It's utterly outrageous to me that SMS screenshots are taken as proof in 2023. Literally anyone in the world can create a 100% accurate pixel perfect SMS screenshot in their mobile OS of choice using Photoshop, Figma, or any other tool. Remember when the entire internet canceled Chris D'Elia over a few leaked screenshots? Pitchforks on fire.

  Actually September 2016, but does it matter?

This is all after May 2016 and the article was published in January 2020. Thinking back on it, I know that SMS screenshots could be faked back in 2015.

  Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

  They had three. The cops survived the perp over the course of 3 months so see where they kept the backup phones and got a warrant to get them.

Of course the judges know this. In fact, ALL documents can be faked. The perpetrator here affirmed (probably) under OATH that the document was true and correct, and not faked. Additionally, he may have fabricated other evidence to support the texts. As such, he got away with it. Now that this is out, however, not only can he suffer criminal, contempt, and civil charges. But he will forever be labeled as a forger and NO documents of his will be usable in court if the other side contests them.
