1059 Wood: Chief Beckner confirmed yesterday that the
10 investigation had retained the services of Chet
11 Ubowski, obviously through CBI, Leonard Speckin,
12 Edwin Alford and Richard Dusak to at various times
13 perform handwriting analysis on the ransom note in
14 comparing it and analyzing other individuals'
15 writings. You were familiar with those four
16 individuals?
17 Hunter: Yes.
18 Wood: Are you familiar with their results as
19 they pertain to Patsy Ramsey?
20 Hunter: Yes.
21 Wood: Those four individuals are well respected,
22 are they not?
23 Hunter: Yes.
24 Wood: You also know Howard Ryle and Lloyd
25 Cunningham?
106
1 Hunter: Yes.
2 Wood: Within the community Howard Ryle and Lloyd
3 Cunningham are highly regarded and well respected,
4 aren't they?
5 Hunter: Yes.
6 Wood: You were given the benefit of Howard Ryle
7 and Lloyd Cunningham's opinions in this matter in a
8 presentation that was done for the investigation
9 through the Ramsey attorneys, correct?
10 Hunter: Yes.
11 Wood: I'm correct that there was not of the six
12 individuals any examiner that identified Patsy Ramsey
13 as the author of the note; am I right?
14 Hunter: That's right.
15 Wood: These were not people who came there to
16 identify her or not identify. These six individuals,
17 understanding two of them were employed by the
18 defense, I think you fairly agreed were trying to be
19 professional, thorough, and objective and reach the
20 right result under their standards of handwriting
21 analysis; am I right?
22 Hunter: Yes.
23 Wood: The sum total of the investigators and the
24 individuals I've been over that with were hired by
25 the Boulder Police Department along with Mr. Ubowski.
107
1 With respect to Patsy Ramsey, you have -- it's been
2 described at one point again on a scale that we don't
3 necessarily, I don't know if it's an agreed-upon
4 scale, butfor purposes of trying to discuss the
5 reports, there was a description of a one-to-five
6 scale with five being elimination. And you have
7 publicly acknowledged that the sum total of the
8 handwriting analysis done by the investigation on
9 Patsy Ramsey that you would agree that she was
10 somewhere about a 4.5; is that right, on that scale?
11 Hunter: That's roughly right.
12 Wood: Not eliminated but very close to it, am I
13 right?
14 Hunter: Yeah, I can't remember, you know, I would
15 be more comfortable saying four on that scale. I
16 can't remember the 4.5.
17 Wood: And I think when you were asked about it,
18 you said that that was close, the bottom line being
19 that they placed the chances of her writing the note
20 as I believe you described it as very low --
21 Hunter: Right.
22 Wood: -- is that right?
23 Hunter: Yes, very low.
24 Wood: And without asking for names, there were
25 other individuals who were under suspicion whose
108
1 handwriting was analyzed that were not eliminated as
2 the author of the note; am I right?
3 Hunter: That's correct.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That sounds to me like there was an 80-90% probibility that Patsy was NOT the writer of the note.
And a 100% TRUTH that others were not eliminated as the author of the note.
FOX TV is leading the lynch mob at this point - - have no doubt.
