During the trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon, the accused was questioned about screenshots said by the defence to record messages exchanged with Jesse Baird in December 2022.
Prosecutor Hatfield focused on the poor quality of the images, which appeared blurry. Lamarre-Condon said the low resolution was caused by the screenshots being emailed.
“If you’re trying to insinuate any of these are not genuine, we’ve got videos,” Lamarre-Condon said.
He was also asked about different “avatars” displayed at the top of the messages. Lamarre-Condon said they represented “different forms of messaging”, namely Instagram direct messages and text messages.
Asked why one screenshot was of particularly poor quality, Lamarre-Condon replied that this “always happens” when images are emailed.
“These messages are all genuine,” the accused said.
