Breaking a leg

[RJNorton]

Thank you, Rob and Joe.

"The court determined that Mary was not biased and that her diary statements were not made in contemplation of litigation, but rather were made as part of Mary's recording the everyday events of her life. We find no error in this regard."

Booth was recording an event in his life, and I don't think litigation was on his mind, so I would think the diary would be admissible.

"We conclude that the admission into evidence of Mary's diary was neither contrary to, nor involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law as determined by the Supreme Court."
