If you were (falsely) accused of murder, but you have records of your phone at home with youtube videos being played, can you submit those records as a sort of Alibi to exonerate you?

Ahem.

Photo / audio / video evidence.
Eyewitness testimony

That the eyewitness was also recording does nothing to change veracity, those are still photo / audio / video and can thus be faked.

Its more like defence against misremembering/misidentifying rather than outright lying. If a witness intends to lie, then like the video portion doesn’t really matter, because neither could be trusted in that case.
