<p>Include another person in the picture, kill the other person later in the same day, keep the police report. Or a less violent variant;-)</p>

have an honest neighbor witness and sign a statement to that effect,
but then she could be subpoenaed to testify in court etc, and that isn't good,
and may not even be possible, if for instance she is old and sick. So
imagine I take digital photos with a time stamp. The time could be set
wrong on the camera, so just to make sure, I get that day's newspaper and hold
it in the foreground, then keep the paper. So that proves to the
satisfaction of the court that the event could not have taken place earlier than
the timestamp on the camera, but it doesn't conclusively prove the event could
not have taken place later. I could have gotten last week's paper,
intentionally set the camera time a week behind, taken the pictures and claimed
the events took place a week earlier than they really did.</span></font></div>
