PS. About the forged 3x5 card being such a lousy forgery attempt, and the thought she might have been attempting to forge the originals.
1. The was allowed to keep evidence in her cell. She had TA's journals. She might well have had copies of the 10 forged letters in her cell as well.
2. It would have been worse for her if she did NOT have copies of the forged letters to access, but let's say she even had that advantage.
3. For anyone, as in, anyone at all back then to believe the originals had magically been located, her second set of forgeries would have had to look IDENTICAL to the PDF versions Nurmi had, and that he had months earlier disclosed to JM and to the Court.
4. The fact that the handwriting on the card found did so little resemble TA's suggests another possible conclusion (along with the fact the card bore no date, salutation, or signature): that she did in fact smuggle out the contents of the letters one card at a time, and that no instructions were necessary, since the cards bore the content of what she wanted/needed in the letters, and last, that she did have an accomplice on the outside, one who did cut and paste and copy then scan the letters into PDF files.
One version of possibilities.
(WS blinked out, lost what I was typing, blinked in and plopped part of it into a reply to this last question of yours).
Yes, she was allowed evidence in her cell, but no, she would not have dared alter evidence. She likely had copies of his journals and whatever else, not the originals, but even if the system was crazy enough to give original evidence to a lying liar on trial in a DP case, JM would have copies (or access to the originals) and would have known if she wanted in fact to beg for the DP by altering evidence.

But can she take the journals to her cell? Where she can rip out pages or add something in or more?
