Mark Lane and Charles Brehm

[Marjan Rynkiewicz]

    People lose sight of WW2 ending roughly 18 yrs before 11/22/63. Brehm was a WW2 Vet. He was wounded during the D. Day Invasion. And then he was under fire once again on 11/22/63. Cut this man some slack.

For sure an honest man.
But i am surprized that someone so close to the action did not provide one little bit of worthwhile evidence, & hiz wordage would hav hurt any investigation.
And available good evidence contradicts almost everything he said.
Its another case of the problems we all hav with memory, short term & long term.
And more than that its a case of being there but not seeing (ie due to shock etc).
Look at Zapruder. We see Brehm from Z276 to Z299. And he iz clapping the whole time.
Its difficult to tell, but i think that Brehm iz closest to jfk at Z276 (further before Z276 & further after Z276).
One more thing. Brehm at no stage/time/place ever said that he heard any shots coming from the TSBD (if u look/hear closely what he actually said).

I wonder what happened to the statement he made to the Sheriffs Dept on the 22^nd
  Charles Brehm is actually a good case study of Fred Litwin's intellectual dishonesty.

DALLAS TIMES HERALD: November 22, 1963.
The witness Brehm was shaking uncontrollably as he further described the shooting. "The first shot must not have been too solid, because he just slumped. Then on the second shot he seemed to fall back." Brehm seemed to think the shots came from in front of or beside the President. He explained the President did not slump forward as if he would have after being shot from the rear. The book depository building stands in the rear of the President's location at the time of the shooting.

You are missing my point. It is about Lane's intellectual dishonesty. He asked Brehm in the interview where the shots came from, and Brehm answered him. Lane
did not include the answer in his film. But he did infer from Brehm's other statements where the shots came from.

On the other hand, I don't believe the Dallas Times Herald, because Jay Skaggs took a few photographs of Brehm on November 22nd and in his oral history project, says that Brehm, at that time, was
saying the shots came from Houston and Elm.

Actually, he never asked from what direction the shots came. He asked what direction the particles flew.
..and your opinion on hearsay from a reporter in an oral history project years later doesn't mean very much.

Mark Lane: Did you see any particles of the President's skull fly when the bullet struck him in the head?
Charles Brehm: I saw a piece fly over, oh, in the area of the curb where I was standing.

Mark Lane: And in which direction did that fly?
Charles Brehm: It seemed to have have come left and back.

My careful seeing/hearing/reading of Brehm's wordage tells me that at no time did Brehm ever say that he heard shots coming from the TSBD.
Brehm did say where he thort the shots came from. But that is not the same thing.
Brehm said that he heard the shots coming from a building which was not the TSBD.
And he made no subsequent statements re where he heard the shots coming from.
All of his subsequent statements were re where he thort the shots came from.

I guess you didn't read my post. You should.

Lane DID ask Brehm where the shots came from and Brehm answered him. Lane cut that answer out from the film. We know
this because the uncut film interviews were retrieved from the De Antonio papers in Wisconsin.

If he cut it out of the film then he made a proper edit.
You're the one that is being dishonest here.
