    like it was made with a check list of all the important points necessary to charge him.

    Of course, it’s a curated list of specific texts that support the prosecution’s case. That’s why there are omissions in the chat log. They’re not submitting all of his texts, just the ones they think are most relevant to the case. The defense will have to get access to the full logs and submit counter points.

      I thought it could be edited and put together as a dialogue but that would be misleading nonetheless, it’s not presented as quotes. And it’s suspicious that the roommate isn’t more prominent in there but mostly absent even though they apparently knew right from the beginning. Destroying that note would normally get a charge for being an accessory after the fact and they’re bloodthirsty for trans involvement but that’s not happening for some reason. Which would imply a deal.

      I’ll be pretty agnostic until Tyler starts singing in court, this isn’t clear at all.
