Anything to avoid actually reading his testimony, huh

G' ahead, tell us what he testified about the shirt fibers found on the rifle

And yet when his presence in the front entrance during the Presidential parade is brought up, you cry, 'How come no one noticed him?!'  :D

Show testimony that places Oswald out front at any time during the motorcade

You said: ask Stombaugh

And I have read his testimony. Too bad there was no cross-examination.

You think a lot of things, don't you John.. such as how the 'fibers couldn't be dismissed as being from Oswald's shirt' remark somehow differs from your 'fibers that may or may not have come from Oswald's shirt'

A goodly number of these 'couldn't-be-dismissed/may-or-may nots' exist and are worthy of serious consideration, whether detractors like it or not.

I'm not sure what you think the probative value is of this, regardless of how you phrase it.

Sounds a whole lot like Dishonest John is alleging that Oswald's prints were planted on the rifle.

No, that's another "Richard Smith" strawman.  I'm stating the facts that prints were found near the trigger guard which were useless for identification purposes, and one partial palmprint on an index card that Latona received on November 29th was identified by Latona as Oswald's.

The whole tale about the palm print on the rifle is BS!....  Day thought that a smudge on the foregrip of the carcano might have been a palm print when he first spotted it in the TSBD at about 2:00pm that afternoon...   He knew that wood absorbs prints rapidly so he attempted to lift that smudge immediately....And Tom Alyea watched as he lifted the smudge and then placed the cellophane tape on a small (3 X5 index card) ....Day then jotted down the pertinent information ..."off underside of barrel near end of fore grip   on rifle c 2766" 

This is one giant Walt fabrication.

Quote
Later that night the 3 X5 card was sent along with the reast of the evidence to the FBI  ( It's listed on the evidence inventory list)   Some folks deny that it is listed on the list for 11/22/63  and delude themselves into believing that the "palm print" ( unidentifiable smudge) wasn't released to the FBI until 11/26/63.

But the list itself is solid evidence that it was created on 11/22/63 .......

No it isn't.  That particular evidence list is undated.
