The First Shot

[Andrew Mason]

This is called impeaching your own witness. After telling us how accurately Woodward remembered exactly what happened, now you tell us she got mixed up.

No. I just asked the question: “ She just got mixed up thinking that it was before the first shot?”.  The part before the ? seems to be what you are saying.  The obvious answer would be: “not likely”. It’s a rhetorical device.

There's a compelling argument. I've never disputed that JFK turned to Woodward and friends. What is in dispute is when that happened in relation to the first shot. If she was mixed up, how can you rely on her to determine when the first shot was fired.

You need to read more carefully. It is you, not me, who thinks she is mixed up on that.

Your  theory he wasn't hit until about Z270 was one of the goofiest things I've ever read regarding the JFKA. It's exceeded only by Benjamin Cole's claim that JBC wasn't hit until Z295. What the hell are you two looking at when you watch the Z-film?

I am just pointing out that there is an awful lot of evidence that the second and third shots were in rapid succession with the second after the midpoint between 1 and 3.  To fit the evidence the second must have struck JBC around z270. There are many other pieces of evidence that support a second shot striking JBC there.  I didn’t manufacture the evidence. It’s there.  I am just pointing it out.
