I have some text messages I need to recover for a courtroom case. I need to show the particular contents of the message as well as the time they were deleted with. Long story short, someone knew I had incriminating emails on there of them and chose to snoop on my mobile phone and delete them (He saw my passcode by hovering over me multiple times)

I found this out later because he bragged to someone that he got away with snooping on my phone and deleted the messages. That individual is willing to be a witness in court, but it would help if I can show the court that the messages were delted.

Edit: The messages were deleted in October 2019 and I stopped using that phone in December 2019 and have still left it sitting in my cabinet.
