Thanks for all this. I just had a question about how you came to this conclusion with the above quote.
Why do they only fit into the civil nature of the dispute? Why is the text only related to labor claims? How does it support Diggs contention that nothing happened?
When I read the report, this text is the only thing that stuck out to me, because I immediately supposed it referenced the bedroom incident, especially as it was proceeded by "You don't need to do this..." Diggs said nothing happened, but the text says something happened.
So I read it the opposite way that you do, and if it is admissable (if, for instance, they investigate who sent the text and determine whose phone it came from), then isn't it possible a prosecutor would bring a witness to the stand who could explain what they meant by sending that text? I should think this gets very complicated at that point.
