Marina writes herself off

From her HSCA testimony:


Mr. McDONALD. In the upper right-hand corner of the photograph on the back, do you recognize the handwriting? 

Mrs. PORTER. No, I don't. That is what I was discussing with my lawyer. We tried to find out if that was written by me. I mean as I told him, that my handwriting does change a few times a day. I do not write same way, you know, in the morning and maybe at night, so it is hard for me to claim even my own handwriting, but you have certain way of writing, habit of writing certain letters, so I know for sure that I could not, I do not write certain letter that way. So at first I thought it was maybe my handwriting, but after I examine it, I know it is not. 


Marina doesn't remember writing it and claims her handwriting changes more than once on a daily basis.

Interesting memory lapses when it comes to possible exculpatory evidence.

--------------------------------

No such lapses or problems recognizing her own writing when it came to damaging evidence though...


Mr. PREYER. He used the name Hidel at this time. Did you write the name Hidel on any of the literature? 

Mrs. PORTER. He asked me to put some signatures with a name like that. I make joking remark about does that stand for Fidel, you know, is that a sound association, more or less.
