The document examiner was certain of it."
"Well, I don't agree," Jane spoke sharply. "I, for one,
didn't find that document examiner particularly convincing."
"How can you say that?" Anuse blurted. "She had impeccable credentials.
She's allowed to testify in court. Never been refused, she said.
Mark told us that handwriting is as exact and individual as fingerprints."
"I'm not convinced," returned Jane. "She had no independently researched
data on her success vs failure ratio. You heard her say, `in her opinion,'
she was 100% correct. Bull. Nobody's perfect."
Glancing at the two other women, Henry observed them nodding
their heads in agreement. Trenchant had made some other good
points, he thought. She picked up on the lack of original
standards and cited that rule in the faculty handbook that
forbade an individual's personnel file from being revealed to
others without the individual's permission. Damn the woman.
This hearing was supposed to be a lead pipe cinch and all it had
been so far was trouble. I'd better call for Mark to come over
and talk to them. Perhaps even have him testify. Mark could say
the right things to bring the women around.
