Brown/Weidmann, Mini-Debate?

[Bill Chapman]

At least one filler looked the part of Oswald who had that kind of dishevelled, overwrought-loser look about him
And where's the jacket Oswald was seen wearing @Tippit?

[Martin Weidmann]

I've made my case for Callaway helping to load the body into the ambulance BEFORE making the call to the police dispatcher.  I'm satisfied with the case I have made.  Others can do with it what they wish.

There's only so much either of us can say about it.

If you want to discuss another topic, we can do that.

I'll accept that as an admission that you can not show where the audio recording "obviously" tells us that the ambulance was leaving when Callaway was making his call. If you could, you would have pointed it out and, in doing so, proved me wrong.

The reason for that is of course indeed obvious; there was no time for Callaway to help load Tippit into the ambulance before he made his call. It didn't happen.

If you want to discuss another topic, we can do that.

After this disappointing reply, I have to say I've lost interest. Against my better judgement, I accepted your invitation to debate this topic here, because in my mind there is always a possibility that my opinion is wrong and, just maybe, you would present something that would make me change my opinion. From our discussion in this thread it has, sadly, become obvious that you never even considered the possibility that you could be wrong, when in fact, as is painfully clear, you are.

It is my humble opinion that no matter how much I think I know about a certain topic, there's always a possibility that somebody else knows more. I would love to discuss all details of this case with an LN who actually has an open mind as that would be beneficial to further my, and perhaps his, knowledge. Unfortunately, you are not that LN.

The revolver taken from Oswald contained two brands of bullets (Winchester-Westerns and Remington-Peters) and these were the same two brands of shell casings found at the Tippit shooting scene.

Correction: the revolver that Gerald Hill pulled out of his pocket 1.5-2 hours after Oswald’s arrest, that you can’t demonstrate was ever in Oswald’s possession or had anything to do with Tippit’s murder had two brands of bullets in it.

Now cue the tired "Oswald's revolver LOL" comment.

[Martin Weidmann]

Who cares about the actual details of the evidence when you already (think you) know who the guilty one is, right?

[Bill Brown]

For what it's worth, Gerald Hill tried to turn over the revolver once back at headquarters (after arriving from the theater) but was told to hang onto it in order to keep the chain of possession to a minimum.

Another one of those things you can't remember where you've heard it first, I'm sure....

Keeping the chain of possession to a minimum would be achieved by handing it in to the evidence room as soon as possible, not to walk around with it for 2 hours and then show it to the media and other officers at the lunchroom.
