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

[Gary Craig]

John Connally heard the first.  He knew for a fact that he was not hit by this shot.  He mistakenly assumed that the President was hit by this shot.

John Connally knew he was hit by the next shot.  He knew that the President was hit in the head by the final shot.  He knew that the President was hit only twice.  Since he mistakenly assumed that the President was hit by the first shot, he also mistakenly assumed that this second shot (which did hit him) did not hit the President.

The Zapruder film verifies that these two men were NOT hit by separate shots.

The Zapruder film gets interpreted to show whatever pet theory the proponent needs it to show.

John Connally's wife, Nellie, was sitting next to him in the Limo. She testified she heard the sound, saw JFK react to being hit before JBC was hit by and reacted to the second shot.

[Gary Craig]

Straw man.  Howard Brennan would not be called by the Prosecution.

You sure. Jerry Ford called him the most important witness.

[Gary Craig]

Do you mean film of many people running up the knoll AFTER every single vehicle in the motorcade has passed through?  How much time do you believe passed between the last shot and "many more people running up the grassy knoll"?


Marrion Baker is seen on film immediately running towards the front entrance of the building that deals with school books.

DECKER EXHIBIT No. 5323

-snip-

"As I heard the
first retort, I looked back over my shoulder and saw
what appeared to me to be a spray of water come out of
the rear seat of the President's car . At this same
moment, Mr. Lawson said, "Let's get out of here and
get to the nearest hospital". When I heard the shots
I noted motorcycle officers coming off their cycles
and running up the embankment on Dealey Plaza."

NE Corner when the presidential Motorcade came down Main to Houston, North on
Houston and then West on Elm. The cars had proceeded West on Elm and was
just a short distance from the Triple underpass, when I saw Gov Connelly
slump over . I did not see the president as his car had gotten out of my
view under the underpass . There was a volley of shots, I think five and then
much later, maybe as much as five minutes later another one . I saw one man
run towards the passenger cars on the railroad siding after the volley of shots.
This man had a white dress shirt, no tie and kahki colored trousers . His hair
appeared to be long and dark and his agility running could be about 25 yrs of
age. He had something in his hand."

President's car had just come up in front of me when I heard a shot
and saw the President slump down in the car and heard Mrs. Kennedy
say, "Oh, no" ., then a second shot and then I hit the ground as I
realized these were shots . Then all of the people started running
up the terrace away from the President's car and I got up and started
running also, not realizing what had happened . In just a few moments
the President's car sped off and everybody was just running around
towards the railroad tracks and I knew that they had somebody trapped
up there."

John Connally's wife, Nellie, was sitting next to him in the Limo. She testified she heard the sound, saw JFK react to being hit before JBC was hit by and reacted to the second shot.

Connally heard the first & third shots. The second one put him into shock. If you don't hear the shot that hits you, you're either dead or in shock.

Figure out how to engage your peripheral vision and you'll find that JFK/LBJ react simultaneously to the twofer.

What does that mean?
 
 

[Colin Crow]

The above doesn't lend itself to subscribing to this (below):

So Bonnie Ray Williams was not particularly close to Junior Jarman and Harold Norman, yet Jarman and Norman have a conversation with Williams designed to "protect" Williams from something related to the murder of the President of the United States of America.  That's difficult to get on board with.

Another drive-by Bill? Perhaps I should have said that Williams had not know the other two for as long as they had known each other. Does that explain their reluctance to depart from their mutual lie until after the visit of Belin and Ball to Dallas in March?

Bill Brown are you allergic to this lovely photo. Maybe you and Mytton get your info by way of horseback

Oh My God

Have you found

The Mastermind

E. Howard Hunt ...

... dressed up like a spy?

What, pray tell?

-- MWT 

Wow, next you'll be saying the whole Hunt family was there too.
Tom, was your daddy, uncle, auntie, brother or any other relative in the CIA.  It wouldn't surprise me, for two reasons. You defend the CIA like a kid whose favorite pro team is the Detroit Lions, maybe your one of Henry Ford's great-great-grandsons(daughters) The second reason is you just can't help yourself, every time you interject it is accompanied by CIA related talk. How would that help you? Well, like I just said, you just can't help yourself
