#0, The Hoffman FAX
Posted by jameson on Apr-26-02 at 09:56 PM
Darnay Hoffman is the attorney who is suing the Ramseys. He says that his experts will testify that Patsy Ramsey and no one else wrote the ransom note.<P>I shared this FAX a long time ago with the forum - and will again. This FAX went from Darnay Hoffman to another attorney - Tom Miller. Tom Miller was willing to say that as a handwriting expert he had done what the FBI, CBI and US Secret service had been unable to do - - - link Patsy to the note.<P>Miller was willing to say Patsy wrote the note.<P>This FAX, however, is a document I think most Ramsey addicts will find very interesting.<P><img src="http://www.jameson245.com/hoffmanfax1.jpg";><P>The text:<b><BR>Dear Tom, <BR> Could you please fax me a copy of your c.v.? My fax number is (212) 496-****. I need to begin<BR>preparing your court affidavit and a recital of your qualifications as a handwriting expert is essential. <P> You might be interested to know that I spoke with handwriting expert Paul A. Osborn who is, as you<BR>probably already know, the grandson of Albert S. and son of Albert D. Osborn. He refuses to touch the<BR>Ramsey case with a ten foot pole. His reasons: he knows the handwriting experts who gave their reports<BR>to the defense team and to CBI - - - four in all. According to Osborn these experts are supposedly top in<BR>their field (he won't give me their names) with impeccable ethical credentials. Their verdict: the<BR>similarities between Patsy and the ransom note writers handwriting is at the very lowest end of the<BR>spectrum, i.e., there is little or no basis for a match. <P> I don't have to tell you what is going to happen when I present your report and affidavit to a district<BR>court judge. When Alex Hunter and Hal Haddon are finished with you, you will either look like Henry<BR>Lee or Dennis Fung. Obviously this is going to be a "defining moment" for both of us. My former law<BR>professor Barry Scheck just took a wicked hit in the Nanny murder trial, so it can happen to the best of<BR>us. <P> Trust me (as they say in Hollywood) when I tell you that if you're doing this solely for the money, then<BR>you're nuts. This is "a career move." You better be in this because you "like the action." Because you're<BR>going to see plenty of it when this report hits the courts. <P>Best, Darnay Hoffman <BR>.
