Shells, rifle, SN... Who?

[Walt Cakebread]

Because for some reason, you keep calling him "Sawyer".

Sayers' report says November 23.

That's an insipid dodge, John......    Simply because Sayer's report is dated 11/23/63 does NOT mean the interview took place on Saturday  11/23/63.

And Weitzman himself said that he was called to the Police department later that Friday afternoon......   So he interview took place on Friday 11/22/63 and Sayer's typed up the report on Saturday  11/23/63.

The way the FD-302s worked is that the date at the bottom next to the word "on" was the date that the interview actually occurred.

Ok So you've presented three reports.... What is your conclusion about the rifle that Weitzman and Boone discovered?  Do you believe the rifle was a Mauser?

So are you claiming that Weitzman gave his interview on the 22nd and submitted a sworn affidavit on the 23rd that completely undermined his testimony??? You'ld rather go this route than admit you might be mistaken, like Weitzman?

No, I don't believe that is correct, and I think you are mistaken.... The date the report was written is right at the top of the report.

Sayer's certainly didn't write the report as he was interviewing Weitzman.   He jotted down notes as he interviewed Weitzman on 11 /22/63 ....AND I suspect he read Weitzman's affidavit and THAT may be the reason his report is so confusing.  He incorporated information from Weitzman's affidavit with information he received from his interview and he made a mess of the info.

Post the affidavit for the 23rd.....
