 It is a succession of connected, uniform strokes

working in full coordination. This is manifested by

clear-cut accentuated strokes which increase and
decrease in which like perfect cones. Pressure is always
in a state of change moving from light to heavy or
heavy to light.
 This is characterized by a succession of awkward,
independent, poorly, directed and disconnected
motions.
 By studying the rhythm of the succession of strokes,
one can determine if the writer normally and
spontaneously or write with hesitation as if he is
attempting to for another signature.
 PHYSICAL AND MENTAL EFFECTS. Intoxication affects
the physiological being of an individual hence, the
manner of handwriting is also affected.
 EVIDENCE OF ALCOHOLIC INTOXICATION IN
HANDWRITING

 Bizarre letter forms.

 Greatly enlarge writing.
 Illegible forms and writing generally.
 Uneven baseline.
 Meaningless blobs or extraneous strokes in the writing.
 Inconsistency in slant of writing.
 Inconsistency in the form of repeated letters.
 STANDARD. They are known writings which indicate
how a person writes. A writer manifests fixed habits in
his writings that identify him. This fact provides the
basis for an opinion of conclusion regarding any
writing identification problem.
 EXEMPLARS - Specimen of the writing of suspects are
commonly known as exemplars. The term standards is
a general term referring to all authenticated writings
of the suspects while exemplars refers more
especially to a specimens of standard writing offered
in evidence or obtained or request for comparison
with the questioned writing.
 SAMPLE - A selected representative portion of the
whole is known as a sample. In this text, the term
"sample" follows closely the statistical usage.
 Collected Standards are KNOWN (genuine)
handwriting of an individual such as signature and
endorsements on canceled checks, legal papers
letters, commercial, official, public and private
document and other handwriting such as letters,
memoranda, etc. written in the course of daily life,

individual upon request for the purpose of
comparison with other handwriting or for specimen
purposes.
 Post Litem Motam Exemplars - writings produced by
the subject after evidential writings have come into
dispute and solely for the purpose of establishing his
contentions.
 The amount of standard written
 Similarly of Subject Matter. If the questioned writings
are hand printed, then get hand printed standard or
exemplar.
 Relative Dates of the questioned and the standards
writing standard signatures or writing must be those
written five (5) years before or five (5)after the date
of the questioned signature or writing.
 Contemporaneous Standards Condition under which
both the questioned and the standard are prepared.
look for standards prepared under comparable
circumstances such as: paper rested on the knee;
standing; sitting; lying down; and/or while on moving
vehicle.
 Writing Instrument and Paper.
 Determine whether all standards are written by same
person
 Examine the standard handwritings.
 Examine the individual handwriting characteristics of
standards and questioned exemplar.
 Weigh the points of similarities and points of
dissimilarities
 Subject the questioned handwriting to a microscopic
examination
