E23 / SOURCE-LINKED RECORD

The January 28 daytime text exchange

Guarino presented messages about the relationship, arguments, and plans to meet.

What the record shows

Guarino presented earlier January 28 messages containing disagreements, apologies and plans to meet for drinks.

The same reporting describes Camerano's testimony that the couple greeted each other affectionately at the bar and that he observed no argument or tension there. The messages do not establish a later physical act or intent.

Limits and disputed context

The content of an argument does not establish a later physical act or intent. This is an attributed summary of the messages, not their full reproduction.
