"Textgate: Prosecutors' Case Against Teen Hinges on Alleged Adult-Like Texts. In a shocking twist in the trial of a teenager accused of murder, defense attorney Rocco Cipparone has revealed that the prosecution's case is being built around a series of text messages allegedly exchanged between the defendant and a co-conspirator. According to Cipparone, the texts are so graphic and direct that they could have been written by an adult, raising questions about the defendant's age and maturity at the time of the crime. The defense is expected to argue that the texts were fabricated or taken out of context, and that the prosecution's reliance on them is a major flaw in their case."
“He’s not texting like a kid… his texts are as graphic and direct as any I’ve seen from an adult,” defense attorney Rocco Cipparone said.
