Corona to undergo court handwriting analysis for murder case
Juan Corona submitted to a court supervised handwriting analysis after a long prosecution demand. In Solano County Superior Court he provided samples including printed names from a ledger linked to 25 slain farm workers. The test aims to compare his writing with the ledger list found after bodies were unearthed near Yuba City. Authorities say the ledger lists seven victims and shows Corona’s connection to the case. He remains jailed at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, with trial moved from Sutter to Solano County for venue.
