Open letter to STAT and Christopher Morales

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>DD</b><p>It looks like Morales himself has posted there. What other parasite would post in his defense?<br /><br />Also, why haven't we seen an outpouring of "forensic" authenticators? If this type of skill was needed, wouldn't every authentication company hire one? And what exactly is done "forensically" to determine if an autograph is real that PSA/DNA or JSA, or Richard Simon or Jodi Birkholm wouldn't do? I'm sure all of them know that even if a Babe Ruth signature looked perfect, with old fountain pen ink, but was signed on laser copier paper, that it's a fake. <br /><br />Where does the real forensic community stand on this issue? Afterall, it is one of their dearest members being vilified in a national newspaper. My bet is they don't care because 1) it's not an issue that comes up enough, and 2) Morales is so far down the forensic world food chain that Jeffery Deaver could probably discredit him in court in 3 seconds.<br /><br />
