Roy Moore accuser alters story on yearbook signing, to hold press conference

Could it get more...interesting?

Source: AL.com, by Paul Gattis

Beverly Young Nelson, the former Gadsden waitress who presented her high school yearbook she said was signed by Roy Moore, altered the story she originally told regarding the yearbook signature.

In an interview Friday with ABC's Good Morning America, Nelson said she made some notes in the yearbook below where Moore signed it. Underneath Moore's alleged signature is a date and location that Nelson said Moore signed the yearbook - "12-22-77" and on the next line "Olde Hickory House," the restaurant where Nelson worked and she said Moore was a frequent customer.

Nelson will hold a press conference Friday afternoon in Atlanta. According to a press release from the office of her attorney, Gloria Allred, expert evidence that Moore signed the yearbook will be presented.

Moore, the Alabama Senate Republican nominee, has repeatedly denied knowing Nelson or signing her yearbook or attempted to sexually assault her as she has claimed.

Titled

Roy Moore accuser admits she forged part of yearbook inscription attributed to Alabama senate candidate.
The story itself states she admits "making notes" to the signature but never discusses which parts she admitted adding and which were Moore's. In other words, another completely misleading story from FoxNews.

Was Roy Moore as well. The signature is a match for the scrapbook signature for the woman who was 17.

...She's now going to be fighting an uphill, possibly futile battle at this point.

...Now this racist-ass buffoon will almost certainly defeat Jones so we threw the baby out with the bathwater by running the bus over Franken.

I swear, sometimes we're our own worst enemies...

I don't see how that's exculpatory. I do see how his supporters will make political hay out of it.

unless Moore claims that he signed it for her once she was older which is ridiculous.

You will never know for sure that she was in the car with Moore and whether Moore became physical with her, but you do know that sometime around the time this annual came out Moore gave a personal message and signed it.

Since Moore claims to not even know her, he is obviously lying. It would be interesting to know when she actually annotated the yearbook (age of ink?). Anything that puts the annotation back a year or more (and probably more likely it is contemporary with the signing) means that it is just there to remember.
