Lack Of Damage To CE-399

That's a BS argument. Since when is somebody who has no recollection of something "the better witness"?

Bardwell Odum had no recollection of handling CE-399 four decades prior. How should we categorize him? "The better witness" or not?

Actually, Odum denied ever having in his possession bullet CE399 or showing it to anyone, which is a far cry from having no recollection. But I don't care how you want to categorize Odum.
Tomlinson was pretty clear that he was only shown a bullet by an FBI agent once (he said it twice, if I remember correctly) and that was by Shanklin about a week after the murder.
Tim Nickerson:
--- Quote from: Andrew Mason on January 27, 2019, 12:47:32 AM ---Why would you conclude that? I have already shown that in order to make a 3cm elliptical entrance wound the bullet just has to strike at an angle of about 75 degrees.

You haven't though. You claimed that a pristine bullet striking at an angle x to the perpendicular to the surface will make an elliptical entrance wound whose length to width is in proportion to:1/cos x. You haven't shown where you came up with that. Even still, with using it, the length of the entrance wound would be 3.86 cm.
1/cos75? = 3.86

So it's your position that what it says in CE2011 is the same as it says in SAC Shanklin's airtel?

Yes.

Then I understand why you don't understand what the problem is.
