Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[John Iacoletti]

Some people think it?s a big deal not to make false claims about the case. Pity that you don?t
>>> Lets see a specific example. Some people have to be on the scene at every turn; otherwise everything is faked, planted or altered.

If the puck was evidence in a murder case that relied on a solid chain of custody for its provenance, then maybe it would matter. What if a spectator threw the puck out on the ice and you scored off it?
>>> You missed my point (melee on ice/melee in TT).

Actually you missed the point.  That was a specific example.  Mitch claimed, "Carroll testified that he seized the weapon from McDonald's hand during the scuffle, which McDonald's testimony corroborates."

McDonald testimony does not corroborate Carroll seizing a weapon from him.  The claim is false.

Why?  Because otherwise your guess automatically wins?

My dad could beat up your dad

I'm not automatically going to take your word on that.

He should talk to my dad

No doubt, true.  My dad has stage 5 kidney disease and is on dialysis.

My mistake.  What I meant to say is that Mitch's claim that Carroll testified that he seized the weapon from McDonald's hand is incorrect.

Mr. CARROLL. Yes, sir; and then when I got up close enough, I saw a pistol pointing at me so I reached and grabbed the pistol and jerked the pistol away and stuck it In my belt, and then I grabbed Oswald.
Mr. BALL. Who had hold of that pistol at that time?
Mr. CARROLL. I don't know, sir. I just saw the pistol pointing at me and I grabbed it and jerked it away from whoever had it and that's all, and by that time then the handcuffs were put on Oswald.

I'm truly sad to hear about your father, John. My condolences.

My dad v dad thing was actually what us kids used to chirp at each other. In a kind of nyah-nyah, schoolyard sense. In my dad's case it was true, as he was 6'5" with arms the size of Oak trees... a veritable Paul Bunyon.

My dad died in 1998. Had he never smoked, he might have lived a few years longer, or at least healthier.
