I don't know... that's an interesting discussion all on its own. I think it would have been taken more seriously back then, since people were more often believed at their word than they are now. Also less precedence back then too. I'm not even sure if a person's diary would even be admissible in today's system, since it seems to me like it would just be hearsay. Like isn't it just attempting to submit testimony without the person themselves testifying?
I'm totally willing to be wrong on this. Maybe a lawyer here can comment?
