What can I do to prove that I am innocent when somebody used my license during a speeding ticket in MA?
I was working during the incident. I lost my Paycheck stub. I will have an appeal before a judge soon, what evidence would I need to bring, or get to help make a valid alibi? I do not know the vehicle that was pulled over by the officer. In the appeal, I believe the officer will be there. (he was not there for the hearing) The license that the offender used, was my old expired license that was considered invalid when I called my DMV in NY. But in MA, they do not scan the back of the id. I was told to have my boss write a letter with a letterhead stating my worked hours?

I think you have answered your own question. Have your boss write a letter on company letterhead stating that you were at work at the time of the incident in question. If you can also get 1 or 2 letters from co-workers stating that you were there as well. If possible, see if any of them might be willing to go to court with you to testify that you were in fact at work at the time in question. A personal appearance might carry more weight with the judge.
Also, if the police officer appears he might remember that you are not the person that he gave the ticket to. But that's a long shot considering how many tickets he/she probably gives out. Also, since this is an appeal I assume some period of time has passed since the incident so his chances of remembering all the specifics of the case are realistically not good.
