Hmmm...maybe this was just a clerk correcting the label to reflect the missing records after Corsi made a stink? Hard to say. Seems a little weak for the judge to bite, but worth a try. The records are missing on the key dates!
“maybe this was just a clerk correcting the label to reflect the missing records after Corsi made a stink?”
When an error is made on official document? A bank will ask for (and expect), an initial, by the person changing the document. Why would a change to official records not show the bureaucrat’s initial and a note defining the reason for the change? Know what I mean?
I undderstand your caution. I too noticed the obviousness of the correction and wondered how Corsi concluded cover-up.
Agree with what probably happened was a clerk changed the label to what was actually viewable on the reel. What should now be done is correct the film itself by going back to photograph the missing pages from the original records. Not that I'm holding my breath that'll ever be done and if it was done that it would be true.
No way Jose. Look at the labels, they didn’t make a normal correction, they pulled the oldest forger’s trick in the book, the one that every schoolkid has used at some point: transforming one letter or number into another to disguise what was really written. So, instead of just crossing out the 3 and writing a 1, which would be a normal correction, they erased parts of the 3 and darkened others, to make it look like a 1 and a comma. That’s blatant forgery, and the forgery implies a criminal conspiracy and cover-up.
