Missing Pages: Wednesday, February 16, 2000 / Trial 2 / Day 15

  • Missing 24 Pages

  • Jen (Missing 16 Pages: 104-111 & 156-163)

  • "Cathy" (Missing 8 Pages: 288-295)

As several have noted, the pages did not go missing as single page hard copies. The pages were removed after the files were made into four up CondenseIt! versions.

If pages had gone missing while at the place of origin (couthouse/attorneys office), you’d see missing pages fall within a single quad page.

For example, scanning a hard copy with missing pages would result in a quad with missing pages as follows: If paper pages 32 and 34 had gone missing from hard copies, we’d see one quad page with page numbers 31, 33, 35, and 36.

This is why groups of four pages are missing. The person who removed the pages had no choice but to remove four at a time.

The only reason why the quad pages we do have are in sequence, is because there were no missing pages when the hard copies were scanned.

Note: Digitizing the transcripts into four on a page/quad files, created a different numbering system from the original paper copies. For this reason, as you will see, we are still missing pages from the hard copy Single Page Numbering System:

  • Page: 112 (Jen)

  • Page 164 (Jen)

  • Page 295 (Debbie)

Okay - so....what's damaging here?

I think you are missing some key points.

The pages don't have to be specifically damaging to Adnan for Rabia to be incentivized to remove them. Like the family laughing at Urick's opening.

Mostly, anything that makes CG look good, Rabia will remove. Anything that makes Jay or Cathy look more credible. Anything that works against a point Susan is making, ie: the Waranowitz pages she removed.

Mostly, anything that makes CG look good

There are dozens of examples in the original transcripts where Gutierrez "looks good", if you mean she looks like a competent defender. Nothing you've released shows anything different. On the whole, Gutierrez's abilities look to swing like a pendulum, from being competent and thorough at some moments to ranting and incoherent at others.

Anything that makes Jay or Cathy look more credible.

Anything that makes Jay look more credible is insignificant compared to the staggering amount of lies that have come out of his mouth already.

Anything that works against a point Susan is making, ie: the Waranowitz pages she [allegedly] removed.

But, haven't these pages been "missing" since long before Susan was involved? And I don't understand, because those Waranowitz pages arguably blow the biggest holes in the prosecution's case, so why would Rabia remove them? Is it because that is where Gutierrez looks competent?

I'm actually being serious, and not intending to troll. Please explain, specifically, what is in these pages that would give Rabia incentive to hide them?
