-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Does anyone else find it strange there are no timestamps? This conversation looks like it was typed up in a random text editor. And the supposed roommate's response make me wonder if this is the first time they saw these texts.
That partial transcript isn't an exhibit, but rather part of a charging document; it's presumably formatted to be consistent with the standards of the court in which it is filed (courts can be very picky about this stuff, requiring specific margins, typefaces, spacing, etc., and sometimes judges have their own personal rules). In addition to this charging document, the prosecution will file exhibits consisting of screenshots or some other type of transcript that is admissible as evidence.
It should have timestamps, even if it is just a charging document. I can't imagine prefacing the names with times would be out of bounds.
We know the roommate was cooperating, and the police had Robinson's phone, so without timestamps this looks planted.
