ISSUE:

Whether the legality and propriety of the Appellant's conviction on the uncorroborated testimony of the hand-writing expert valid?

RULE:

The opinion of a handwriting expert is not conclusive evidence; however, it may be deemed acceptable if supported by internal or external evidence related to the document in question that corroborates the expert's conclusions.

The court may also conduct its own comparison of handwriting to verify the expert's findings, provided the presiding officer is familiar with the language and writing style involved.
