Casey's Diary Entry for June 21st & Missing Pages #1

[SL_Zero]

the pages preceding the june entry have been torn out imo.
i tend to start a journal, tire of it, and when i come back to it whenever, tear out all the old pages, since there are never very many.
probably what happened.

YUUUUP. Which would mean that '03 would be erroneous.. :bud:

Awesome catch!.:clap:

Wow, this is really a great catch, natsound! :clap::clap::clap:
It changes the whole perspective on this..My confidence that this is an entry from 2008 is through the roof now.

Bond, I see you down there, LOL! Chime in with those analytical skills of yours!

Maybe the tv station reporter who's disputing the date this entry was written needs to look at the pic again. Just sayin'

But what's still missing here is any evidence that this was written in 2008. There is no proof.

Those of you who believe that this was written in 08, what is the proof you would use at trial to support that theory?

So what do we make of the date '03 in the corner of that diary? LE considers the diary entry evidence. When was the diary seized... in December? Sorry I can't look myself.. I'm up to my ears at work. If it was seized in December, she had time when she was out on bond to write '03 in the corner... but common sense would tell you she would have simply destroyed that evidence.

Bolded by me... you are sooo right, why not just simply destroy the evidence???

See now that leads me to believe it in fact was written in '03... why not just burn the diary in a bbq or something when she got out on bail the first or second time...

I'm just sayin..... yikes I dont know, I want it to be in 08 so its the icing on the cake....:behindbar

I'm not an attorney, but I wouldn't use it in trial. The diary of days entries are much more compelling because the dates match up, and there's tons of other evidence as well. But this journal entry is certainly interesting fodder.

Because that's something Casey lacks, she is so arrogant, she never thought anyone would figure it out. She was brazen enough to walk into B of A on camera and cash Amy's checks she forged, and caught again on camera at Target also using Amy's checks.

Bumping again, here's another example, where you can see red ink underneath the June 21st page. Robyn623, thank you so much for blowing these photos up! :blowkiss:

It looks to me that at one time this was a much thicker diary, and a chunk of pages were taken out, still bound together with some glue. That's why we see that thick strip of glue with no paper fragments stuck to it.

HLN Just reported that the Prosecution will have a hard time getting the Diary admitted into evidence unless they can prove it was written in 08'

If it was written in 03' it is irrelevant according to attorney

Looking at the diary up close I really think it looks like pages are ripped out. Also, if you look at the arrow I added to the pic you can see some ink possibly from a previous page that has been ripped out, IMO. Please forgive me if this has already been discussed.

Yes! Your photo editor is much better than mine and I can clearly see where the pages were ripped out. TY

I agree.....I thought that it looked as if pages were torn out as well

If you look close it looks as if there are serated edges in the crease. Just like you would find if you tore pages from a book

I blew up the pic a bit and I see more evidence (IMO) leading to the theory that pages have been ripped out. See the little jagged pieces and the spots where parts of the binding are missing?

TY Robyn... I miss quoted in my previous post.

I agree, totally not relevant if its from 03, that's why I question, there has to be more for this to mean anything, hopefully we will know in the next doc dump.

Do we know if KC had a history throughout the years of writing carpe diem and other encouraging messages, like tomorrow is a brand new day? If so, then I can see a scenario where the hardback-looking part with the '03 date on it really is from '03... the journal was meant to be strictly for '03... KC didn't use every page at that time, so pulled out all the old pages and started new after her criminal act in June, then simply forgot she had written it. I know, it's a convoluted theory....

Absolutely.

Good Job with the photo.

You can't quite get all of the page from the book if your ripping out pages & it looks like that is exactly what somebody did

I believed that the state's attorneys would have been able to convince a jury that Casey killing Caylee was premeditated even prior to the release of this information.

No one other than someone who planned to kill their child wraps duct tape around the head such that it is stuck in the child's hair + has a heart sticker lying around to place over the duct tape covering their child's mouth. Yes, I've read/heard the arguments that Casey could have placed the heart sticker on the duct tape after Caylee died, even though she may not have intended for Caylee to die, because she "loved" Caylee and the death was an accident, etc., but I never believed that line of reasoning would resonate with a jury for many reasons, beginning, chronologically speaking, with the fact that Casey waited 30+ days to report Caylee missing, the fact that Casey only reported Caylee missing because Cindy placed the call to 911, etc., etc., etc. I just couldn't imagine a jury refusing to convict Casey for 1st degree murder.

With this additional information - it's as many here have been saying: LE has much more than we'd previously been given, and the case just continues to grow stronger each time we become privy to said information.

Way to go LE!

If it can be established that this is an entry from 2008, then I believe that the state's attorneys will shortly be placing the possibility of the DP back on the table, and with good reason.

I agree 100%.

That is what I have thought from the beginning...no proof at all...as a juror if the prosecutor presented this and tried to tell me they KNEW it was 2008, I would immediately think why are they so desperate for evidence that they would try to pull off this BS?

 

[momtective]

As I stated earlier, I think this was a diary Casey wrote in at one time (2003). I think she ripped the old entries out and started writing in it again in June 08. I don't think the ripped out pages and destroyed evidence. I just think they were pages from 2003 and she ripped them out because the were old entries.
