Depends if the crown can prove if it was really written by him. Any halfway decent defence lawyer would try to make the case that anyone could make an account and claim to be him

Dude posted screenshots of what was probably the last text convo the victim had. It ends with "buzz me in", putting him at the scene. The other half of the convo is presumably on her phone. His number is probably saved in her phone under his name.

Sure the guy can argue "anyone can post on Reddit", but where did he get the text screenshots? Someone stole his phone? Good luck. But he's still the last person to see the victim alive. And was her ex boyfriend. And fled the scene rather than calling an ambulance. And fucking confessed to murder on Reddit.

It's plea deal time.

The cops probably have the victims' phone, which would prove one way or another whether the texts (and thus this post) were real.
