sylvia is a ligit forensic handwriting witness by day and a graphologist on the side. What do you think handwriting says about a person's personality? A lot. The last herd there were like 12 or 13 states that have put penmanship back into their educational system because it does build discipline. It builds self determination. It builds all the characters that you can find. When i get a a court case, my reputation in that ara, that field, that arena, that is a really heavy duty.
Is it weird to have different handwritings? How do you forge ancient documents? What pen should you use to write checks? Who is the greediest person in American history? Forensic document examiner Sylvia Kessler met up with Alie in the back of a Nebraska office store to chat about penmanship, ransom notes, court cases, self-expression, and we *very* lightly touch on the fringe -ology that uses handwriting to analyze personalities and how Barnum knew best when it comes to carnival "magic."
