As for the big 0...I think she is either showing a defiance @ having no dependents, or again is showing anger @ that simple question.

It will be interesting to see what CM's sig looks like and if CMA's morphs into CM's.

I doubt she felt anything.

Bumping for those curious.

I am looking forward to some discussion on Casey's latest handwriting samples. Also interested to know how it compares to the diary found at her home !

[2goldfish]

one important thing I think is interesting in these letters (I am only on page 98, so..) is that slant indicates feeling - most people have a slight slant towards the right which is quite normal, a lil feeling, a heavy slant to the right indicates very stong powerful feeling whereas a slant to the left indicates literal holding one's feelings back.

for the most part her writing is no slant at all showing no feeling at the time but there are places that there is wild slanting both to the left and to the right -

will have to go back through to add specific examples but there are places in the first 10 pages or so where she talks about caylee and slants heavily to the left - trying very hard to feel nothing.

when she talks about CA betraying her, crazy right slanting - she was very upset.

she goes from feeling nothing to strong to nothing again often and this is the reason everyone thinks her writing is so different - it is not. her feelings are all over the place though.


fwiw it's extremely hard to analyze well on digital copies of copies

[debs]

Casey's handwriting fills the field.

She slants left

She slants right

She is practically vertical.

She makes very few "scribble" mistakes.

Her artwork around "Cookie"'s name is childish and the dotted letters used were also seen in her diary confiscated in the house search.

Her ubiquitous <3 at the bottom of her letters is also childish.

Casey Anthony's Handwriting Reveals Immaturity
Handwriting Analyst Examines Jailhouse Letters
POSTED: 4:07 pm EDT April 7, 2010

Sally Elliott, a forensic expert, was interviewed by phone and pointed out that Anthony's letters are all the same height.

"That's mundane writing. It's all in the middle zone. She doesn't have very much in the upper or the lower," Elliott said.

Elliott said as a person matures, their letter heights begin to vary, and some pen strokes clearly reach upward. That indicates maturity, as well as the development of morals and character.

But Elliott said Anthony's handwriting indicates an immature personality and someone who's ego-centric.

"Her main problem is immaturity. Just like any child, she's thinking of herself and doing what she wants to do," Elliott said. "(If) she wants to do something, she's going to do it. She's willful."

A handwriting analyst says Casey Anthony's pen strokes reveal immaturity.

I noticed the differences in the handwriting as well - KC usually writes vertically but then sometimes slants to the right - combo printing/cursive - sometimes more than others. Then Robyn's writing was sometimes small but sometimes looked like KC's writing too. I don't know how to copy and post side-by-side samples to make it easy to compare. Robyn's writing was sometimes very small and other times looked different - more like KC's. The pen one uses can affect one's penmanship along with whether or not the paper is lined, but I thought I noticed some pretty big differences letter to letter in the writing. When I was reading something Robyn wrote, I had trouble distinguishing her penmanship from KC's at times. Other times, I knew from just looking at the new page that I was reading something from someone other than KC. Anyone else experience the same confusion?

Just a note - I remember my teacher showing us how to angle the paper so that our writing would tilt slightly to the right - we were supposed to write that way - not backhanded or straight up and down. My mom tells a story of being admonished for writing straight up and down when she was young. She worked very hard at getting the proper slant (right slant) to her penmanship after that. She has beautiful penmanship and I commented on it once and she told me that story. So her generation and later mine were taught (at least by the teachers we encountered) to slant our writing forward - toward the right.

Wow, I never even thought of this. More scripted angles to consider?

The content speaks for itself. It screams immature and you don't need handwriting analysis
She sounds about 15 years old. So obvious you would have to be another 15 year old on the receiving end of those letters to even answer. Very enlightening.

[Tinsel]

I think one of the most significant traits in this handwriting is the lack of white space. The letters fill the space from rule to rule. No paragraphs, no air. I think the personality trait of filling up all available space in writing fits with the trait of fantasizing an entire life complete with a beautiful, rich Nanny, high paying job, college credits, tragically killed father of her daughter ... etc., etc., etc. Fill, fill, fill.

And that's the very trait that makes it so hard to read, there is no ledgibility, because the lines run together! In Graphic Design, you add lines between lines of text to help that...

Does anyone know how to put a page of Casey's recent handwriting (letter released) next to a picture of the diary found in her home ? Someone had posted it earlier, but I'm having no luck in finding it. I would like to compare the two. TIA !

snipped by me, and totally correct - this is why I said in a previous post, I forget in which thread, that slight right is most people and quite normal. extreme right is also seen in people feeling strongly, love letters, stresses, etc, the extreme left however is quite unusual. a strong example of that is whatshisname OK city bombing, he handwrote someone's poem as his last words, quite a far left writing there.

it's not necessarily bad, it's just showing emotion or lack thereof. it struck me with KC because I considered KC quite emotionless in actions as well as her previous writing all straight up and down. nothing, no feelings.


I didnt even mention her immaturity as whoever was in the news article, as that's nothing new to us

To me it looks neat and legible, and I've seen many many similar handwriting on girls/women that looks almost identical to that.

Her lack of indenting and paragraphing drives me nuts!

[countzero]

Is KC left or right handed???? Most southpaws have their letters slanted to the left or extremely to the right depending on how they were taught cursive.

Just ignore if previously answered because I didn't read the entire thread, just the most recent posts.

[JBean]

Please stay on topic in this thread. thank you.
If you have had a post removed it is because it was OT. Thanks

I don't know how she could possible indent a paragraph - I don't even know if I could find paragraghs (paragraph is a collection of sentences about a specific topic or idea right?).

It seemed to me throughout most of the writings that her thoughts jumped around - and frequently from sentence to sentence.

I recall thinking to myself - her writing is manic. It's loud and boisterous, often illogical; I can't think of another word to describe it other than manic. It made me feel anxious, out-of-breath to even read it.

Less often, her writing seemed calm and tranquil; and I think I read it slower and breathed more slowly as I read it. It was much cleaner, neater, had a right slant and seemed more logical and meaningful.

I'm anxious to go back and read it again; this time making note of not only what she is writing but how it is written and how it makes me feel. Actually - I think it might be better to just visually assign how the writing looks in different sections/pages without reading the actual content; then going back and reading for content for each labeled section to see how it all ties up.

That could be very interesting...

The similar way both KC and her pal write the letter S as an 8
makes me wonder is this letter thing fake?

If you look and compare both of their writings
the s are an 8?

How weird???

If Kc did write this let's look at the some examples as were her AMY texts content.
Kc told Amy:
You are the Sister I never had called her SIS.


Tells both they are going to do stuff[ such as move-in together or go RV ministries together]

She also badmouths family to both.

She seems to SET THE person up to use them.
She knows the JAILHOUSE girl will be free soon and is setting her up to keep in touch and use her for outside hair brained ideas.
She has nobody really to chum up with and tells her pal about the NUTTY love letters she gets from 2 men in particular one wants to marry her?
That may be the only guy who will so she maybe should take the guy up on it.
Seriously...as far as the similar letters and even similar crazy thoughts...
is this some sort of farce?
Or as KC would say
A FLUKE?

More likely, Casey copying her new BFF's writing style to further endear herself...

OMG!! <sneeze> We even write our S's the same way! How cool is that? <sneeze> I'm hungry!

She does know she will be out and about..so it does seem she wants whatever that new SISTEr can do for her...

She says it is a sign from her DADDY GOD?
Everytime she writes to her and she also says she had what she thought was a SEIZURE and she says she may have CANCER....
setting her up for trial I think..
she could have come up with that ploy alone?
She spent many hours discussing her defense....

My S's look like 8's. I usually write them that way when I don't connect the S to the next letter. I always use that style at end of a word or sentence but never at the beginning of a word. It's not something I do consciously. I have no idea what it means but I sure hope it doesn't put me in any category with Casey!!
