That's why he was not called to testify, and the journal wasn't used, because there is nothing unusual or sinister in it.

THis I wonder about too.

DHP could be called but his word wouldn't mean much. I.E. His word against Brenda saying NO.

If the LE's took the DIARY, you think the prosecution would have entered it into evidence if there was nothing 'wrong' in it.

Since they didn't, I think there was 'something wrong' they didn't want the JURY to know about.

Since the VD's , the Prosecutor, the DA, wouldn't ALLOW the DEFENSE to have their own INVESTIGATORS ENTER The VD residence to check anything out for themselves, well, I guess if the DIARY was still in her room, that means there is NO WAY DEFENSE was allowed to have ACCESS to that DIARY. Doesn't it?

So, that explains why DHP wasn't called as a witness. No book. No proof, just his word. Brenda or Damon say different, WHO IS THE JURY GONNA BELIEVE? Kinda pointless to even waste time bringing him in, without the DIARY itself.

See what I am saying, V ??????

The journal was part of discovery, and the defense did have access to it as such. They did not use it.

So that pretty much leaves only the conclusion I came to before. DHP is either a mental case or extremely stupid, because he committed malicious libel in his public statements and on his website.

The prosecution has no need to introduce the diary as evidence, because it is irrelevant to the case against the defendant, and could arguable be prejudicial to the defendant, i.e. being merely an emotional display of the humanity and innocence of the victim.
