Texts??? But but but....I thought texts were private conversations. Guess you gotta be real careful who your “friends” are.

Social media is another animal completely. Only stupid people toss out to the world every little thought that enters that pointy little head.

Yes, texts. Stating that you are a racist does not usually help in the sentencing phase of a trial.

“In another text exchange, from Sept. 4, 2018, someone texted Guyger that she should adopt a German Shepherd.

“Although she may be racist,” the dog’s owner messaged Guyger.

“It’s okay.. I’m the same,” Guyger responded.”

Yes, texts can be used against you. Diaries have been used against defendants for a hundred years. Diaries are private as well until you commit a crime.
