Court Decisions, Endorsements

Decision of the Montana Supreme Court decided September 6th, 2005 (pdf file)
Case regarding many threatening anonymous letters sent to a school, church, law enforcement personnel and letters sent to many citizens. Blanco was witness for the State.
"The letters were vicious and lascivious, gory and disturbed, and twisted and disgusting. Some of the letters contained adult pornography and sexually explicit and threatening messages reminiscent of horror films." (from page 4 of the decision)

Court Decision dated October 19, 2004:
Probate matter concerning a forged Trust in an attempt to change the CalPERS Beneficiary Designation-
"The signatures which appear on the document are not those of the decedent. The purported trust is therefore invalid and the attempt to substitute Son for Wife as decedent's designated beneficiary of his CalPERS retirement account is a nullity.
This factual finding is based primarily on the testimony of James A. Blanco, a qualified questioned document examiner...The opinion of Mr. Blanco, alone, was sufficient to establish that the questioned signatures of decedent were not valid."
