CT's, in court how would you defend Oswald?

[Thomas Graves]

Thanks Charles.  Does Brennan see this guy?

Probably when the sniper stood up, Iacoletti.

Question:  Could Brennan have seen "the full length of the barrel"?

I think so.

No, that's not what I mean.
I think he was saying he saw the man sitting before JFK reached DP.
However he's clear about what he said he saw when the shots were fired at JFK.

Mr. BELIN. Then what did you observe or hear?
Mr. BRENNAN. Well, then something, just right after this explosion, made me think that it was a firecracker being thrown from the Texas Book Store. And I glanced up. And this man that I saw previous was aiming for his last shot.
Mr. BELIN. This man you saw previous? Which man are you talking about now?
Mr. BRENNAN. The man in the sixth story window.
Mr. BELIN. Would you describe just exactly what you saw when you saw him this last time?
Mr. BRENNAN. Well, as it appeared to me he was standing up and resting against the left window sill, with gun shouldered to this right shoulder, holding the gun with his left hand and taking positive aim and fired his last shot. As I calculate a couple of seconds. He drew the gun back from the window as though he was drawing it back to his side and maybe paused for another second as though to assure hisself that he hit this mark, and then he disappeared. And, at the same moment, I was diving off of that firewall and to the right for bullet protection of this stone wall that is a little higher on the Houston side. [3H143-144]

Brennan may have thought the sniper was in a standing position while firing the final shot by mistakenly assuming that the bottom of the window was much higher off the floor than it really was.

He said in the affidavit from the 22nd the shooter let the rifle fall to his side and stepped back from the window after the final shot.

He's not assuming anything. He's stating what he allegedly saw.

One of a few things the WC got right was showing Brennan couldn't have seen what he said he saw.

Although they did selectively cull his testimony and used what they needed to support the "LN did it" official line.

Here's Brennan's view of the same first shot:

My analysis shows he had a shot still sitting on the box. And, yes he could see the full length of the barrel.

After the last shot, if the sniper had just sat straight up from his leaning forward shooting position, I believe that, from Brennan's position, he would have appeared to have stepped back and into the corner.

[Thomas Graves]

After the last shot, if the sniper had just sat straight up from his leaning forward shooting position, I believe that, from Brennan's position, he would have appeared to have stepped back and into the corner.

I don't believe the sniper was sitting on anything during the second and third shots, so his "sitting up" after the final shot makes no sense to me.

He was squatting or kneeling during those two shots, imho.

PS  Uh oh. I see T.S. is still cuttin'-and-pastin' together an entertainin' "post" for us, here.

Been workin' on it for at least twenty minutes ...

[John Iacoletti]

Here's Brennan's view of the same first shot:

Brennan only claimed to see a guy aiming for the head shot.  Is this person in your model accurately placed for the head shot?

Also, how does Brennan identify this guy's height, weight, and clothing?  Or see him from the belt up?
