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

[Boston]

Just adding my $.02.

If I was an ideal juror (ie, I'd been living on an island in the South Pacific for the past year and knew nothing of this case... which is probably more MY ideal than what either the prosecution or defense would hope to seat)... given the evidence thus far, I would find it easier to believe that Casey's "ZG" existed and played a part before I would believe this journal entry was made on some other date than which it is dated.

To me, it's pretty clear (at face value) that the picture taken of the journal entry is of no value. And I would definitely reconsider should more details come about that demonstrate otherwise.

On the other hand, I have yet to see anything that conclusively proves that Cacey's "ZG" doesn't exist.

I don't see either of the two issues as any further stretch of the imagination than the other. We put the pieces together to build a picture that either 1. we recognize, or 2. we want/hope to see. But neither of those human inclinations necessarily reflect the truth.

As another poster mentioned, how do you prove a person "Doesn't Exist"?

If the law required that the prosecution "Disprove" the existence of a person in order to get a conviction then every murderer in the country would be saying......"It wasn't me.....The Boogie man did it"

think the defense have to do a lot more than just say somebody else might have done it.

They have to propose an alternative and present some sort of support and evidence.

I agree - I sitll think the writing is SUSPECT

If you look at another photo (sigh its somewhere Ive posted on another thread about soemthing else)

Oh here it is

you will have to strain your neck ! but look at that writing its different to the journal / diary writing

Two things strike me as strange about the June 21 diary entry:

Usually when someone writes in a diary they don't leave out things unless they think someone else might read it.

What I mean by this is: Why isn't she saying exactly what transpired that she thought was "the right decision"?

IMO a "normal" person would write something along these lines, "Dear diary, today I told my John to take a very long walk off a short pier. It was hard for me to do this but, I'm glad I did....."


The second thing I find strange is: Why write in red? Sorry to all you red lovers out there. But, who writes in red? What does that color signify? Love? Sex? Anger?

This is a grown woman with a child and she's writing in red?

Just strikes me as odd. Perhaps because I am a teacher and I used red to mark my students' assignments....

Thanks.

I see if I can achieve the trick, else contact you later

Just take a screenshot; hit your print screen button on the keyboard, then paste it into "paint" or a similar program, save it as a Jpeg, and Voila!! It's yours!!

That gives a very poor image. And you have to crop etc.

and not only that but also:

So, thanks, Poirot.

Here's another interesting comparison:

Casey's diary entry:

"I am finally happy.
Let’s just hope that it doesn’t change."


Casey's photobucket:

"I'm not afraid of happy endings.
I'm just afraid my life won't work that way."

It looks like the pages have been torn out too about 1/4 of an inch worth. I've had journals like this before and if you try and just tear the pages out neatly they get jagged. So you have to pull a bunch out at a time and sections come out bonded with the glue backing. I have done this to sooo many journals. Someone will give me one for a birthday or Christmas and I will begin my journal. However, after about a week or two of daily journal keeping I'll stop, then start and then I'll decide to really start and end up tearing out big chunks of the journal. One journal can be used for years that way.

Do we know that pages were removed, or does it just look that way? Could it be that no pages are missing and that there was just a wide swath of glue put on the binding backing?

It should be easy enough to determine if that particular journal was even manufactured in 2003 or prior. If it was around in 2003, the entry could still have been made in 2008, but if it was not around in 2003 or prior, then the entry certainly could not have been made in 2003.

I agree with you. Also, watch this video on youtube from Greta's show this morning. She's interviewing a Judge at the end of the interview who is confident that the writing on the '03 page is younger than the writing from June 21.

Ah, but you are absolutely correct. clickorlando has the report.
Several pages were ripped out following the pages that read " '03". I had the same thought you did about a very late alteration as it was brought from Tony's. Lee could have done that or another family member. But at least now we know there are pages missing following the dated one. No wonder Judge Pirro said what she did about the difference in the writing.

That says it.

Ive turned it round

On the other hand, I have yet to see anything that conclusively proves that Cacey's "ZG" doesn't exist.

Does the non-existent child Zachary of Jeff Hopkins count? That is how she said she met her.

 

[Hot Dogs]

Did OCSO determine that pages were removed, or did some reporter deduce that after looking at the photos in the doc dump?

 

[JaneInOz]

When I say writing is suspect I mean its totally different

ITs either different to what she writes now or its not HER Writing !

What if someone knew she was guilty and WROTE All that for the LE To find ?

Play this game that my DW played a while back.

Try and name someone that you know that you trust enough to leave your child with that no one else who know's you has ever met or known about this person.

Other than going up to a complete stranger on the street, everyone always has at least some connection to someone else (and 6 degrees of separation to Kevin Bacon)

I know this is a bit off topic but, IMO all this evidence like diary entries, duct tape, heart stickers... are simply icing on the cake.

IMO the most important piece of evidence at the "disposal site" of Caylee Anthony is the Winnie the Pooh blanket.

That blanket ties the "disposal site" back to the Anthony home. End of story.

I recall in one of the taped interviews with Casey she told the police that Zanny had everything in her house. She had pampers, clothes, even shoes. So, she didn't have to take anything to her house when she dropped Caylee off. So, how can she now turn around and say that she gave Casey to Zanny with the Winnie the Pooh blanket?

The blanket ties someone from the Anthony house to the scene.

Casey Anthony's actions after her child went missing are highly suspect. She said she was conducting her own investigation and yet when you read her text messages. In all the incoming text messages that she received every person expressed shock. She never told them Caylee was missing! How can you conduct an investigation and you're planning trips and partying?

Sad, sad, sad!

Crop her signature more so we can see it better, but it looks like the same "jacks"-type letters that she wrote Every Day is A New Day style in. I think even the small a and s are the same, but it's hard to tell that small...

She put those dots on the "C" in Casey like the writing on the inside cover of the diary/journal. It's kinda hard to see if there are other flourishes without enlarging the picture.

The color of the ink might relate to her mood or the subject matter? Red=important?

JMHO

KC doesn't strike me as finishing things. I think she probably had the diary in 2003,
didn't use the entire thing, maybe tossed it aside and then picked it up much later.
Perhaps she found it when she looked under her bed or cleaned her closet out in
2008. Decided it was time to be a "journalist" and record her fascinating life
story.

ITA! And the fact that pages were apparently torn out of the book before the June 21 entry supports this theory. I'm not troubled by the '03 at all.

I know nothing about this diary except what I've read here, but I sure hope there are more pages!

One thing that struck me funny is that the entry speaks of many things yet still manages to be vague. KC can't open up and be deep even with her own self!!!
