So here we have an example of the sleaze-bag defense attorney going at it. Re-defining the narrative through recasting what I said. O'meara knows about it.
The fact remains that the evidence is that JFK was struck after z186 and before z202. Phil Willis' photo, according to his evidence, was taken just after the sound of the shot. Do you think he was lying about that? (Jerry does). Because if he was just mistaken about that and the first shot was at z223, you have to explain how it is that:
I said Phil Willis said a "white lie" (not a Big Lie like you traffic in) about his picture being taken "simultaneously" with the sound of the first shot. Willis was a car salesman from Texas who was promoting a commercial set of his color slides. Think Ted Cruz. Or Porky Mason.
If Willis took his Z202 slide between shots 1 and 2 (say, Z155 and Z222), then it was taken in the midst of shots and echoing, so it could be said his slide was "simultaneous" with the shots, but not the precise moment of the first shot.
As I've explained countless times, Willis himself defined the first shot having occurred before his Z202 slide:
"Mrs. Kennedy was likewise smiling and facing more to my side of
the street. When the first shot was fired, her head seemed to just
snap in that direction"
"she was looking more to the left, which would be my side of the street.
Then when the first shot was fired, she turned to the right toward him"
The Zapruder film shows Mrs. Kennedy turning her head to her right within one second of Z155. Willis was nearby enough to observe this (his legs are at the extreme right edge of the Z167 crop.
1. his daughter Linda also pinpointed the first shot at that time (when JFK was between her and the Stemmons sign - z195-205) (or, if you were Jerry, why she also lied);
Objection! I didn't say Linda Willis lied. I suggested she got the Stemmons sign confused with the Thornton sign. She can only see the President and a sign beyond when he is between her and the Thornton sign. She can't see the President at all when he's between her and the Stemmons sign.
Furthermore she said "I stood there where the Stemmons sign is" which also relates better to her position relative to the Thornton sign.
2. why TE Moore and Jeanette Hooker said that the first shot occurred just before the President reached the Thornton freeway sign. (z200); (or, if you were Jerry, why they also lied)
That's a new one on me. That I said Moore and Hooker lied. I never even said they were mistaken. I confess I don't know the legal ramifications of it, but I must admit to delineating their positions.
3. why occupants of the VP security car said that the first shot occurred just before they completed the turn onto Elm. (z190-210).(or, if you were Jerry, why they also lied)
I never said they lied. They're not like you.
One would also then have to explain why so many people mistakenly recalled the third shot as being the last, because a first shot at z223 does not fit the 1.......2....3 pattern if the last was at z313.
etc.
If it pleases the Court, the shot spanning is just a tally of something highly-subjective. Your Honor, there was much more occurring and needing to be processed between the 2-3 span as compared to the 1-2 span. Studies have shown that the more happening and needing to be processed, the shorter passing of time will seem.
Assuming traffic is normal each way, if you pick up someone at the airport, the drive to the airport will seem long or "normal". But the ride back, with all the conversation and so forth, will seem shorter.
Furthermore, I would like to call Kellerman and Greer to the stand. They are seen in the Zapruder film and Altgens photo (Z255) as having turned towards the back, caused, Greer said, by hearing the report of the second shot (Connally also shouts in the early Z240s).
| | Greer's shirt front widens about the late Z-240s as he turns towards the middle of the car. |
Therefore the second shot occurred about Z220-to-Z240 (I prefer the earlier Z220s because of the simultaneous reaction of both men as they emerge from behind the sign). Even if we go with the Z240s as the second shot and team it with your Z195ish "first" shot, that'll get you a 1.....2.......3 shot pattern.
The shot spanning for, say, Z155-to-Z222-to-Z313 is 1.....2.......3. More evenly-spaced. Better accommodates the witnesses who said the shot spanning was more closer for the first two shots, was more closer for the last two, and all shots evenly-spaced.
Court has rejected your claims, Mr. Giuliani.
