Back Slant

Here's a more recent case to discuss. Many of us followed the Caylee Anthony case in Florida. Here's a copy of the mother's statement to police. There are many striking features. The note is printed and it's on lined paper so that takes away some of our indicators. Otherwise, note the up-hill tendency and the height of the midlines. This person is definately a sociopath and needs to be fed a steady diet of broccoli for the next ten years.

Jonbenet

Hi all,

Although this is old, old news, I wanted to revisit the note in the Jonbenet Ramsey case. This note provides exceptionally good examples of top knots. Notice how the top knot appears in lines 18, 27 and 42. This clearly indicates that the writer is addicted to vanilla ice cream and is a menace to society. Natually, we prefer to work with originals but this still provides a wonderful example.
