Did Moore confirm he knew this girl & wrote in her year book?

[o-n-money]

If he really wrote that, it proves he wrote that. What else is there? BTW-What high school publishes their yearbook in December?

While the analysis may be correct, the “analyst” is no more a handwriting expert than I am. And I’m not one.

[oincobx]

What’s kind of funny about this is that there was a thread earlier where folks were arguing it was a forgery because it matched too closely to a current Roy Moore signature.

[TomGuy]

The “oor” in Moore is also different.

[Williams]

I did think the printed name of the restaurant was odd.

[bkopto]

If the signature is forged, someone REALLY doesn’t want Moore in the Senate. I’m looking at you, turtle.

It looks like the “smoking gun” just turned into an exploding cigar. I hope Roy’s team fights back hard on this.

[GnuThere]

To me the bottom date and “Olde Hickory House” look like something the owner of the yearbook would have written.
It doesn’t look the same at all.

[Sacajaweau]

The real problem is....The Note is addressed to No One....and it looks like 3 people have had their hand in this. Note also the smudges on the page.

[Salvation]

One down and how many to go?

[Revel]

So some send the photo of the signature to a forensic document examiner. The examiner could also collect known writing samples of Moore from the time. I imagine court records are full of them. These examiners are experts who will quickly get to the truth.

We need a FR connected handwritting expert..someone has to know of someone...ASAP...We can take the lead just like when we brought down Dan Rather.

This is a link to his bio Roy Moore served as DEPUTY D. A. not D. A.

[octex]

Look at the “M”s in the word ‘Merry’ and the name ‘Moore’.

The one in his signature is rounded at the top, whereas the one in Merry is not.

[Deplorable American1776]

I wonder who is paying Gloria AllCommie (aka Allred)? I bet all of these ladies don’t have the money for that witch.

[trebb]

Have to admit - it sure looks like a fake signature was added - why use “1977” in the missive and then a xx-xx-xx format in the signature?

[SamuraiScot]

I don't know Moore's usual handwriting, but it looks to me that the the handwriting in the signature, etc., don't match the message. The tails on the "y," the style and angle of the lower-case letters "r" and "o" seem mutually consistent. And the difference between the "7" styles could be the difference between writing quickly above and more deliberately below.

But so what? It's a routine message you would write in an autograph in a restaurant to a cute girl you didn't know very well. There's nothing creepy about it. And I don't find 40-year-old memories particularly credible, nor do I find the accusations, even if true, to be particularly serious--given that they obviously were not followed by a criminal career like that of, say, Clinton or Menendez. Just a multi-decade marriage.

Ride on, Judge! Drive the swamp crazy!
