My impression is that he includes it to show (the redacted part) that the Witness was so reluctant that she did not associate her own name with the handwritten list of bullet points.
Bernardo claims that the intended function of keeping her identity cloaked was so "she would not be subjected to what is not happening to her," a reference to being discredited and called a liar. Well, that a nonsense argument, seeing as her identity remains cloaked, and that doesn't stop the testimony from being discredited.
“My impression is that he includes it to show (the redacted part) that the Witness was so reluctant that she did not associate her own name with the handwritten list of bullet points.”
Not sure I follow you. The “note” as posted has a blacked-out block I presumed was a signature redacted to prevent public disclosure of Witness 8’s name. Are you saying she signed some other name to it?
Another thing I find odd: why would W8 close a note like this with “Thank You”? What is W8 thanking Sybrina Fulton for, when W8 is doing the “giving”?
