I'm watching Bill O'Reilly (one of my favorite's actually!...and yes, I am a Democrat
![Stick Out Tongue](https://pics3.city-data.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
) and he had a handwriting expert on who has written a book on how handwriting styles can reveal deception. Her name is Michelle Dresbold and she's been trained by the Secret Service through its Advanced Documentation Training Program, etc.
She explained how trained experts look for deception in the way O's and A's in particular are written and showed how Scott Peterson and O.J. Simpson show deceptive traits in their handwriting.
She also showed one word from the JonBenet Ramsey Ransom note and the same word written by Patsy Ramsey. The stress is on the exact same letters and vowels (meaning that the pressure used when writing was identical) and when looking at the same word in the ransom note and from Patsy's handwriting elsewhere where she handwrote the same word, you can see that it's identically written in style. Michelle Dresbold says there is only a 2% chance that Patsy Ramsey did not write the Ransom note herself.
I couldn't find that word used in that comparison on line that was shown on television, but I did find samples where individual letters and vowels were compared side by side and they sure look the same! Samples on the right are from the Ransom note. Samples on the left from her regular writing.

Don Foster,the nation's foremost linguistics expert said: "In my opinion, it is not possible that any individual except Patsy Ramsey wrote the ransom note," adding that she had been unassisted in writing it." His testimony was not allowed in the grand jury and never heard by that grand jury as it was barred by the Boulder District Attorney.
I do think Patsy Ramsey killed JonBenet Ramsey, but I think it was an accident in a fit of rage when JonBenet wet her bed and had to be cleaned up around midnight that night.
There was evidence that JonBenet had been sexually abused, not in a typical manner, but she had swelling and damage in her vaginal area with a punctured hymen and the investigators believed the damage looked like she'd been smacked in her genital area with a wooden handle of some sort and there had been very slight penetration, like as a form of punishment and that it had been ongoing judging from the injuries.
Curious about other's opinions.
