Yes, and it happens more often than most defendants expect. Handwriting identification is an opinion field, not an exact science, and courts now require experts to show reliable methodology under the Daubert standard. If the State's examiner used too few comparison samples, worked from poor copies, or cannot articulate an error rate, we move to exclude the opinion or limit it. Independent defense experts frequently reach different conclusions, and juries who hear a battle of experts often default to reasonable doubt. We also cross-examine examiners on their training, certification, prior testimony, and the subjective nature of letter-by-letter comparisons. A handwriting case that looked airtight in the police report regularly looks very different once the expert has to defend the opinion in open court, and that shift is where many forgery cases get reduced or dismissed.
