Abstract

In questioned document cases in which the writing cannot be positively identified, “writer's palm print(s)” can sometimes be developed below the questioned handwriting. The position of a writer's palm print can be used to infer that both the palm print and the handwriting originate from the same hand.

Keywords:
questioned documents, palm prints, handwriting, latent prints
