They confessed. Unless there’s verifiable evidence that the damage was pre-existing, there is a case to be made.
In the US at least, this is in civil court, so there’s no “beyond reasonable doubt” expectation when making a judgment. Person A claims someone damaged their car, presents evidence of damage, a confession, and a visual connection to the confession and Person B.
No, I read that - it’s just not substantial. If the ding already existed, my point is that the driver is overlooking it in the photo we’re seeing. That is proof that it is not new damage and shouldn’t be considered in this case. I get that you’re trying to CYA, but it doesn’t need to be to this degree of hyper-vigilance.

It’s not “I say so,” it’s “He said so.”

Like a photo of the driver circling the car, unable to spot where the damage was, immediately after reading the note? Hmmmm…
