I looked at the original note page to see if I could cross-reference the phone number written below "these eyes" in the notes with the doctor's number listed in the ad, but there was no match. Instead, I found that the number in the note (650-8880) matched a Texas business called Shaw Industries...

I'm no expert but I do have a lot of experience doing handwriting comparisons from when I was a title examiner. The two words "THESE EYES" are certainly different in style than everything else on the page. The phone number written below it, however, is similar and nearly indistinguishable from...

This is a very good analysis. There are some similarities between the samples but there are just as many discrepancies. Isn't there some question as to whether or not the "desktop poem" was actually written by the Zodiac killer or someone else? Such doubt would cast further doubt upon the...

I realize that this is a very old thread, and most of the posts I've quoted are from 2009. However, I thought it was still worth hazarding an opinion on some of the questions regarding handwriting that have previously been posted in this thread. First, my qualifications: Let me say right off...

I just got a text from Orlando Sentinel that there's a verdict!

Life in Prison is far, far cheaper: http://www.deathpenalty.org/article.php?id=42 From the article: (the figures apply to the State of California alone)

Forensic entomologists have to be able to testify in a court of law in order to practice their professions, so yes, he will testify again someday. However, I doubt he'll ever express an opinion that isn't written in his final report again. :floorlaugh: It was a rookie mistake, and I...

If Caylee was only chloroformed once and that single incident killed her, then she wouldn't have lived long enough for the chloroform to make its way through her system and be deposited in her hair. Also, the hair doesn't actually keep growing. The scalp atrophies and shrinks away from the...

I agree. It seems to me that all of the Anthonys are under such intense scrutiny that any random gesture can be (and is) interpreted as something sinister these days. Between the "secret hand-signal analysis" and the "flipping the bird" theories, I think some people might be letting their...

I entirely agree. You can be sure that if George Anthony had been in charge of disposing of Caylee's body, LE would never have found it. First of all, he's a detail-oriented guy who took meticulous care of the family cars---he never would have let a vehicle of his get contaminated with the...

The use of visual aids is classic "Attorney 101". All people, no matter how stupid, remember information better if it's first described, then presented a second time in a visual form. The reason why teachers spend so much time writing on the chalkboard is that it's proven that students will...

Yes I do. I think that OCSD should be the only organization with the right to release, publish, print, or otherwise publicly display photos from any case file within their jurisdiction. I think that they should not do so until after any trial is completed (with a verdict, mistrial doesn't...

I think they (defense team) had everything to do with it. I think the defense got a load of her "grief" performance and were able to talk to their jury analysts over the lunch break. The DT realized that Casey really stinks at feigning grief and that the jury wasn't buying it. At the same...

I noticed her doing a lot of septum-pinching during this testimony. Here's an experiment you can try at home: Grab the fleshy portion in the center of your nose between your nostrils and pinch it hard, digging in your nails a little bit if you can. I guarantee you that your eyes will water, your...

Do you mean during Narkiwiecz' testimony on Friday? Or Bloise's testimony? Or did you really mean Saturday? Can you narrow it down a bit? Because I don't see any obvious "Aha!" moments. Maybe I missed a few minutes of the testimony.
