Q: Jim Rawls, Ramsey attorney
20 Q. What is your degree of certainty
21 yourself as you sit here today that Patsy Ramsey
22 wrote the note?
23 A. I am absolutely certain that she
24 wrote the note.
25 Q. Is that 60 percent certain?

0127
1 A. No, that's 100 percent certain.
2 Q. You are 100 percent certain that
3 Patsy Ramsey wrote the ransom note in this case;
4 is that your testimony?
5 A. Yes, it is.
6 Q. And the word 100 percent came out of
7 your mouth, not mine; correct?
8 A. That's correct.
9 Q. At least first.
10 A. That's correct.
11 Q. And you are an individual who, to
12 the best of your knowledge, has never made an
13 error in determining the authorship of a
14 document; am I correct?
15 A. As I stated, if I have, and it's
16 very possible that I have, it's never been
17 brought to my attention.
18 Q. You will acknowledge that as a human
19 being the possibility of error is a part of
20 your genetic makeup.
21 A. Absolutely.
22 Q. But you will not testify that
23 there's any possibility of a mistake on your
24 part with respect to Patsy Ramsey; am I correct?
25 A. No, that's -- in regards to Patsy

0128
1 Ramsey I feel that the conclusion that I reached
2 is the correct one, and that is that she is
3 the author of that note.
4 Q. And again, that is with not just a
5 little bit certainty, that is with 100 percent
6 positive conviction.

My response?? I have more faith in Hunter's experts here.

8 Q. And you understand that from Alex
9 Hunter's perspective, the sum total of the
10 handwriting analysis done by the investigation on
11 Patsy Ramsey was that she was somewhere at about
12 a 4.5 on a 1 to 5 scale, with 5 being
13 elimination.
14 A. (Nods head).
15 Q. Do you not, sir?
16 A. That's what he says.
17 Q. Thus, that from Alex Hunter's
18 perspective, Patsy Ramsey was not eliminated by
19 the experts chosen by the district attorney, but
20 she was close to elimination; correct?
21 A. That's what he says, yes.
22 Q. And from Alex Hunter's perspective,
23 you also understood that there were other
24 individuals under suspicion who were not
25 eliminated; correct?

166
1 A. That's what I understand, yes.
2 Q. Who were not eliminated as the
3 author of the ransom note.
4 A. I understand that, right.
