I think the defense is trying to infer that the writing in the diary refers to KC's breaking up with this boyfriend, and they want him to testify as to the timeframe to show that she was not implying any guilt in the "diary".
My guess is Baez wants him to testify to the timeline these events happened in, that ICA is writing about. "KD, what year did you escort ICA to the prom?", etc.
But then doesn't he have to ask ICA if she wrote about these events immediately or is she reminiscing about past events?

I agree, LG, that that is probably the reason Baez added Kenneth D. to the witness list. But, IMO, it doesn't really matter if the ghostwriting mentioning "Kenneth" was written in 2005, or any other date, for that matter. It still doesn't prove the June 21 diary entry about being happier than she has been in a long time was NOT written in 2008, right after she killed Caylee. The ghostwriting could have been the last entry she wrote at that time and did not write in the diary again until she had something BIG in her life to write about, June 21, 2008.
Kenneth D. was apparently not a "new friend" KC was referring to in that entry since she went to high school with him. It is a fact that diary was not purchased before 2004 (the same year, BTW, that KC should have graduated). So the '03 was written by whomever on that diary for some purpose. I believe it was written to throw off the time frame, but I can't exactly nail down my thoughts on that too much more than that at this time.
I still believe, however, and will probably always believe, that the June 21 entry was written in 2008, and the new friends KC was referencing is TL and people she met through, and because of, him.
IMO, the defense doesn't really accomplish much by putting KD on the stand. So they prove the "Kenneth" referenced in the ghostwriting was likely written in 2005 (or if Baez has his way, 2003). The State can certainly still put in the minds of the jurors that there is a possibility the diary entry was written in 2008, if they choose to go that route.
Is there still a chance they may be able to date anything relating to the diary to 2008?
JMHO
ETA: June 20 and 21, 2008 is when KC was partying it up at Fusian.... she was a happy girl.
I completely agree. I think she's writing about her doubts about offing Caylee, and whether or not she'll get caught, but in the meantime, she's happy enjoying life partying at Fusion with TonE and her new crowd of friends and out of the house (not because she decided to become a mother)... I don't buy the high school garbage either, it was written June 21, 2008 and backdated by someone to say '03 to throw suspicion off.:twocents:the part that states " I hope the end justifies the means"
just cannot be attributed to the falling out of a boyfriend, what sense would that make.
is this not usually a statement one would use when hoping something you HAD DONE that might seem off at the time,, eventually works out ok. meaning you've put yourself out there now i hope it doesnt blow up in my face
maybe im wrong but i dont think so
"I just want to know what my future holds I guess i will soon see"
seems like shes waiting to see if she has been CAUGHT
i cannot believe that this was written before anything happened to her baby and tbh i dont care what any boyfriend says there is no way this has anything to do with boyfriends, high school or any other crapola they want to throw out there... jmo
oh and I dont have any regrets just a bit worried .. contradiction in terms really, if you have no regrets then why are you worried oh im confused.com

i have just read a post where someone asks if maybe this was written june 21st 2005 just before caylee was born and when i think about it it could well be attributted to her pregnancy
see this is why we should always keep an open mind (quite clearly mines a little tainted) because if you read this with the pregnancy in mind it reads a little differently..... well I think

I have no regrets, just a bit worried.
I just want for everything to work out okay.
I completely trust my own judgment & know that I made the right decision.
I just hope that the end justifies the means.
I just want to know what the future will hold for me.
I guess I will soon see --
This is the happiest that I have been in a very long time.
I hope that my happiness will continue to grow --
I've made new friends that I really like.
I've surrounded myself with good people --
I am finally happy. Let's just hope that it doesn't change.

The only other thing that is hanging out there would be "I've made new friends that I really like". Because the only friends she apparently had at the beginning of 2005 do not exist, JL, JH, Nanny, Nanny's roommate, Nanny's sister, Nanny's mom. So who were these new friends. Up to this point she had only had contact with her old friends. Also the missing pages could point to dating the June 21st date by the year.
Now if they can date the ink, we should be hearing about that soon. jmo
New friends as of 6/21/05 would include Jesse. Also, Chris S. said in his 7/30/08 interview that he'd known Casey for "about three years." And Lauren G. said they started "hanging out more" after Casey finally "found out" she was pregnant. And Annie D. said they became closer friends in "2005, 2006." And I think there was another girl who said she was pregnant at the same time as Casey so they were closer at that time?
Although....the friends above were people she already knew, if only in passing from high school.
In contrast, the Ricardo crowd and the Tony crowd were distinctly different-They did not fit into what Annie described as their "core" group of friends. Two or three people described her friendships in the Morales/Lazzaro circles as kind of a big change for KC, old friends knew nothing about new.
She also knew ZFG for three years, right? I wonder if that is coincidental as so much is in this case! :banghead:
lol Lambchop
doncha no that imaginary friends are the best friends you could have theyll never tell...
--snip- And I think there was another girl who said she was pregnant at the same time as Casey so they were closer at that time?
That was great thought to come up with the Jesse/pregnancy theory and kudos to the poster who did.
But...is that something ICA would really write those thoughts about? Since she appeared to be not too impressed with her pregnancy - ie wasn't shouting it out to the world - not sure if I can go down that road.:waitasec:
Maybe it's just a coincidence - but it sure sounds like 2008 material to me.
