Peter Tytell
Peter Tytell is a forensic document examiner (Tytell & Tytell) whose role in the MJ-12 story is structurally unusual: he was engaged at Stanton Friedman's own request — that is, by an advocate — and concluded that the documents were faked [S1].
His finding is cited chiefly by Philip J. Klass. Friedman's published response addresses a different, CIA-linked examiner and does not engage Tytell by name, leaving the examiner-of-record effectively unaddressed by the side that retained him [S1].
Set against him is James A. Black, retained by Robert M. Wood and Ryan S. Wood, who concluded on 13 November 1998 that a Truman letter was likely typed on an Underwood Standard — a different machine identification from the Smith Corona named in skeptical analyses. No source located reconciles the two examiners [S1].
