Yet another DST  lawsuit brewing.

A Pennsylvania student was held in jail for 12 days after a bomb threat
recorded by a school hot line service was wrongly attributed to him, Fox
News reports.

Fifteen-year-old Cody Webb, of Greensburg, "called a school district
hot line to listen to a recorded message about school delays at 3:12am EDT
on 11 March", his mobile phone records later revealed. The next
morning, school officials discovered said bomb threat logged at 3:17am.

 The powers that be therefore concluded that "Webb had made the threat
because they also found a record of his phone call", the lad's
attorney Tim Andrews explained. The school's principal confirmed his guilt
by asking Webb for his cell phone number later that morning and then
quickly declared: "We got him. We got him."
Webb refused to confess, was arrested "on a felony charge of
threatening to use a weapon of mass destruction and related misdemeanor
counts" and thrown into Westmoreland County Juvenile Detention Centre
for 12 days until the truth was revealed.

In fact, because the school had not reset the clock on the hot line, which
continued to show Eastern Standard Time, officials and police failed to
spot that the bomb threat had actually come in at 4:17am - more than an
hour after Webb's innocent call.

Andrews explained: "The district attorney subpoenaed the cell phone
records, and it didn't take more than a minute to see the times didn't
match."

Webb was finally released "when a state trooper failed to show up at
another hearing". The charges were dropped on 27 March.
