About PR's handwriting:
Transcript from November 27/01
Wood: With respect to Patsy Ramsey, you have -- it's been described at one point again on a scale that we don't necessarily, I don't know if it's an agreed-upon scale, but for purposes of trying to discuss the reports, there was a description of a one-to-five scale with five being elimination. And you have publicly acknowledged that the sum total of the handwriting analysis done by the investigation on Patsy Ramsey that you would agree that she was somewhere about a 4.5; is that right, on that scale?
Hunter: That's roughly right.
Wood: Not eliminated but very close to it, am I right?
Hunter: Yeah, I can't remember, you know, I would be more comfortable saying four on that scale. I can't remember the 4.5.
Wood: And I think when you were asked about it, you said that that was close, the bottom line being that they placed the chances of her writing the note as I believe you described it as very low --
Hunter: Right.
Wood: -- is that right?
Hunter: Yes, very low.
Wood: And without asking for names, there were other individuals who were under suspicion whose handwriting was analyzed that were not eliminated as the author of the note; am I right?
Hunter: That's correct.

Next, I commented based on what I saw with my own eyes - I have never claimed to be a handwrtiting expert. If you will read my comments WRT PR and the handwriting, I said that the way they look (to me) so strikingly similar would tend to make me think she *didn't* write it.
have YOU seen the exemplar, side by side with the ransom note? its stunning, anyone who says its "4.5 out of 5" for elimination, needs new glasses.
