Oswald's Light-Colored Jacket

They picked the guy with the bruised face.

That was easy.

So none of the other guys had any bruises? cite?

No bruises or gashes on any of these guys' eyes, either.

Exactly how long do you feel that a bruise should linger?

That photo you posted of the lineup participants was taken over five and a half months after the lineups.

I'm not arguing that any of the lineup participants actually had a bruise on their face, even though it can't be ruled out.  But, what does posting a photo of the participants taken almost six months later do to prove how these men looked on 11/22/63?  Please explain.

So now your number isn't close after all.

You're not bluffing, are you?

What on Earth are you blathering about?
Here is my original post.

Yep the chances that Markham would pick a particular random person out of four is obviously 1 in 4, then we have another 5 eyewitnesses who all had an equal chance of 1 in 4 of picking some random dude therefore when totalled means that for all the 6 eyewitnesses to choose the same random guy is close to astronomical!

A small number < "close to astronomical" < astronomical.

Hahahaha, when was the CE1054 taken?

I would expect them to have in a fair lineup.

Do you have photos of the lineups?

I would expect them to have in a fair lineup.

So you made a statement which you had no way of knowing is true, awesome!

Do you have photos of the lineups?

Unbelievable!

JohnM

Mid-May of '64.

So, in an attempt to suggest evidence contamination (fibers found inside the bag being a match to the blanket fibers), we have Iacoletti posting a photo of the bag and blanket in contact with each other which was taken three days AFTER the bag was analyzed and the fibers were found inside the bag and studied by Stombaugh.

Now, we have Iacoletti posting a photo of Clark, Perry and Ables (the lineup participants along with Oswald) taken almost six months after the lineups were conducted in an attempt to show that these three men didn't have visible bruises on 11/22/63.

Nuts.

[John Mytton]

Why a sudden need to introduce "a small number"?

No offence but since you didn't understand the concept the first couple of times I tried to dumb it down a little.

[John Mytton]

Do you find my proposition unreasonable?

What, that they all picked the man with the bruises, yes I find that totally unreasonable.

These eyewitnesses were just average people like you and me, and I know for certain that I would not just pick the man with the bruises and I'm sure that 6 of my family or friends would act exactly the same, why would anybody want to send anyone to the electric chair just because they had a bruise, are you for real?
Now I ask you "an average person" would you just pick the an innocent man with a bruise and would your Best Friend, Brother, Sister, Mom or Dad just pick the innocent guy with a bruise, I sincerely hope not.

And even if Oswald was the only man with a bruise which I suspect may have been the case what's the answer? I think the Geneva convention or whatever applicable law prohibits the use of force to create matching injuries.
