Gloria Allred, the attorney for Roy Moore accuser Beverly Young Nelson, says she wont permit an inspection of her clients 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.
Moores camp has provided reason to believe that he did not sign Nelsons yearbook. The lawyer for his campaign notes that Moore presided over Nelsons divorce case in 1999. He says Moores clerk stamped the divorce papers with the judges signature and added her initials DA.
Those same initials appear by Moores 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, Moores 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 Moores 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 hasnt 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 isnt 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 clients, as well.
Allred isnt just stonewalling on production of the yearbook. In her television appearances, she wont say that the signature on the yearbook is Moores. She wont even say whether Moore presided over Nelsons divorce.
Here, for what its worth, is what I suspect happened. Moore did write a note in Nelsons yearbook, but did not sign it (a prudent decision). When Nelson decided to accuse Moore of rape, she added Moores 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 wont be a Senate hearing the condition she set for producing the yearbook.
Moore, though, may sue Nelson. In that event, its possible that Nelson might have to produce the yearbook. Theres 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 Moores yearbook inscription, we should have little confidence that she hasnt 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.
Not weighing in on this just gotta say, the only important famous person to me in 1977 was Jackson Browne
A DA means what to a 16 year old girl
That alone makes this bogus
I really admire people like Trump and Moore who show tenacity and fight back when attacked.
People with backbone and integrity make this country stronger.
Yes it is!
What right does Allred have to demand a senate investigation? Is Moore a congressman yet? Can any shyster lawyer “demand” a congressional investigation into anyone at anytime? Why would lawmakers even take on this case? Cuz Gloria “demanded” it.? I demand Gloria cease to breathe. This bitch is due for a huge smackdown.
Can they be that stupid?
And there is now way in hell she will make the accuser available for a question and answer TV appearance like Moore has gone through
The signature looks like Ray to me.
It also looks like the signature was added to a pre-existing inscription.
The latest news verifies the yearbook signature is a fraud. As it happens, Nelson’s divorce decree was stamped with Moore’s signature followed by “/ D.A.”
Well, well, well. “/D.A.” turns out to mean Debra Albers, Moore’s assistant.
Oh, Oh.
Which means someone copied Roy Moore’s name and his assistant’s initials thinking they meant district attorney. Roy Moore would not add his assistant’s initials to his signature. Laughable and argument killing.
That's old age...the mind accepts an error because it would normally be correct but it isn't correct for this "forged" signing.
And I'm betting that Gloria said..."If it's a forgery, I don't want to know".
And I bet there's an agreement that Gloria assumes no liability.
The initials are also in a different style from his signature.
Pretty easy to find paperwork with his writing back then.
Allred practices a religion where they don’t believe there is a hell, so they do things like this that a Christian wouldn’t dare to.
So here she was...rolled out of the car and was pushed onto a dirty parking area...and she watched him peel rubber. And what does she remember the best?? He was wearing brown hush puppies.
Like her brother said...she's probably looking for money.
Strange that no one from the restaurant has stepped to the plate.
WHY?
Because if they say anything against her, libel, slander comes to mind. Why take a chance.
Why not get a copy of the yearbook from the school and find out if this woman was even IN IT that year , since she seems to be lying about her age, and the yearbook that Gloria Allred showed had what appeared to be pictures CUT OUT of another yearbook and pasted onto a collage looking page of various students?
I agree with what you say but help an old man out. I am keep a list of BS from all these people and I need some help with your following statement. “She said she got her book about a month after she turned 16 on Nov 14 1977. Does that make sense since the 1977 school year ended 5 months earlier.”
The part about when she got her book. That would mean she got her book for 1977 in 1978 5 months after the 77 school year ended that is odd? This also means she was born around 1961. How old is Nelson’s mother?
It seems that Nelson also did not see Moore sign the year book at a restaurant that was not open until 2001 in that area. problem the signature, 2colors of ink,7s are different, Old has no e on end, writing style different
If Allred wants to prove her point and end Moore campaign right then and there turn the book over to experts to look at. This senate review is nothing but bullshit. Not releasing the book there is a 90% chance it it fake Maybe Allred and Nelson should hear the words see your ass in court. It is sad McConnell may win this.

Waiting for the ethics committee = stalling until after the election.
Someone had mentioned an ad on Monday Jan 2nd 1978.
So I went back and checked all the Monday ads for September, October, November, December.
I found none in September or October.
But on November 14 1977, I found one and it says....."Introducing" at the top. None of the other ads after that say that.
And she said she worked till 7 or 10. She said she got out of work, her boyfriend was late and after the incident, she had no way to call him. "My shift ended at 10 pm when the restaurant closed."
Except.....EVERY ad said the restaurant closed at 11 PM. and listed the address as 307 E Meighan
There are ads in the Gladsen Gazette in 1977 and 1978 for the “Olde” Hickory House.
