Sheila Lowe | Between the Lines – Forensically Speaking

Are you a CSI buff? Do you watch every episode of Cold Case, Forensic Files,
Law & Order and all the spinoffs? Then you are one of the people who have
turned forensics into a hugely popular field. These days, DNA, fingerprints,
and all that technical stuff makes fantastic (or more correctly, realistic)
fodder for fiction. So what better time to introduce a new kind of forensic
expert?

I’ve been in the field of handwriting analysis for forty years and
occasionally, I testify in court cases as an expert witness. My practice
includes working on cases of forged wills, anonymous letters, and all sorts of
legal chicanery, as well as behavioral profiling. And my clients have never
been as savvy or as interested in what their handwriting says about them as
they are today.
