations surfacing later to hurt you. Now I'm wondering whether we all should start recording. In this case, had she and he known they were being recorded by each other, probably a young woman would be alive today and he would have to behave in a more gentlemanly fashion as well.
