The key to detecting a forgery is that each object contains evidence about the time and place of its creation. The two approaches of stylistic analysis and technical analysis are complementary, and they are best used in conjunction.
How do you fight a forgery case?
The prosecution must prove that you forged a document with the intent to deceive someone or commit fraud. One of the best ways to defend against forgery charges and prove that fraud was not the intent is by challenging the prosecutions evidence.
How do you prove a forgery case?
