Text Messages Authenticated Because They “Made No Sense” Unless Defendant Sent Them

The Second Department determined the content of text messages was admissible (i.e., authenticated) because the messages “made no sense” unless sent by the defendant:

…[T]he text messages from the defendant to the complainant were properly admitted into evidence. Since the content of the text messages “made no sense unless [they were] sent by defendant” …, the text messages themselves were sufficient to authenticate that they were sent by the defendant … .  People v Green, 2013 NY slip Op 04623, 2nd Dept, 6-19-13
