Modern Evidence in Matrimonial Proceedings
Tiger Woods' recent matrimonial troubles seem to have been triggered not only by his own errant behavior, but, more proximately, by his wife's discovery of a trove of text messages on Woods' cell phone. Other high-profile figures whose phones, and their unedited use of them for amorous purposes, have provided key evidence include former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who used his city-owned Blackberry to send messages to his aide cum paramour; Nevada Senator John Ensign, whose mistress's cell phone number was listed on the Senator's phone under “Aunt Judy”; and Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons, who allegedly sent more than 800 text messages to his lover on his state phone. Gibbons later repaid the state $130 for the texting charges.
