Moore Campaign Says Yearbook Signature Could Be Fake
Officials with Roy Moore’s campaign late Wednesday afternoon denied the sexual assault claims of his latest accuser, Beverly Nelson Young. Campaign Chairman Bill Armistead said Moore doesn’t recall ever signing Nelson Young’s high school yearbook. Nelson Young presented the yearbook as evidence in a press conference earlier this week to show Moore was a regular customer at the restaurant where she worked as a teen.
Moore attorney Phillip Jauregui demanded the signature in the yearbook be analyzed.
“We’ll send it to a neutral custodian, we’ll keep chain of custody, and our professional expert will examine it and we’ll find out is it genuine or is it a fraud,” Jauregui says.
Moore was the presiding judge in Nelson Young’s divorce case in Etowah County in the 1990s. Campaign officials say it’s possible Nelson Young faked the signature from paperwork left over from the divorce case.
Moore did not attend the press conference. Neither Armistead nor Jauregui took questions from the media.
