Prosecutors relied heavily on WhatsApp messages allegedly sent by the defendant, claiming they included an offer to “buy her virginity,” but the court found jurors weren’t properly guided on how to assess the authenticity and origin of electronic communications under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act. The defense argued the police didn’t obtain the messages directly from the victim’s phone and couldn’t confirm they came from the defendant’s device. Despite the prosecution’s claims that the victim confirmed the screenshots were hers and that the defendant’s lawyer requested their admission, the appellate judges concluded the convictions depended too much on unverified digital evidence. The case is now being sent back to the Supreme Court for a retrial, underscoring the critical need for proper legal procedures when handling digital evidence in criminal trials.
