Welcome back, and ITA; however, I do believe that the State was too quick to stipulate to -- and should have challenged -- the authorship of some of the messages. While I think many of the messages were, as alleged, actually composed and sent by TA, I don't believe that they all were. Even the phone recording sounded rather staged and prompted.
I recall only the one time when JM challenged the lying torture murderess on whether even though she had produced a message she allegedly sent at TA's insistence, she had actually emailed it to Abe of "No, but there's magic in them" fame. But I personally believe that with access to the victim's email and social media accounts, she may have sent any number of messages to and from TA's account which she actually composed and replied to herself.
As the authorship of all of those messages to and from cannot be conclusively proven, I would have liked to have seen the Prosecution press that point much more aggressively, even though some of the messages clearly cut both ways. But, as she was/is on trial for her life, what do they have to lose even if they partially admit to her sk**kish (rhymes with hankish and pankish) nature?
The DT, however, had already calculated that their best ploy was to falsely portray the victim as an abusive pedophile, an entirely unsupported and unproven claim which JSKS allowed in anyway.
(Merely one more of this judge's many foibles, IMO.)
