A lot of things that will happen is if I were representing one side, I would say these are glorified texts between friends, anybody out there, any of you on the jury.

Think about your text message between your best friend.

Think about the things that you say.

We always joke if there is a group text message

there's always two group text messages.

There's a one group text message, and there's a side group text message about one of the people in the original group text message.

And so that's the same thing that people in the jury will realize.

But the other side is going to say, this is when they're having their truest, cleanest, most real thoughts.

This is how they believe.

This was a manipulative game.

This is the consummate mean girl.

This is Regina George and her friends trying to destroy...

Justin Baldoni.

It's going to be a clash of her credibility.

And what we worry about as trial lawyers is when it turns into a clash of credibility, what it stops becoming about is the underlying evidence.

And that's when it becomes an issue that they're more worried about Tay-Tay's credibility than they're worried about.

Did the actual facts actually happen?

And that becomes a problem.

Yeah, you're exactly right.

Because if I had Taylor Swift to understand, I'd have her explain it.
