But just before she was killed, it seems they had broken up for good, and Celeste was not happy about it.
And look, I know people might be thinking, why are you even using the words relationship and all of that?
She's obviously a minor and he is 16 when they meet.
But by the time they're having a sexual relationship, he is 18.
I get that.
But I think it just makes the story very confusing if we start to say anything other than what she perceived it as, which was a relationship.
But I understand that it's not in a legal sense or in a moral or ethical sense.
So the prosecution haven't released these text messages.
And I think possibly the reason they haven't done that is because I think perhaps they worry that it might make Celeste look more unsympathetic.
She is a child, right?
She is 14 years old when she was killed.
So...
I don't personally care what she was saying in those text messages, but I assume she's being maybe quite aggressive with him, threatening to ruin his life, maybe even threatening to lie about things.
I mean, not that she has to.
They were in a very, very illegal sexual relationship.
Yeah.
But I think that they're hiding that back because of maybe what's being said in those messages.
But they are making it very clear that she was making threats that would have ruined his career.
Because, of course, if she was pregnant, a pregnant 14-year-old making accusations like that would not have been a good look.
And this is the point the prosecutors are referring to with their special condition on David having killed the witness of a crime.
