The Maryland Court of Special Appeals held that text messages are admissible if there is enough circumstantial evidence to establish that the Defendant actually sent them to the victim's phone.


See the reported Opinion:
Dickens v. State, CSA No. 1739, Sept. Term 2005. Reported. Opinion by Salmon, J. Filed July 2, 2007.




Those little tiny flare-ups, temper tantrums, nasty remarks, often sent in haste, just might come back to haunt you. Use caution, please, or you might have to eat your words.
