Forensic Breakthrough on text messages-

New techniques that may soon be used in court are text messaging. This technique can also be used from emails, chat rooms conversations and other electronic messages. This is used so that they can determine the like hood that two messages were written by the same person. Dr. Grant analyzed the characteristic abbreviations used in the messages. In the phone of a girl that was murdered Jenny Nicholl she used, “I am” and “myself”. The text messages sent to her phone after the appearance contained “im” and “meself,” which were similar to what was said in David Hodgsons phone with convicted him of murder.
