Abstract

Forensic handwriting analysis played a key role in linking Dina Rodrigues to the murder of six-month-old Jordan Leigh-Norton in 2005. An expert testified that handwriting on a waybill used by the men whom Rodrigues allegedly hired to gain access to the infant's home matched hers. "There is no doubt in my mind that this writing is the product of one author," the expert told the court. That testimony was the final nail in the coffin, resulting in Rodrigues's conviction and sentencing in 2007 (refer to the Crime Series published in Servamus: May 2020). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
