OOPS I just answered this and i addressed it to Jackie, sorry Linda. :)
The civil trial they were allowed to enter the diaries for Nicole's
state of mind, but not for them being truthful, not to say they were
lies, but the jury was not supposed to consider what they said, they
were to consider what Nicole herself was thinking at the time and her
state of mind. From all the depo's transcripts and reports I have read
her last couple weeks, she was in a panic mode concerning OJ and what he
was going to do, she was telling everyone he was going to kill her, and
even called Sojourn the women's shelter. For a women to go so far as to
contact a shelter, that tells me a lot.
Concerning the criminal trial and the diaries, he allowed in portions of
the diaries not all of them, Ito also allowed in some of the letters
written by OJ and Nicole.
