In reply to the discussion: Kennedy's assassination: Conspiracy or lone killer, I think the fact that we even ask the question [View all]Zen Democrat
(5,901 posts)He upfront states that they were never able to put "Oswald in that window with that gun." And he doubted Oswald could have been convicted in a trial. He also stated his belief that shots were fired from the knoll, because that's where all the people on the street said the shots came from.
And the Dallas doctors, to a man, said that the head wound in the back of Kennedy's head was an exit wound.
The rifle was NOT tied to Oswald ... the gun was supposedly shipped to a P. O. Box, which was against the law. The supposed money-order sent for the supposed rifle purchase, supposedly to Klein's Sporting Goods, was never cashed. There are no banking institution stamps on the back. Not one. There should have been three. And, Klein's Sporting Goods only sold 36" Mannlicher-Carcano rifles. They never purchased anything but 36" rifles ever. The supposed murder weapon was a 40". Nobody has ever been able to explain this.
The "partial print" on the gun was found AFTER Oswald was murdered; it wasn't there before he died. No fibers from his shirt were found on the rifle. The paraffin test on Oswald's cheeks showed that he did NOT fire a rifle. Preliminary comments from the Dallas Police said the tests were positive. They were not.
Eyewitness testimony is considered the strongest evidence in a court of law. At least 80 eyewitnesses gave testimony to the FBI that the shots were fired from the elevated grassy area, behind the picket fence. The closest witnesses all say that. A woman standing by the Book Depository grabbed a policeman and told him to go to the knoll area. She heard nothing from the book depository.
You are repeating a lot of early police comments that turned out to not be true. Just like Bill O'Reilly did in "Killing Kennedy." Pitiful book with absolutely no research or scholarship involved in the writing thereof.
As to the photographs, that one is so old that the beard on it has a beard. I can look at those photographs and see that Oswald's head has been photographically grafted onto the body of someone else. Oswald did not have a square chin. He also did not have a mangled left hand. The negative cut-out was found in police files many years later.
I don't know where you are getting the information you are so adamant about, but it's outdated by nearly 50 years.
