Departure from Handwriting System
J. M. Miller · Journal of Forensic Sciences · 1972
Abstract Document examiners are often heard to make the statement that a certain letter is significant because it varies from system in design. This statement immediately brings to mind two obvious questions: 1. From what system does it vary? 2. How would the examiner answer during cross-examination if asked, “Mr. Witness, you have made the statement that this letter varies from system—would you please tell the court from what system it varies and what system did this person use when learning to write?”
