What Say You, Ms Allred?

I have no dog in the Roy Moore hunt. I don't know if he is guilty or innocent of the charges levied against him during his campaign. But I think that the admission by one of the women involved that she added her own writing to an alleged inscription Moore wrote in her yearbook decades ago (1977)  greatly damages the overall case against Moore.

It should be pointed out that when Moore's attorney asked for the original yearbook so that handwriting experts could compare it with known original Moore signatures, the woman's attorney, none other than Gloria Allred, the infamous ambulance chaser of Los Angeles, refused to hand it over.



Not that the inscription is scandalous in itself. It is innocuous. Nelson has now admitted that she added the date, "DA", and Olde Hickory House to the inscription. (Moore denies knowing the lady.)
It may not change the facts of the allegation-that Moore sexually assaulted her, but it seems strange that this is just coming out. Didn't the brilliant barrister Allred know that with the writing being challenged, this little detail could discredit Ms Nelson's overall claims? When did she learn of this? Furthermore, who is her handwriting expert and what documents  did he use for comparison? Were they original documents?

The odds of Mr Moore winning the senatorial race in Alabama just went up. We still don't know the truth, but this could be a Mark Furman moment. Ask the OJ Simpson prosecutors what happens to your overall case when one of your star witnesses is caught in a lie.
