Reader’s Question:
Regarding Hasegawa-san’s revelation about an incident with a senior during his youth, the senior has responded. Hasegawa-san mentioned he has a diary from that time and discussed it in a video with his lawyer. Is it true that the authenticity of that diary can be determined by analyzing the paper and ink components? In other words, does this mean that the events recorded in the diary might be recognized as having actually occurred? Is it plausible for a judge to think, “Surely, they wouldn’t go that far to fabricate
evidence”?
The Power of the Diary and Its Authenticity
Recently, I saw the news about Hasegawa-san’s revelation regarding an episode with a senior from his youth, and I noticed that the senior has made a rebuttal. I was particularly struck when Hasegawa-san stated, “I have a diary from that time,” discussing it in a video with his lawyer. This made me ponder the actual authenticity of that diary.
Evidence Capability of the Diary
In reality, diaries hold a high level of evidentiary power. I have been keeping a diary since I was sixteen and have continued to do so during my career. Recording what I felt and what happened daily is fascinating to look back on, and at times, it can serve as important evidence. If Hasegawa-san’s diary is based on real experiences, I believe it has a strong chance of being accepted as evidence in court. In my case, my diary often includes entries like “I ate too many sweets today” or “I laughed so much with friends that I got a stomach ache,” capturing little daily events. When specific occurrences are recorded, it’s interesting to read them later and vividly remember, “Ah, I remember that!”
Scientific Verification
It’s also intriguing that the authenticity of a diary can be examined through the components of the paper and ink. The ability to scientifically determine whether something is from the past showcases the power of modern technology. If Hasegawa-san’s diary truly is an old one, the judge might indeed think, “Surely, they wouldn’t go that far to fabricate evidence.” Sometimes, when I revisit my own diary, the emotions and situations from that time come rushing back, and I can’t help but laugh. For instance, one entry mentions, “I messed up cooking today, and my friend laughed so hard that they cried,” which has become a fond memory now.
