Four firearms experts testified that the empty cartridge cases, found near the crime scene, were fired from the Smith & Wesson 38 special caliber revolver taken from Oswald, when he was arrested at the theatre.And they declared that the four cartridges were fired from this weapon, to the exclussion of all others.
A total of 12 witnesses saw the man with the revolver.Six had picked Oswald out from line ups as the man at the crime scene .Three other identified him from photographs.Two others said he resembled the man at the crime scene. Not claiming this is being ignored.
There is an issue with the time in relation to Oswald getting from his rooming house at around the 1.02+ in time to get to the crime scene to commit murder. But that doesn't rule out Oswald. The eye witnesses and the ballistic evidence are to strong to be dismissed. And both those strong lines of evidence place Oswald at the crime scene.
A total of 12 witnesses saw the man with the revolver. The eye witnesses and the ballistic evidence are to strong to be dismissed. I agree....
the ballistic evidence is to strong to be dismissed.Virtually all of the witnesses who saw the gunman after the murder of Tippit said that he removed one spent shell at a time as he walked away from the scene. The killer removed one spent shell and tossed it away and then removed another and another as he walked along...Thus the shells were scattered over a large area.
The S&W revolver has an ejector mechanism that ejects all of the shells at once. ( This was demonstrated for the Warren Commission)
So if the killer had been using a S&W he could not have removed the shells one at a time as reported by the witnesses at the scene.
The man was NOT Lee Oswald and the gun was NOT a Smith & Wesson.......
