Handwriting and Hand Printing
Although not all handwriting is identifiable to a specific writer, the examination of handwriting characteristics can sometimes determine the origin or authenticity of questioned writing. Traits such as age, sex, personality, or intent cannot be determined from handwriting examinations. Some reasons for inconclusive results include the following:
* Limited questioned and/or known writing.
* Lack of contemporaneous writing or lapse of time between execution of questioned and known writing.
* Distortion or disguise in the questioned and/or known writing.
* Lack of sufficient identifying characteristics.
* Submission of photocopied evidence instead of original evidence.
