The original inspecting inspection authorized A&P only has to write in the airframe log, "I certify that this aircraft has been inspected in accordance with an annual inspection and a list of unairworthy items dated xx-xx-xxxx was given to the aircraft owner." Once that line is in there, he doesn't have to ever see the plane again. As long the unairworthy items have been addressed by an appropriately certificated mechanic and the corrective actions recorded in the appropriate logbooks, the aircraft is airworthy and the annual inspection is good through the end of the 12th month after the first IA did the inspection.
There is no requirement, or even suggestion, for a mechanic to write in a logbook that he found an aircraft to be in unairworthy condition. Only if it's airworthy does that word get used.
