Frazier's rifle length estimate.

"specular highlights"

Thanks for bumping this thread, I saw Gary Craig looking but obviously he couldn't find the appropriate emoticon.

Seriously?

In the photo from Randles position from inside the garage we can easily see the specular highlights of the car beyond, the wall isn't solid but is made up of slats. The Commission exhibit that is posted is no better than a photocopy, was taken at a different time of day with what looks like a flash and even if we had a pristine original the contrast range of a camera photo is nowhere near that of the human eye.

As the camera which is level with the car bonnet approaches Frazier's car we can see through the slats that are below the horizontal plane of the camera and we know that Randle was looking down on the roof of the car in the garage so she would have a clear view of Frazier's car.


Like the slatted wall, the same principle can be observed with venetian blinds. In these more modern images the outside objects can be clearly made out and with the evidence we have, Randle's view would be similar.



Frazier reinforces his sister's testimony because he sees the package on the back seat of his car, SlaM DunK!

Mr. BALL - All right. When you got in the car did you say anything to him or did he say anything to you?
Mr. FRAZIER - Let's see, when I got in the car I have a kind of habit of glancing over my shoulder and so at that time I noticed there was a package laying on the back seat, I didn't pay too much attention and I said, "What's the package, Lee?"
And he said, "Curtain rods," and I said, "Oh, yes, you told me you was going to bring some today."
That is the reason, the main reason he was going over there that Thursday afternoon when he was to bring back some curtain rods, so I didn't think any more about it when he told me that.

Can anyone even see a car on the other side of this wall, much less whether somebody is opening a back door on the opposite side of the car?

"specular highlights".  LOL.

What's to argue, even in your horrible photocopy quality photo we can see through the slats.

It's not a solid wall, it has big holes in it!

Buell Frazier's estimate of the length of the package Oswald carried on 22 November 1963 is just that: An estimate!

It's not a measurement with a tape measure or ruler: It's a guess. Therefore, by definition, an estimate cannot be absolutely accurate. It just a matter of "how" inaccurate is Frazier's estimate.

What can you see on the other side of the slats, John?

Even in the poor photocopy quality exhibit, it's clear if someone was passing behind those slats you would see someone moving behind those slats and you would see them approach the rear of the car then you would hear the rear car door opening, it's not rocket science.

Btw you do realize that the garage wall at the Frazier residence wasn't a solid wall, and that along the length of the wall there were huge openings, you know holes that you can see through.

Interesting your reply to what could you see is you would "hear the door opening." 

But not what you can see.
