Lance Payette speaks and How this would play out in court!

[Bill Chapman]

And when you don't have the facts, make up some stuff that isn't true and call it a fact.

Says the guy who claims that the shooter was crouched down behind boxes in the window so as to imply that Brennan couldn't possibly have seen the belt. Then ignores the fact that Brennan said he observed the same man prior to the arrival of the motorcade standing near the window and saw him from the hips/belt up.

And by the way, why would the shooter have to be 'crouched behind boxes' when all that was visible from the street was just the tip of one box.

Your need to sensationalize every little detail speaks volumes.

Here are Brennan's words from his affidavit on 11/22/63.

Quote:..."Then the man let the gun down to his side and stepped down out of sight. He did not seem to be in any hurry.I could see this man from about his belt up"...unquote.

Brennan said that he saw the man standing and aiming a HUNTING rifle ( possibly a 30-30 Winchester) out of a sixth floor window and he could see this man from about his belt up. 

This was NOT before the motorcade arrived.....

Try again, Bill.  He said he could see him from the belt up at the time of the head shot.

How do you think the gunman was positioned for the head shot?

I think you're talking about Brennan.  He wrote a 128 page book about a 6 second experience.

Hold on, not so fast. He testified 'a possibilty' from the belt up.

Mr. BELIN. At the time you saw this man on the sixth floor, how much of the man could you see?
Mr. BRENNAN. Well, I could see at one time he came to the window and he sat sideways on the window sill. That was previous to President Kennedy getting there. And I could see practically his whole body, from his hips up. But at the time that he was firing the gun, a possibility from his belt up.

Yes ...and using common sense in conjunction with what he wrote in his affidavit an intelligent person would conclude that Brennan was merely saying that he could have been off a couple of inches above the belt because he may not have actually seen a belt.....  Without doubt Brennan saw the man standing and aiming the rifle from a window.....That window had to have been wide open because Brennan saw him steadying the hunting rifle against the side of the open window and he could see all of the barrel of the rifle.

Setting aside Walt's fabrication that Brennan's gunman was standing up in the west end window, how does Brennan see any part of a gunman in the SE corner window taking aim for the head shot, other than possibly part of a face and an arm?

So you recognize that Howard Brennan could NOT have been referring to the partially open window at the SE corner of the sixth floor ......but refuse to believe Brennan's affidavit in which he clearly describes a window that had to have been wide open....
