Oswald killed Tippit -- Helen Markham confirms her ID on CBS 1964

[Martin Weidmann]

"I do not need to prove anything" is your "contrarian" technique. You imply all sorts of theories without any proof and then accuse others of exhibiting bad character for doing the same thing.

It seems you still don't understand the difference between a question being asked and a claim (implied or not) being made.

[Walt Cakebread]

Calling a man a liar (with no proof) is cowardly.

So you're a ballistics expert, now, Walt?

Your "theory" is that every witness who contributes to proving the guilt of Lee Harvey Oswald is a liar. That's all you've got. How about some evidence that somebody else killed Officer J.D. Tippit? Not "thumb-suckers': Identification of an alternative shooter and physical evidence is required. Over to you... genius.

I clearly stated that this mendacious man can fool an ignoramus.....Just as a snake oil salesmen can fool ignorant people.

What size was the bore diameter of the revolver ?..... What was the diameter of the projectile?   How long was the barrel?
What was the composition of the projectile metal?    What was the melting point?    What was the temperature of the gasses blowing by the projectile? What was the velocity of the hot gasses blowing past the projectile?

Please answer the above questions.

Yes, it is vague. It's obvious to anybody who watches them. Nothing in these videos are conclusive to confirm Oswald killed Tippit.

No it is not vague. The man takes 70 seconds to explain the difficulty of the ballistics match of the projectiles.

I'm not going list all the points he made. You need to rebut Joseph D. Nichols conclusions point-by-point: Otherwise you're just another contrarian.

Incidentally, your brief, incorrect statement is actually "vague" too. What irony!

Nothing in these videos are conclusive to confirm Oswald killed Tippit.

The Video concludes with text stating: "Joseph D. Nicol's expert ballistics evidence SUPPORTS other evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald murdered Office J.D. Tippit".

Have you ever heard of the legal term "probative"?

It's called JAQing
A chicken-shit troll method

Not necessary. You're demanding an unrealistic standard of evidence.

I'm not required to be a ballistics expert. I posted a video of someone who was (1964).

Your demands: The first 3 are known. The last 3 are not used in ballistics identification. Explain why the last 3 would be tested for.

If you think they are relevant: Explain how they disprove the conclusions of Joseph D. Nicol.

When I show you these guys, be sure,. take your time, see if you can make a positive identification."
> Thanks for reminding us that Callaway ID'd Oswald as the guy with the gun.

And raising one's eyebrows does not require rolling one's eyes.

"Thanks for reminding us that Callaway ID'd Oswald as the guy with the gun."

Domingo Benavides was directly across the street from Tippit's car, within 15 feet, when he was shot. He got the best view of Tippit's murderer and he described a oerson who doesn't match Oswald.

The closest Calloway got to the guy with the gun was 56 feet and the guy was running. Considering the evidence against Oswald I can see why you're grasping at straw though.

[Gary Craig]

So they brought four men in.
I stepped to the back of the room, so I could kind of see him from the same distance which I had seen him before. And when he came out, I knew him.

Good post, Gary. You provide confirmation that Ted Callaway positively identified Lee Oswald as the man he saw running with a gun in his hand seconds after he (Callaway) heard shots fired. Glad you agree that Ted Callaway was absolutely convinced the gun-carrier was Lee Harvey Oswald. Keep up the good work.

You jumped in the same boat as Chapman.
Callaway's ID from 56 feet of a running man gets trumped by Domingo Benavides' exculpatory ID from 15 feet away.
