Ian Bailey has said he now believes a 1997 diary entry "back in print - hip, hip hooray" is probably his writing, after telling a court yesterday it did not look like his hand writing.
The court has heard the diary entry followed an interview he gave to the Sunday Independent several months after he was first arrested on suspicion of murdering French film producer, Sophie Toscan du Plantier.
There was a light moment when barrister Luan O'Braonain began comparing the letters in the diary entry "back in print - hip, hip hooray" with other writings by Mr Bailey.
Having told the court under cross examination yesterday it did not appear to be his writing, the former journalist said today that he thought it could be but he was not 100% sure because there was something strange about it.
''What if I make it easier'', he said ''How about possibly?''.
''No'' replied Mr O'Braonain, ''I'll see your possibly''.
Mr Bailey (57) then said it probably was his writing.
It was put to him that the words referred to a Sunday Independent interview, and exemplified that he enjoyed media attention.
He replied "I'm not back in print am I - it's only if I author something".
His wrongful arrest action against the state and Garda Commissioner continues.
