    I mean this is kind of true, but they didn’t have the authority to change the contents of the book or the title.

    The thing they did to try to make it look like a confession was the graphic design of the cover making the word “If” difficult to see, so that it kind of looks like it’s called “I Did It.”

    I haven’t read it so I can’t comment on the veracity of shath’s comment, but if it is true then it’s not because her family changed the text of the book.

    EDIT: you know what, looking into it more, it definitely does sound like more was changed than the cover design so I’m just going to say idk what happened here and it could be a significant rewrite, sorry CarbonScored

        Okay, so I want to pull back a little bit because I’m not an expert on this or anything, but my understanding is that the reason that they changed the cover in the way that they did is that they weren’t allowed to actually change the title of the book.

        Are you saying that they were allowed to change the title of the book but chose to only change the graphic design, or that they weren’t allowed to change the title of the book, but that they were allowed to insert new text into it to make it look more incriminating?
