A Better Sequence (TM DVP)

[John Iacoletti]

By the time these witnesses reached the WC they all seem to do the same thing,  embellish their statements. Brennan really seems to upset you. The only importance that on Brennan is I place on Brennan is he saw the rifle being fired and he initially stated there was only two shots.

I guess you get to decide which embellishments are actually true?

If BRW had shared the SN with the assassin they would have found BRW's corpse.

You couldn’t possibly know that for a fact. Especially if the assassin only brought 4 bullets.

[John Iacoletti]

Yeah, well Brennan saw a lot of things. Brennan simultaneously saw the gunman fire the head shot and Kennedy’s head explode
>>> Nah, thats what his ghostwriter said in Brennan's book. 

You don’t know what parts (if any) were written by the co-author. It’s in a first person account.

This is what he said under oath

So what? He embellished more details every time he told the story.

[John Iacoletti]

There was a black man on the floor, but BRW did not even remotely resemble the man described by Rowland. Not even close given Arnold's extremely detailed description of a person he did not pay any attention to.

Other than the perception of “wrinkles”, it fit him just fine. In fact, BRW is the only person known to have been on the sixth floor when Rowland was looking.

How can Brennan be expected to see someone that was conjured up out of Rowland's imagination?

Calling it “Rowland’s imagination” doesn’t make it so.

. The better question is how can Rowland look back at the window for the next five minutes and not see the gunman that was seen by six other people?

That’s pure BS. There weren’t “six other people” who saw a gunman.

Howard Brennan stated he did see him fire the rifle on at least three different occasions:

Mr. BRENNAN. I positively thought that the first shot was a backfire of a motorcycle. And then something made me think that someone was throwing firecrackers from the Texas Book Store, and a possibility it was the second shot. But I glanced up or looked up and I saw this man taking aim for his last shot. The first shot and last shot is my only positive recollection of two shots.
Mr. McCLOY. Did you see the rifle explode? Did you see the flash of what was either the second or the third shot?
Mr. BRENNAN. No.
Mr. McCLOY. Could you see that he had discharged the rifle?
Mr. BRENNAN. No. For some reason I did not get an echo at any time. The first shot was positive and clear and the last shot was positive and dear, with no echo on my part.
Mr. McCLOY. Yes. But you saw him aim?
Mr. BRENNAN. Yes.
Mr. McCLOY. Did you see the rifle discharge, did you see the recoil or the flash?
Mr. BRENNAN. No.
Mr. McCLOY. But you heard the last shot.
Mr. BRENNAN. The report; yes, sir.

In other news, no one saw John Wilkes Booth fire his pistol.  They just heard a loud boom, looked in his direction and saw him pointing a pistol (or some object made of wood) at Lincoln's head.  They just "assumed" he fired the shot.  There is clearly (false) doubt of his guilt.  He was just another actor at his place of employment.  Nothing to see in the contrarian fantasy world.

Oh boy, Richard is spinning out of control and losing it. It must be hard to be so obsessed with a "contrarian fantasy world" that doesn't exist.

While I do not wish to stifle debate, the thread is about the sequence of events. One of them is.....

"Brennan sees Caucasian man in 6th floor window firing rifle" This (along with Euins) would be the last entries.

Perhaps Richard would like to comment on the timing of Williams from the 6th floor and his location prior to that.
