Corrected entry: There is no point to having the students give an in-person sample of their handwriting, because any one of them could alter their writing if they wanted to. It would make more sense to collect previous examples, like homework. And anyway, the original graffiti was made with spray paint and was in very large text, both of which would affect a person's handwriting style and make finding a match very difficult.

Corrected entry: When Donnie and Gretchen are on Carpathian Ridge talking about Grandma Death, Donnie appears to sit down on the green couch behind him. In the long shot of them both, he's sitting in a normal chair with a high back; even if he had sat down in the chair, the back still would have been visible.
Correction: He is sitting on the couch, but the angle of the chair and the fact that he is sitting crooked make it sort of look like he is in the chair in the long shot. The depth is off, though.

Correction: The point of the handwriting sample here has less to do with matching the handwriting and more to do with watching how each student reacts to being under the eye of the police. If they react in a suspicious manner, the cops will examine those students further. They circle Donnie's name based on behavior, not handwriting.
