Incompetence in the justice system is a good reason to keep all trackers on and privacy features off.
That gives you enough data to robustly say "look, I couldn't have been in this chat conversation, because here is my data from that day and you'll clearly see I was running a marathon".
I personally keep 24x7 audio recordings of my life to try to get ahead of false accusations.
He has been set free, but his entire life has been destroyed by this "subtle" mistake. Once you have spent time, no employer will touch you with a barge pole. (innocence not withstanding)
The appeal has been completed and he's been acquitted. Note the past tense in how the CBC wrote this part:
"The Wisconsin police identified Mr. Klayme as the offender using the incorrect username. His conviction rested on the internet username being attributed to him,” the appeal panel wrote.
The Appeal Court decision said no evidence was found linking Klayme to the girl, the Kik conversations, or the intimate images.
In addition to an acquittal entered on the charges, the sentence and ancillary orders against Klayme were vacated.
Correct, I might have broken the title description rule, but I think my description more accurately summarizes what happened. I don't think my title is biased one way or the other.
Note, the post title field isn't long enough, this is a skyrim themed username used on a 3rd party service. Not for the name used by character in Skyrim itself, which is not (without extensive and rare modding) a multiplayer game.

Can any UK lawyer chime in?
This is an error by US (Wisconsin) police misidentifying a man in (Halifax, Nova Scotia) Canada. Why do you want to hear from a UK lawyer?

Correct, I might have broken the title description rule, but I think my description more accurately summarizes what happened. I don't think my title is biased one way or the other.
Your title leaving out the "innocent" part makes it a stunningly inaccurate summary.

and these are called 'investigators'?
Convicting an person who is not guilty, that's how good they are. /s
