Semen present from Chris' anal swab but no conclusive match

DNA shows Davidson raped Channon vaginally and anally; Cobbins raped her orally

OMG---the journal!!

 

[SuziQ]

Physically IDing letter written by Vanessa used to compare journal to.

 

[darnudes]

Got my first look at the journal. Witness saying the letter he has from Coleman matches the journal.

 

[SuziQ]

Letter and journal match.

He's now explaining how he came to that conclusion.

Miller - letter, journal match. Journal found in purse found in Ky bedroom Coleman slept, had Channon stf in

Larry Miller, handwriting expert, used Coleman jail letter to compare w/ journal penmanship

 

[darnudes]

Comparing a journal entry to a rtn envelope sent to Coleman from Rome, both in Colemans writing

OMG she wrote "1/9/07...Crazy!" I have a feeling the journal is going to be bad.

 

[SuziQ]

Suddenly stopped.....attorney's at bench.

 

[darnudes]

This is going to be very interesting testimony...approach being made at bench...witness wanted to say something about the way she wrote "interesting".

 

[SuziQ]

Resuming, not sure what that objection was all about.

 

[darnudes]

witness talking about how she wrote the words "a lot"

 

[SuziQ]

Beside dates following Channon/Chris abduction wrote "think!" And "crazy!"

Undated entry - "how interesting is ur life? Bet it can't compare to mine

 

[SuziQ]

Odd, it's so much like Casey Anthony's journal, torn out pages and all.
