Deconstructing Bugliosi's "53 pieces of evidence"

[Jon Banks]

I've always found it hard to believe that Brennan was able to "clearly" see from 90 feet away looking upward to a very small window with the pane cracked open halfway that he could identify someone, especially when his eyes - like many people there - were focused on the motorcade. We're talking pandemonium here with the cars and cycles going by, the cheering and so on.

It's implausible that he would've been able to describe the height or weight of the person in the window from his vantage point.

This doesn't seem like a great mystery.  Brennan is standing below on the street, hears gun shots, does the logical thing and looks for the source of the noise and sees Oswald with his rifle.  If there is anything that is surprising, it is that many more witnesses didn't do the same (although others did see the rifle in that window confirming that is the location of the shooter - unless you believe lunatic things like Oswald was firing blanks etc).

Brennan runs up to the police during the chaos and tells them about seeing a man with a rifle in the building. Bad luck for Oswald is that he looked like the shooter. And unfortunately the police found a rifle and shells where Brennan says he saw a shooter. And then other witnesses also say they saw a rifle/man in the window.

Brennan sure got lucky that all of this helped his lies out. Meanwhile, more bad luck for poor Oswald.

Or all of this was made up, Brennan was a CIA asset and et cetera, et cetera.

Comedy gold.  Arguing that it is not Oswald's rifle is bad enough.  Arguing that EVEN if it is Oswald's rifle, that it still doesn't prove anything is laughable.  A rifle found at the scene belonging to Oswald is not evidence of his involvement according to our resident Inspector Clouseau.  It is just an "assumption."  HA HA HA.  Maybe that time machine will be invented one day to solve the crime.

Why do you continue to insist in showing off just how big of a fool you are. And what do you think to achieve by completely misrepresenting what was actually said?

More sleight-of-hand BS! And who said that anyway?

It is just an "assumption."

What isn't an assumption, but instead a fact, is that somebody who constantly makes claims he can't support with evidence, who continuously lies, misrepresents what was said and makes up stuff, like Richard constantly does, hasn't even got the beginning of a credible case!

Except he didn't, because in the Z-film he can be seen watching the motorcade at the time the shots rang out and the shooter was just about completely hidden behind the wall next to the SN window.

This doesn't seem like a great mystery.

What is a complete mystery is how a reasonable person can take anything Brennan said seriously.

"All" Martin can find is that Oswald left his rifle at the crime scene!  HA HA HA.

“Oswald left his rifle at the crime scene”. HA HA HA.

And on top of that, anyone in a position to take aim for the last shot would necessarily be crouched down behind boxes with a rifle up to his face.

Bad luck for Oswald is that he looked like the shooter.

Unfair and biased lineup. No “bad luck” involved.
