So the idea that only PR exemplars resemble the rn is not accurate.
Even if it isn't accurate, PR's have one thing on them that no one else's do: we KNOW she was there.

Totally agree.
I do think that there is some resemblance in some letters such as the letters y and q,
the reservation I have is that anyone with a marker could produce those letters that resemble both the PR and RN.
Obviously the RDI can spin it that PR was disguising her true writing habits in the RN.
While this is entirely a rational argument,
it leaves the question begging, how do we match the RN to PR handwriting if the RN is disguised?
How can we tell whether PR wrote the RN in disguise, or an intruder in disguise?
I think forensic linguistics is the best way forward out of the deadlock.
the letter "a" is hooded in RN, unhooded in PR.
Me neither. It was my own two eyes. Which, like it or not, is what it would come down to with a jury, too.
Actually, that reminds me. Alex Hunter actually had a pretty good idea (for once) to break the deadlock: just let the jury see the comparison charts for themselves.
:clap: Exquisite.
Now you're talking my language.
I imagine that's a tad unlikely.
Thank you! You are a gentleman.
Good questions. The best answers to both I can give you are:
1)as I understand it, it's the really distinctive similarities that give it away. Just as an example, the "a"s. I heard somewhere (can't remember specifically just now) that only 5% of the American population writes them like that.
2) I realize you probably won't like this, especially coming from me, but there's no way around it: a lot of it comes down to who can be placed inside the house that night. As of now, no one has ever been able to show that there WAS an intruder in there to begin with, whereas PR can be shown to have been there.
I imagine that's what Hunter thought, too. Until it blew up in in his face. I say start over. Bring in linguists who are as unbiased as possible. As good a place to start as any I can think of.
Ah-ha! I got you on that one, voynich. In her writings BEFORE the crime, she wrote it both ways (about 50-50). AFTER the crime, she only wrote it unhooded. I make mention of this in my book.
She was the only person who was shown to have changed her writing after the crime. As my buddy Curly the Stooge would say, "dat's a coincidunce!"
Even if it isn't accurate, PR's have one thing on them that no one else's do: we KNOW she was there.
You know what's bothering me re "Patsy wrote it"?The last part of the note when it gets personal.It's like someone else wrote/composed that part even if the handwriting is the same.Now I'd like to know,if PR wrote it and in the first part it's obvious the writer tried to pin it on a SFF(kidnapping),why change it completely in the last part by implying it was someone having a personal problem with John?The only thing that makes sense to me would be that being in a hurry she didn't even READ what she wrote when she was done and didn't even bother if the note makes sense or not.But why write it then in the first place?
I'd have some IDI questions as well re the note but since they never bother to answer except for when it's about scoring points I'll drop it.
Hi madeleine.
Less is more.
I dunno, I always thought, PRDI wise, that somehow she thought the more words, the more distance from herself within the note.
@bold
IMO that won't be possible,not in THIS case.This case is too high profile,everbody wants to gain something by getting involved.
Hi SD.
Ya that's cool.
Just, that for voynich to have posted a sample that does represent the varatian seen in the rn, is a find.
They may just be similar on 'at first glance' level, not close examination.
PR was there. And at first glance at the rn, JR commented on the similarity to his wife's handwriting.

Cherokee kindley posted a dictated handwritten note by PR side by side to the RN

It is obvious to anyone that the two samples do not look anything alike. Obviously the RDI can spin it that PR was disguising her true writing habits in the RN.

I think that the ZK lower case "t" is distinctive looks the same as in the RN.
Here's a spooky crackpot idea
