OK what I meant was ask if the following was accurate:
one doesn’t prove a forgery by proving the parents aren’t the real parents.
They prove a forgery by comparing the doc in question to a real doc.
I.e. finding who the real parents are is secondary (and not relevant in a criminal case about forgery )
“I.e. finding who the real parents are is secondary (and not relevant in a criminal case about forgery )”
Proof of BC forgery is different from proof of paternity depending on what type of proof you are talking about.
No comparison to a real doc is necessary if it can be proved that the forged BC NEVER WAS a real doc, but was, instead, entirely a cut-and-paste job!
Barry’s real parents could be SAD and BHO Sr. and the LFBC could still be a forgery. The forgery could have been made for reasons having to do, for example, with birth location, not birth parents.
If an alternative foreign BC has been found and can be authenticated under the FRE by foreign authorities it would present a challenge to the US legal system. IIRC, in Orly’s case in CA back in 2009 Judge Carter said in dicta that even if such an authenticated foreign BC was found, he would give deference to an HI BC or any US state BC (provided that an actual certified BC was submitted to his court, which it never was due to lack of discovery being ordered by him).
