Having done a degree in linguistics, this is definitely something I'd like to specialise in.

Beautiful. I hope that eventually, EVERYTHING has a signature on it. I don't mind being looked over, as long as a killer gets what's coming to him. I wan't to work in Forensic's!!!

@vartotrad True. What you say brings up a good point. Although as the man indicated, the suspect ended up admitting that he himself wrote the letters. Thus, I still feel it provides an accurate and useful measure in solving cases such as these. It is true however that relates or classmates may write like that, which means that the forensic linguist needs to be that much more careful and do that much more research.

I understand that such evidence could suggest that a suspect is more likely to be guilty than other people with a different writing style, but I don't think that's enough to convict. It wasn't even about something very uncommon. Many people talk like the guy who got convicted. Who knows, maybe a number of people among his relatives or former classmates write like that, too.
