Moore accuser admits she wrote part of infamous note

Beverly Nelson admitted on Friday that she wrote part of the high school yearbook inscription used as proof in her accusations against Roy Moore.

Beverly Young Nelson, the ex-waitress who alleged the Alabama politician groped her when she was just 16 years old, told ABC News on Friday that she added both the date and place to the then-30-something Moore's inscription.

Her notes read "12-22-77" and "Olde Hickory House," which was the restaurant Nelson reportedly worked at and where she said the GOP Senate candidate once frequented. Nelson and her famed attorney, Gloria Allred, later presented the note as evidence in court that Moore sought an inappropriate relationship with her in the 1970s.

However, Nelson has also insisted that Moore still wrote the majority of the message and signed it.

It doesn't matter if it can be proven she wrote those parts five seconds after he signed the book, this will be "proof" all of his accusers are lying.

I fear Moore just won...

1. She added the date of the signing and the place...

3. Which shouldn't matter

If the scales of justice were balanced, unfortunately there is a elephantine thumb resting on one side

9. Looks like she added "Moore" and "D.A." as well.

Different handwriting and different hue ink.

13. Not sure how you can tell that about the ink

But there was a posting a few weeks ago when this story first broke that showed Moore's signature on a court document from a few years after he signed the yearbook. To my untrained amateur eye, I noticed that the "R" in Roy and the "M" in Moore have retained their distinctive characteristics: The upper loop in the "R" is elongated and flattened, stretch out to the right, and the "M" has a shorter first hump. The "D.A." notation fits with Moore's inflated self-image, so that everyone knows he's a big shot.

I don't think the notation changes the fact that Roy Moore knew this girl when she was 14, and for some reason felt compelled to sign her high school yearbook. In comparing the yearbook photos of Nelson and the other girl in her class that Moore eventually married, the resemblance between the two girls is striking. I tend to credit Nelson's account.

14. Other pics show it a little clearer.

Here's one example.



Really, what's the point? Whether she faked a little bit of the signature or a lot of it, her story is tainted.

15. I find that picture unpersuasive

There's a definite shadow line about a quarter of the way down. Nelson has said that she added the date and the place, and the handwriting of those two lines looks consistent to me. But Moore's last name is in cursive, not printed, and consistent with other examples of his signature on subsequent court documents.

I don't see her story as being tainted at all by her adding the exact date and place below the inscription. (Note that Moore himself wrote "Christmas 1977" above his signature.)

2. And now, Gloria Allred is going to make it worse by holding a press conference about it

She really needs to go away with her self-promoting self - she taints everything she touches.

4. Well played Gillenbrand!

They'll say; SEE, Roy was innocent, but not Al Franken!

The pedophile wins and Al Franken is out! BRILLIANT!

[Egnever]

6. And they will have the cover of the gross over reaction by our party to hide behind.

Shouldn't he get a chance to defend himself look at what the Dems did to Franken on flimsy evidence is that how you want the country to run guilty until proven innocent.

Once again we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

So tired of it.

7. You and me both. Many on DU are better political strategist!

5. The payoff, everybody

Awesome.

[budkin]

8. Welp, now Jones is officially toast

I swear Gloria Allred is incompetent.

[BannonsLiver]

10. It's in Allred's best interest if Moore wins.

I doubt she gives a shit about anything else but that. If Moore loses the story goes away.

11. No, Roy Moore accuser didn't admit she forged his signature in her yearbook

12. That's not good, but don't think anyone has retracted stories about RM being banned from malls, and

Moore being known to police in Gadsden as attracted to young -- like, very young -- women. To me, that is evidence that only an ignorant white wing racist would attempt to dispute.
