Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a party must present sufficient circumstantial evidence to support a finding that a social media page is “what they [are] purported to be.”
• holding that a party must present sufficient circumstantial evidence to support a finding that webpages are “what they [are] purported to be.”
• holding that the evidence was sufficient to support authentication, in part because the posts depicted “numerous photographs of the appellant with his unique arm, body, and neck tattoos, as well as his distinctive eyeglasses and earring”
• explaining that some courts, “mindful that the provenance of such electronic writings can sometimes be open to question,” have held that prima facie authenticity was not demonstrated
• noting that “the trial court itself need not be persuaded that the proffered evidence is authentic” to admit it
• observing that the fact “that a text message emanates from a cell phone number assigned to the purported author ... without more,” might be “[in]sufficient to support a finding of authenticity”
