Who Killed J.D. Tippit?

[John Mytton]

Hilarious. Guinn tested several.

But nice try.

How does "a rifle" become "several"? Please explain.

Btw it doesn't matter how many Carcano's were tested, Oswald's rifle was proven to produce a negative result! Live with it.

I guess Mr. Myttons position is that as long as there was one WC test of one person who fired a rifle and the paraffin test was negative on cheeks, that any other multiple testing that shows that it’s a HIGH probability of a positive test result , is irrelevant ?

There was one old guy in the CBS time trial shooting experiment, who was able ( according to Dan Rathers commentary,) to score 3 hits on the target in a time of only 5.1 secs. The shooter did not get a head shot though.

So since it’s apparently possible that one person was able to shoot the MC rifle 3 times while aiming fairly accurately in only 5.1 secs, should we conclude therefore that it’s not that improbable that Oswald could have shot even faster than that because Oswald practiced with the rifle more than any of the CBS shooters did?

Or should we judge according to probability of the whole group of shooters and including the expert shooters who had difficulty with MC rifle bolt operation who all FAILED on their first attempts , to  get 2 hits with 1 being a head shot, and after something like 33 attempts they finally managed to get their time down to something like 6-7 secs?

I usually take you to be an intelligent young man so I don't understand why you're being deliberately obtuse?

So let me take this slowly, Oswald's rifle was exclusively ballistically linked to the 3 shells in the sniper's nest and the two fragments discovered in Kennedy's Limo and the other random rifle was a decades old military surplus rifle with an unknown history. Do you understand the fundamental difference in what is being scientifically analysed?
And furthermore do you honestly believe it's fair to the grieving Kennedy family to forensically study any other rifle than what was used on the afternoon of the 22nd??

Like “Mytton” knows what was used on the afternoon of the 22nd.

[Alan J. Ford]

We may never know the real identities of the two-assailants responsible for Mr. Tippit's demise, or the nefarious reasons for the events that unfolded at 10th & Patton. The wrongly-accused wasn't there.

There is nothing to suggest Tippit was killed by "two-assailants".

There is nothing to suggest Tippit was killed by "two-assailants".

Nothing we know, right?

Has there ever been an investigation into a 2 men scenario that came up empty, so we can discard that possibility?
