Gloria Allred, the attorney for Roy Moore accuser Beverly Young Nelson, says she won’t permit an inspection of her client’s high school yearbook unless the Senate conducts a hearing on Nelson’ charge that Moore tried to rape her. The yearbook is important because Nelson and Allred presented it as evidence that Moore knew Nelson and had a romantic interest in her.
Moore’s camp has provided reason to believe that he did not sign Nelson’s yearbook. The lawyer for his campaign notes that Moore presided over Nelson’s divorce case in 1999. He says Moore’s clerk stamped the divorce papers with the judge’s signature and added her initials — “DA.”
Those same initials appear by Moore’s name in the yearbook inscription Nelson and Allred adduced, even though Moore was not a DA at the time in question. In addition, the “7s” that appear in the date near the signature appear to be written differently from those that appear elsewhere in the inscription. The inference is that Nelson doctored the yearbook.
To test this theory, Moore’s camp has asked that the yearbook be produced so its handwriting expert can examine it. Among others things, an examination might reveal whether the ink used for the signature dates back to the period when Nelson was a teenager, as opposed to when she became a divorcee.
If Nelson did not doctor the yearbook, she should be eager to have it inspected in order to refute Moore’s claim, backed by evidence, that he did not sign the yearbook. In addition, production of the yearbook would clearly help the voters of Alabama get at the truth.
But Allred is stonewalling. To be sure, she hasn’t flatly refused to produce the yearbook. However, she has set an impossible condition for its production before the Alabama Senate election.
That condition, as noted, is a Senate hearing on allegations against Moore. The Senate isn’t going to hold a hearing about the conduct of a mere candidate, and Allred knows it.
By withholding the yearbook at least until after the election, she increases the likelihood that Moore will lose. This, I suspect, is one of her purposes — and her client’s, as well.
Allred isn’t just stonewalling on production of the yearbook. In her television appearances, she won’t say that the signature on the yearbook is Moore’s. She won’t even say whether Moore presided over Nelson’s divorce.
Here, for what it’s worth, is what I suspect happened. Moore did write a note in Nelson’s yearbook, but did not sign it (a prudent decision). When Nelson decided to accuse Moore of rape, she added Moore’s signature, using her divorce paper.
Allred now realizes that her client committed a huge blunder — one that undermines, if not destroys, her credibility. Hence, the stonewalling.
Allred is banking on Moore withdrawing from the race or losing it. In that case, there won’t be a Senate hearing — the condition she set for producing the yearbook.
Moore, though, may sue Nelson. In that event, it’s possible that Nelson might have to produce the yearbook. There’s nothing Allred can do about this, but she can prevent the hole Nelson has dug from getting deeper. To claim, at this juncture, that Moore signed the yearbook would, if my suspicion is correct, deepen the hole.
Assuming that Nelson doctored the yearbook, does this mean her allegation of attempted rape is false? No. But it does seriously damage the case for believing this allegation.
If Nelson “embellished” Moore’s yearbook inscription, we should have little confidence that she hasn’t embellished her story of what transpired between the two.
To be sure, other serious allegations have been lodged against Moore by other women. They provide Alabamans with plenty of reason not to want to vote for him.
But I wonder whether, if Nelson is shown to have doctored the yearbook, Alabama voters will see Moore as a victim and choose to credit him over those who are making the most serious allegations.
She knows it’s fake and knew it from the beginning. But she will claim she was lied to. Hopefully Nelson will be on the hot seat and give Allred up to save her butt.
Game, set, match.
I think that's based on the belief that the rest of it checks out as Moore's hand writing. Whether that's true I don't know.
If Moore loses and Allred continues to refuse to produce it (or does produce it and it’s fake) he’ll sue for millions. Actually he should sue even if he wins.
He’ll also try to get her disbarred but probably fail, since the California bar is likely wall to wall leftist psychos.
Wangety-tong ! Over just like that.
The leftist femino-nazi atty does NOT have any evidence!
Libel suit leads to discovery, which leads to Game Over

Which may lead to “lost/disappeared” yearbook.
What do we want?
Yearbook!
When do we want it?
Now!

To be sure, other serious allegations have been lodged against Moore by other women. They provide Alabamans with plenty of reason not to want to vote for him.
That is the woman that says Judge Moore groped her when she was 14. The same year he called her on her bedroom phone, when she did not have a phone in the bedroom. The same one that admitted doing drugs, lots of boyfriends, and lies from 14 to 16.
There are not “serious” allegaitons against more.
Questionable, political allegations, yes. Serious, no.
She DID say Ray and had to correct herself and say Roy. That indicates she knew some guy named Ray signed it and the “Moore DA” was added later.
If Moore’s attorney doesn’t make a HUGE deal out of this EVERY SINGLE DAY between now and the election, and seek to get a judge somewhere to DEMAND the yearbook be turned over or Allred face obstruction and/or fraud charges, THEN MOORE’S ATTORNEY IS WORKING FOR TEAM SOROS AS WELL.
FRAUDIAN SLIP!
“Yeah that was a bit strange. It is interesting to see how people think .. or not think. Whoever wrote the note likely signed their name as Roy as the note and Roy are in the handwriting and ink.”
Others have said it looks more like “Ray”, and there was a Ray in her class. It looks like just the last name was added. Adding the DA was the tip-off.
Allred is a legal whore, nothing less, nothing more. If Roy Moore sues her and her client for defamation and slander, they will have to produce the yearbook, period.
If they don’t Allred could be held in contempt of court and sent to jail. That might cause her to lose her law license, something she (her superego) couldn’t live with.
Interrogatories, Depositions and Discovery are powerful weapons in the hands of a pissed off former experience judge, and in this case, Moore is more, Allred is less, in the right.
If Allred loses, so do a lot of other ambulance chasers including Lisa Bloom, Mark Geragos, the ghost of Johnny Cochran, and some other bottom-dwelling legal scum.
The legal profession would smell better and be better off without them.
Gloria, you legal slut - your time is about up and so is your law license.
Forensic chemical analysis of the ink for composition and retained solvent fraction should help pinpoint the age of the writing.
“Sadly, some here have called for the Governor to try to dump Moore. Stupid. “
Governor Ivey just announced today that she’s voting for Moore, because no matter the circumstances, we need a Republican in that seat. THAT IS the correct answer to all of this.
