A question about Oswald

[Walt Cakebread]

Snips from “JFK First Day Evidence” bit Gary Savage:

A quote from R.W. Livingston, Crime Lab Detective, DPD, page 77:

“…I am sure that Lieutenant Day, who was in charge of the Crime Lab, dusted the rifle that was found on the sixth floor of the
School Book Depository, and lifted a partial palm print off the underside of the barrel after the rifle was taken apart. They had the actual print there in the office that night.  Compared it myself with Oswald’s palm print. I thin all the other people on the day shift had already looked at the palm print before I arrived that night, but I went ahead and looked at the palm print myself and was satisfied that it was Oswald’s.”


Another assertion, this one by the author, Gary Savage, page 79:

…most, if not all, other Crime Lab Officers saw and compared the palm print themselves, including Rusty, Pete Barnes, H. R. Williams, and Bobby Brown. Ample opportunity to compare the palm print lifted from the rifle existed since it remained in the Crime Lab Office for several days, and each officer recalled the lift and had no doubt that it was Oswald’s.

…I am sure that Lieutenant Day, who was in charge of the Crime Lab, dusted the rifle that was found on the sixth floor of the School Book Depository, and lifted a partial palm print off the underside of the barrel

This statement By Detective Livingston is absolutely true.....   We have the film footage taken by Tom Alyea that shows Detective Day dusting the rifle INSIDE the sixth Floor just minutes after the rifle was discovered BENEATH the pallet of boxes of books.    Alyea said the he watched as Detective Day LIFTED a print from the rifle with Scotch tape and place that lift on a small white card .   

We can be sure that this lift is the "palm print" that was presented to the WC .    The official tale says that detective  Day didn't tell the FBI about the lift and he lied about disassembling the and finding the print on the barrel after the rifle was disassembled.

I'm confused, Walt. Isn't the print supposed be have come from a metal part of the rifle that can only be reached when the rifle is disassembled? Doesn't that mean that Day must have taken the rifle apart at the TSBD?

Or is it your opinion that the print came from somewhere else?

Engaging with either one of the naysayers is an exercise in futility. They appear to already have their minds made up that the authorities are not to be believed. The only reason to engage them is for the benefit of someone who has an open mind that might be reading these posts.

Says the special pleader trying to make the argument that Day quoted by Sneed decades later is somehow more legitimate than Day quoted by Drain in 1964.

The same guy who acknowledges morphing memories, but only when it suits him.

And besides the above Incredibly Powerful Indisputable Evidence,

Superimposing arrows on top of J. Edgar’s smudge doesn’t prove a damn thing.

Vincent Scalice with high resolution photos taken with multiple exposures of Oswald's rifle proved again beyond all doubt that Oswald's prints were on the Trigger Guard of Oswald's rifle!!!

Vincent Scalise was given photographs of unknown provenance or custody 3 decades later and then didn’t show any of his work. That doesn’t prove a damn thing “beyond all doubt”.

[John Iacoletti]

In addition, Day knew that the DPD as the investigative authority had sufficient evidence to link Oswald to the crime

How would you know that Day knew this? It’s not even true.

But you can’t prove that Livingston actually said that. Two can play that game.

This is amazing though, considering that Day said he only told Fritz and Curry about the print that night. Must be more morphing memories.

Oswald was arrested and charged for the crime on Nov. 22.  There is no doubt whatsoever that Day, as everyone else in America, knew that meant the DPD believed they had sufficient evidence to link him to the crime. 

No, it meant that the DPD didn’t give a rat’s ass about probable cause.
