- Robert Durst killed Susan Berman and Bill Cosby's son, Ennis
- Durst is a letter sent to Berman in 1999 that has handwriting that was similar to an anonymous note sent to Beverly Hills police
- In both samples, the writing is in all capital letters, and Beverly Hills is misspelled as "Beverley Hills."
- Sheila Lowe, president of the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation, noticed other marks like Ls with a little curve at the bottom,  Es in both samples in which the top cross bar is longer than the bottom cross bar, and Ss in which the bottom part bulges larger than the top part
- "For more than 100 years, we have recognized that expert handwriting comparisons have evidentiary value and that juries should 'form their own conclusion in reference to such similarity or resemblance,'" Judges quote of the case]]> 2019-04-15 18:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lourdes_legaspi19/tsya2fctuiyt/wish/351765186 lourdes_legaspi19 https://padlet.com/lourdes_legaspi19/tsya2fctuiyt/wish/351860831 2019-04-16 02:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lourdes_legaspi19/tsya2fctuiyt/wish/351860831 lourdes_legaspi19 https://padlet.com/lourdes_legaspi19/tsya2fctuiyt/wish/351861230 2019-04-16 02:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lourdes_legaspi19/tsya2fctuiyt/wish/351861230
