One of the women accusing Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore of assaulting her as a teenager said on Friday she added the date and venue to an inscription from Moore in her high school yearbook, prompting attacks on her credibility and the competence of her lawyer, Gloria Allred. Many conservatives accused the attorney of mishandling the situation and claimed she'd essentially handed victory to Moore just four days before the election.
Beverly Young Nelson told ABC News she amended an inscription from Moore in her high school yearbook, adding the date and location. Nelson maintained the rest of the note was written by Moore, though he and his lawyers have repeatedly stated he did not sign the yearbook. The inscription states: "To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say Merry Christmas. Christmas 1977. Love, Roy Moore, DA. 12-22-77 Olde Hickory House."
In November, Nelson claimed Moore attempted to force her to perform a sex act when she was a teenager in the 1970s and he was the deputy district attorney of Etowah County and in his 30s. She offered the yearbook inscription as evidence to bolster her accusation. At the time, Nelson and her lawyer, Allred, said the inscription was written by Moore and did not mention that Nelson had added the date and location. But Nelson's acknowledgement she wrote part of the note somewhat contradicts that. Some have since claimed Nelson admitted she "forged" the inscription, but this is not the case.
Allred held a press conference on Friday and brought a report from forensic document expert that said the note and signature were written by Moore and said the date and location were written by Nelson to "remind herself who Roy Moore was." It was not clear from her comments when Nelson made those additions.

Well, yeah, that’s gotta be one of the top three reasons Moore will win. It’s like Jones has never met anyone from Alabama, and has no clue who the voters are. LOL
Agreed.OTOH nobody has accused a Republican named Roy Moore of any abuse in the 1970s.
Before 1992, Mr. Moore was a Democrat.
My wife says this case would have been thrown out of court for tampering with the evidence.
They only lied a little. Only part of it is a forgery. It was a genuine bond your honor. Only three of the zeros were forgeries. A small matter.
“My wife says this case would have been thrown out of court for tampering with the evidence.”
Good point.
Talk about a missed opportunity. Just kidding.
No he will win because he is a good honest man and his opponent is an under handed snake
The DA was undoubtedly added.
And, a person who traced over another person’s signature can say, “this IS his signature.” That’s different than saying “he personally signed this.”
No.
Roy Moore will win because Doug Jones is a revolting commie pinko.
All of a sudden "guilty until proven innocent" isn't so terrific.
This can only mean that Nelson wrote the whole thing. LOL.
There is another possibility. It has been speculated that the original was written by someone named “Ray.” Originally I discounted that, figuring it was either Moore or Nelson who wrote it. But TigerClaws made what I consider an incisive point.The text of the inscription (at least of the color of ink which matched “Merry Christmas”) is said to go,
You gotta admit, that is clunky. But if you read it “Ray” rather than “Roy” it is different."To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say Merry Christmas. Love, Roy I’m not saying it reminds me of Walt Whitman or anyone, but it is a rhyme."To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say Merry Christmas. Love, Ray And I confess that, to my eye, the script “ay” in “say” does not look all that different from the putative “oy” in “Roy.”
If indeed both parts of the inscription were written by the same person, I wonder if it was not indeed Nelson’s classmate Ray (and there is one, still living).
Bkmk
The SBVT were righteous and provided Kerry with much need Karma, but Rather’s exploding cigar was priceless!
Because the Senate is very tight 52-48. Several of the Republicans are squishy RINOs, and undependable.
President Trump is draining the swamp. If the Senate goes Democrat in 2018, his chances to do so drop dramatically.
A Democrat from Alabama increases the chance of stopping President Trump a great deal.
It's all about power.If the Rats can pull off stealing this very safe seat they'll control the Senate with the help of the "Never Trumpers" who call themselves Republicans.
If indeed both parts of the inscription were written by the same person, I wonder if it was not indeed Nelson’s classmate Ray Brooks
IIRC the Rats have about 20 seats to defend next year and,IIRC,about 10 of them are in states that DJT carried.
Exactly
This is about control of the RINOs who would impeach
