TV entertainment purposes? What entertainment shows are you claiming they were they on?Patsy scored 4.5 out of 5. She didn’t write the note. She also passed a polygraph in 2000. The handwriting analysers you mentioned were for tv entertainment purposes. They’re not privy to information regarding anything about the note or patsys handwriting examples other than unvarified copies floating around on the internet. Patsy was told what to write and how to write it for her handwriting tests so comparisons could be made. You can’t compare her handwriting examples without knowing why she wrote certain things certain ways. No court would accept the comparisons done for tv. The only handwriting comparisons that hold any validity are the ones done through the police and her score determined it was highly unlikely she was the author of the note. Technically you could say a 4.5 score doesn’t rule someone out but that’s just grasping at straws. I’ve heard of other people scoring a closer match than patsy, bill McReynolds apparently scored a closer match but was ruled out due to his ill health. Linda Hoffman Pugh is another one who apparently scored a closer match but was ruled out because she had an alibi of being asleep.
Ubowski was CBI and the first to examine the note. He was a part of the investigation. Gideon testified at the Wolf vs Ramsey trial. All of these experts listed were well qualified experts. I am not aware that any appeared on tv. I am also not aware that they gave their qualified opinions some of which were accompanied by signed and notarized affidavits from "copies floating around on the internet". You're making accusations that are not rooted in fact.
Patsy's first polygraph test was "inconclusive". They were asked to take tests administered by FBI polygraph specialists. Despite loudly complaining about the FBI not being involved in the investigation, which was in fact false, they refused to be tested by an FBI specialist. They hired their own polygraph examiner.
This particular examiner has been proven to have lied about some of his credentials. Ed Gelb is his name. He claims to have a doctoral degree but was vague about the university where and also when he earned it. He listed LaSalle University on his resume as a school he attended, but there is no proof that he earned a doctorate degree there. Turns out the LaSalle University that did award him his "degree", is a now defunct, unaccredited diploma mill in Louisiana using the name LaSalle. It was run by a shady character named Thomas James Kirk aka Thomas McPherson. In 1996, Kirk's La Salle was raided by the FBI and in 1997, Kirk pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges.
Hearing that other people scored a closer match than Patsy is proof of nothing, that's why they call it "hearsay". The people you mention were not ruled out as suspects solely because of handwriting samples, their DNA did not match either. Out of the 74 people who gave handwriting samples, only Patsy could not be ruled out. That isn't grasping at straws, it's fact.
