I thought I read that Roy Moore did not graduate law school until 1977? That fall he may have become an assistant DA, but not a DA? The whole claim against Moore smells!
How many people become assistant district attorneys the very year they graduate from law school? I’m guessing...zero. My dad hired ADAs when he was elected D.A.; they were all experienced attorneys and their work was known to him. I cannot imagine him hiring some kid straight out of law school.
You’re right: this whole thing stinks. Add to it that Moore’s assistant’s initials were D.A., and that she apparently always used to initial documents just after his signature, and you can see how something is more than a little fishy.
The “DA” is the initials of Moore’s then legal secretary. The signature is a facsimile that she would attach to his legal documents.
Such was the instance involving the case of one of Moore’s accusers, in which he represented the accuser’s mother in a custody battle for a grandchild. The court found in favor of the mother, who was then awarded custody of her grandchild. There’s your motive.
