Title: Oswald Probably Did It
Post by: Bill Chapman on March 05, 2018, 07:08:01 PM
I'm 100% certain of that.
(That he probably did it)

Feel free to name some other shooter who probably did it
Along with that, show circumstantial evidence pointing at your probable shooter and no one else

Before that why don't you show your evidence that Oswald was certainly the shooter.

Show us were I said he 'certainly' did it.

Perhaps you've missed the 'tongue-in-cheek' flavour of my stated conclusion. In any case, it should be plain to see that I'm certain up to the level of the probability. Which is a step beyond possibility, and just short of claiming certainty.

And you and others have also ignored my oft-stated recognition of the fact that no one here can prove Oswald's guilt or innocence to a dead certainty.

You hate to be ignored ...don't you Chappy?


that no one here can prove Oswald's guilt or innocence to a dead certainty.

No court requires a "dead certainty".....   But had Lee lived to be indicted ...He wouldn't have been indicted because there wasn't enough evidence to send him to trial.    The conspirators knew that and that's the reason he was murdered.

Please show your evidence that Oswald "probably did it" then.

No I can't.

I know it is hard for some people to live in the world of hard evidence when their whole life has been programmed to believe something else.

In this thread, I have shown hard circumstantial evidence of another gunman besides LHO.

I can probably show circumstantial evidence of another assassin with support documentation in Dealey Plaza.  Any takers?

Do you mean "hard circumstantial evidence"? 
Steve, Bill, I presented photographic and film evidence of another shooter besides LHO.  It is up to you to draw your own conclusion from this evidence.

Other users reading this thread will come up with their own conclusion that may and may not agree with your conclusions.

That is why we are here, to exchange our ideas and get them challenged by a different point of view.

I am surprised that you got anyone to play your silly game.  Your motive is clear and we have seen this same ?black or white? logical fallacy repeatedly.  If one cannot show compelling evidence that someone other than Oswald did it, then Oswald did it, right?  WRONG!  It is not necessary to provide an alternate shooter to show that Oswald was not the shooter and the burden of proof that Oswald was the shooter rests on those arguing that he was.   Furthermore, since we both know the evidence, have made up our minds, and there is no possible way that either one of us could sway the other, your post is futile.

CT's are always saying there is no evidence that points to Oswald's guilt. And yet when asked for evidence that proves him innocent they cannot produce it. All they ever have is "It was altered. it was faked, he said, she said, and on, and on, and on". After almost 55 years there is ZERO physical or ballistic evidence of any second shooter. On the other hand:
Oswald had the opportunity to shoot the president. The motorcade went right past the TSBD.
Oswald had the means. He owned rifle C2766.
Oswald had the ability. He qualified twice in the Marines as a "Sharpshooter" and as a "Marksman". And that is at 200 yards with iron sights.
Oswald had the will to shoot the president. In view of his attempt to kill Gen. Walker I would say yes.
His prints were on the rifle and at the sniper's nest.
Why was Oswald the only employee that left work at the TSBD?
Where are the curtain rods he told Frazier that he had in the bag?
Why did he tell Capt. Fritz that he had brought his lunch in the big bag? Why not just tell the truth and tell the Capt. that he brought curtain rods?
Oswald's housekeeper said he came home and then left after grabbing a jacket.
Why kill Tippet?
Oswald was id'ed as the killer of Tippet by several witnesses.
Why did Oswald go to Ruth Paine's on Thursday instead of his normal Friday visit? To get his rifle, that is why.
Oswald tested positive on his hands for having fired a weapon. For those of you who will say "Yes but not on his cheek", it is not likely that a shooter would get powder residue on their cheek from a bolt action rifle. Plus it was tested by the FBI.
All of the ballistic evidence was linked to Oswald's rifle and ammo and to him.
54 witnesses reported hearing three shots come from the TSBD.
Witnesses saw the gunman in the 6th floor window with a rifle.
Jarman, Norman, and Williams were right below the 6th floor window on the 5th floor and all of them heard the three shots right above them. 
I could add more.

I don't know what country you're from, but in the United States it's "innocent until proven guilty", not the other way around.

On the other hand:
Oswald had the opportunity to shoot the president. The motorcade went right past the TSBD.

The motorcade went right past dozens (perhaps hundreds) of people in Dealey Plaza.

Quote
Oswald had the means. He owned rifle C2766.

That's a conclusion, not evidence.  And it's a conclusion that is not even very well supported by the evidence.

Quote
Oswald had the ability. He qualified twice in the Marines as a "Sharpshooter" and as a "Marksman". And that is at 200 yards with iron sights.

And that tells you exactly what about the proficiency of a guy 3-7 years later allegedly firing a bolt action rifle with a misaligned scope at 80-90 yards at a moving target from a 6th floor window?

Quote
Oswald had the will to shoot the president. In view of his attempt to kill Gen. Walker I would say yes.

"Attempt to kill Gen. Walker" is another one of those assumptions not well supported by the evidence.  Not to mention that Walker was the political opposite of JFK.

Quote
His prints were on the rifle

No, a single partial palmprint was discovered a week later on an index card which was identified as Oswald's.

Quote
and at the sniper's nest.

That's not remarkable.  His job was to get books out of boxes.

Quote
Why was Oswald the only employee that left work at the TSBD?

He wasn't.

Quote
Where are the curtain rods he told Frazier that he had in the bag?

Hell, where is the bag?

Quote
Why did he tell Capt. Fritz that he had brought his lunch in the big bag? Why not just tell the truth and tell the Capt. that he brought curtain rods?

How do you know what the truth is?

Quote
Oswald's housekeeper said he came home and then left after grabbing a jacket.

yes, and . . .?

Quote
Why kill Tippet?

Another one of those assumptions not well supported by the evidence.  By the way, it's Tippit.

Quote
Oswald was id'ed as the killer of Tippet by several witnesses.

No he wasn't.  Only one of those witnesses even saw Tippit being killed.  And the lineups were unfair and biased.

Quote
Why did Oswald go to Ruth Paine's on Thursday instead of his normal Friday visit? To get his rifle, that is why.

Now we have an assumption unsupported by any evidence.  Besides, what makes it a "normal Friday visit"?  He had only been at this job about 6 weeks, missed the previous weekend completely, and one other time he had come on a Saturday.  So "normal visit" is based on what, like 4 visits?  How about he went there to try to make up with Marina following their big quarrel the previous weekend?

Quote
Oswald tested positive on his hands for having fired a weapon. For those of you who will say "Yes but not on his cheek", it is not likely that a shooter would get powder residue on their cheek from a bolt action rifle.

What makes this not likely?  Vincent Guinn disagrees with you.  Besides, did you know you can get a false positive on a nitrate test from printing ink?  You know like that found in school books?

Quote
All of the ballistic evidence was linked to Oswald's rifle and ammo and to him.

"Oswald's rifle" is an assumption not well supported by the evidence.  And there is nothing that connects any of the "ballistic evidence" to Oswald.  Or even to the murder victims.

Quote
54 witnesses reported hearing three shots come from the TSBD.

So what?  How is that evidence against Oswald?  Besides, these tabulations are all affected by the biases of the person interpreting what is in many cases vague testimony, not to mention testimony colored by the media and other influences.  But depending on who's doing the counting, anywhere from 33-52 witnesses reported hearing shots from the knoll.  Again, so what?

Quote
Witnesses saw the gunman in the 6th floor window with a rifle.

4 witnesses reported seeing a man with a rifle in any window:  Howard Brennan, who failed to identify Oswald in the lineup, and who initially described a man wearing light colored clothing who was a different height, weight, and age as Oswald.  Carolyn Walther, who said it wasn't as high as the sixth floor, it was two men standing together, and that the man with the rifle was wearing a white shirt and had blond or light brown hair.  Arnold Rowland, who saw a man in the Southwest 6th floor window 15 minutes before the assassination wearing a light colored shirt, and Amos Euins, who told one reporter that the man with the rifle was "colored", and told the Warren Commission that the man had a bald spot.

What makes you think that any of these people saw Oswald?

Quote
Jarman, Norman, and Williams were right below the 6th floor window on the 5th floor and all of them heard the three shots right above them. 

Not quite.  On day one, Bonnie Ray Williams said he heard two shots.  But so what?  How does the number of shots tell you who did the shooting?

Quote
I could add more.

Please do.  I'm waiting for something that definitively points to Oswald actually being the shooter.

Okay John let's take it a piece at a time. All of the physical evidence in the case which includes the bullet, fragments, and rifle that were found were linked to Oswald. Can you name any physical evidence, a rifle, a bullet, a fragment that points to anyone but Oswald. By the way, which theory do you believe? There are so many, so which one? You must have one that you favor. The rifle was linked to Oswald by the FBI and you know it. It is easy to say everything in this case is debatable. That is an old ploy by CT's. When in doubt, deny and claim everything is faked, altered, covered up. Come on Cowboy up and state what theory you believe. The murder happened one way and one way only.

At least circle it or point an arrow to it or something.  Just saying "it's there" isn't particularly compelling.  Nor are your other interpretations.

Can you help there, it is a clear as daylight.  If you can't see it, nothing I do will let you see it.

Do you actually think that Oswald did not shoot at JFK?

This picture of the TSBD sure looks like Oswald in the window.

Wesley, that's not how it works. It's not up to Oswald defenders to prove that he was innocent. But they do have to challenge the evidence against him. Most of them refuse to do so. They just dismiss it out of hand. Rob Caprio is the worst of the bunch. He can't be reasoned with at all. So, don't even bother wasting your time trying. John Iacolletti tries to be reasonable from time to time but for the most part his approach is one that would empty the jails and prisons nationwide.

Well John, how about the fake Selective Service card found in Oswald's wallet by the DPD? Oswald had two id's on him. One in the name of Oswald the other in the name of Hidell. Now I suppose you will ask "How do you know that the DPD found two id's one in the name of Hidell"? John, I have a question for you. How do you know that you even exist? How do you know I exist? How do you know that we have even been debating on this forum? How do you know that I know that you know that I know that you don't really believe in anything? How do I know that I even wrote this?

And a personal opinion from Oswald's prosecuting attorney somehow is?

The best the HSCA could do is one guy on the panel saying the "scales are tipped in that direction", because moon craters. At least it wasn't the even more ridiculous proof by yellow blob.

Well John, how about the fake Selective Service card found in Oswald's wallet by the DPD? Oswald had two id's on him. One in the name of Oswald the other in the name of Hidell. Now I suppose you will ask "How do you know that the DPD found two id's one in the name of Hidell"? John, I have a question for you. How do you know that you even exist? How do you know I exist? How do you know that we have even been debating on this forum? You do you know that I know that you know that I know that you don't really believe in anything? How do I know that I even wrote this? LMAO

Is that word salad supposed to make the DPD's claim more credible?

Bentley said he found the Hidell ID in the car on the way to the station.  Walker said he found the Hidell ID on Oswald in the interrogation room.  And why did none of them including all of the arresting officers mention the Hidell ID in any of their arrest reports?  And why was one Oswald wallet found at 10th and Patton, another wallet in his pocket after arrest, and yet 3 more Oswald wallets at the Paines house?  Why did Hill, Wade, Fritz, and Curry never mention this ID card in any interview or in public until after the alleged rifle order was located?  Curry didn't mention the ID card even when he announced to reporters that a money order bearing the name A. Hidell had been found in Virginia.  That would have been the obvious time to mention it.  And furthermore, why would somebody carry an ID with a name that he used to order a rifle on the same day he decided to kill the president with that same rifle?

But yeah, let's forget about all the things that don't make sense about this and just accept it because we don't even know for sure that we even exist.  Sounds like a plan.

Bentley said he found the Hidell ID in the car on the way to the station.

Actually, no he didn't. In his television interview on 11/23 Bentley says he found a credit card and a drivers license in the wallet he took from Oswald in the car.

The first time the Hidell alias came up (at least this is how it was presented during WC testimony) was when Gus Rose came on duty at the police station and was given a wallet, which was claimed to belong to Oswald and allegedly contained the Hidell alias. However, as far as I know there is no contemporary report about Rose's conversation with Oswald nor has it ever been determined who the officer was that Rose received the wallet from or how that officer obtained the wallet.

Thanks for the correction, Martin.  What I should have said is that Bentley said he removed Oswald's wallet en route to city hall.  So how could Oswald have still had the alleged Hidell ID with him when Walker supposedly took it from him in the interrogation room?

Bentley mention a drivers license, credit cards, and things like that. He said that he believed that the wallet contained a drivers license and credit cards but he never stated that he had actually found a credit card and a drivers license in the wallet.

I am surprised that you got anyone to play your silly game.  Your motive is clear and we have seen this same ?black or white? logical fallacy repeatedly.  If one cannot show compelling evidence that someone other than Oswald did it, then Oswald did it, right?  WRONG!  It is not necessary to provide an alternate shooter to show that Oswald was not the shooter and the burden of proof that Oswald was the shooter rests on those arguing that he was.   Furthermore, since we both know the evidence, have made up our minds, and there is no possible way that either one of us could sway the other, your post is futile.

If one cannot show compelling evidence that someone other than Oswald did it, then Oswald did it, right?  WRONG!

I would love to have Oswald in the hot seat at court. At the end of it, I would pin the bag, the rifle, the revolver, the bullet, the fragments, the shell casings, the documents, proving Oswald's ownership of the weapons, and the eye witness testimonies, right to little old Oswaldovich's head. And after the defense, blew all the smoke and put up all the mirrors, the jury would see that they had zero, physical, or ballistic evidence to support their defense. It is hilarious.

Sure. My thoughts are laid out in a readable fashion. I do NOT use ONE paragraph for all my thoughts.

If you are going to accuse someone of two murders then you are compelled to provide evidence supporting this contention, but you can't since NONE exists. You're sunk.

No Rob, not sunk at all. I don't have to prove anything. Talk about no evidence. I will ask you again, can you cite any physical, or ballistic evidence that points to anyone other than Oswald or a second shooter? I'll be waiting a long time. After all of these years all you guys have is rebuttal of the evidence that has been known for decades now. So, you have anything?

What does it matter to you? You don't believe anything. Do I really need to explain to you why I ask that? Okay, Martin I'll play along with your little word game. I ask that, because most CTers, (and fence walkers ;D) on here claim Oswald didn't do it. The president was killed that day, (or do you question that too), so, if Oswald didn't do it, who did?

I'm not evading anything. If you have studied this long enough you know exactly what evidence I'm talking about. I'm talking about the evidence that was gathered by the DPD and the Secret Service relating to the crime. Clear enough for you Tom? Now, can you name any physical, or ballistic evidence that is not related to Oswald and indicates a second shooter or someone else shooting the president. You do know that the president was killed that day by being shot with bullets right? So name the evidence.

You're starting to sound like Paul May. *YOU* have the burden as you accuse LHO of two murders. I haven't accused anyone so I do NOT need to cite evidence for something I have NOT claimed.

Stop shifting the burden and cite your evidence. Stop playing ⚽⚾🏀🏈.

Oh, stop with the little word games Rob. You are not that clever. So, once again, can you cite any evidence at all, like fingerprints, or bullets, or a rifle? Anything Rob? Let me be very clear to you. Do you have any physical, or ballistic evidence other than the evidence that was gathered by the DPD, or Secret Service, or FBI, or anyone else that submitted evidence? Anything at all Rob?

Really Martin? You seem like a smart guy. I think you know the answer for that. But, I will try and be as clear as I can. The reason I ask for evidence of anyone else shooting the president, or a second shooter is because of the dozens of "conspiracy theories" that are out there. I believe the results of the President's Commission (WC) the Rockefeller Commission, the HSCA (on their conclusion that Oswald shot the president not their conclusion of a forth shot from the knoll). Clear enough for you? Instead of just rehashing over the evidence that exits and dealing with the CTers trying to dispute it, I would like them to name the evidence that shows there was a second shooter or someone else, other than Oswald, that killed the president. The president was killed that day, so if not by Oswald, then by whom? Where is the evidence that supports a second shooter or a different shooter than Oswald?

Yes, that was clear since the moment you joined this forum.

I didn't know this was a job Tim. Do they get paid? Where do I sign up? It's just a fun hobby for me Tim. I have been studying the assassination for decades now. I use to believe in a conspiracy until I realized one day that the "conspiracy authors" never presented or cited any real evidence to exonerate Oswald. Most of these guys will not even say which theory they back. It's just in fun Tim that I do this.

One of the problems that I have with you "Oswald defenders" as Tim called them, is this Martin. Let's take the good old "mauser" story. We all should be familiar with that one. So, a rifle was found on the 6th floor by Officers Seymour Weitzman and Eugene Boone. They did not touch the rifle but stated in looked like a "mauser". Upon closer inspection it was revealed that the rifle was a Mannlicher-Carcano 6.5mm. Are you familiar with rifles Martin? There were a lot of "mauser" type rifles made in Europe by a few different countries. It was a good design. One of the main reasons is the box magazines they used. The rifles looked similar. I got my youngest son a Mosin-Nagant that looks similar. When CTers and whomever else disputes this and goes back to "Weitzman and Boone" said it was a "mauser". Then you get all these CTers claiming a conspiracy, and a cover-up because a "mauser" was found and they changed it with the M-C 6.5 mm. By implication Martin, if that were true, that means that Captain Will Fritz and Lt. Day were part of a conspiracy, which is ridiculous. And to build on that why were Weitzman and Boone left alive? They saw a "mauser!" You see where I'm going Martin? It's one thing to dispute evidence Martin, I'm fine with that. It is entirely different when you ask, "okay I don't believe the evidence", but then what does that mean in terms of what really happened and who was behind it. If you dispute the documentation on the ownership of the rifle then by implication you involve the FBI, so on and so on. It becomes a conspiracy of hundreds of people and they all have to keep their mouths shut. In my opinion there was no conspiracy.

That's a classic LN argument that I simply do not believe is true. Have you ever heard of Operation Mincemeat? Granted, it's not completely the same thing but it is a classic example of how a hand full of people were able to fool the entire German leadership in WW2 with 100% fake evidence. There a documentary on you tube about it. Do you think there are no similar creative minds anywhere in the country?

I have found numerous books and websites not necessarily confirming that it wasn't Oswald, but very good theories that he was just planted as the decoy in the whole scheme. I believe that a man named Malcolm Wallace was the one that shot and killed Kennedy. He clearly is not a shy guy when it comes to killing people and take a look at this article and let me know what you think. I can show you my other evidence as well that I have found.

I'm not shifting anything Martin.

Of course you are

I'm glad you admit that no one on here can provide any evidence to implicate a second shooter or anyone other than Oswald.

Did I?

One of the problems that I have with you "Oswald defenders"

Does questioning the evidence equal being an "Oswald defender" to you?

Are you familiar with rifles Martin?

Not really. I don't like them and don't want to be near them.

You see where I'm going Martin?

No, not really....

It's one thing to dispute evidence Martin, I'm fine with that. It is entirely different when you ask, "okay I don't believe the evidence", but then what does that mean in terms of what really happened and who was behind it. If you dispute the documentation on the ownership of the rifle then by implication you involve the FBI, so on and so on.

Why would you involve the entire FBI when there are all sorts of ways that documentation could have ended up where it was found?

It becomes a conspiracy of hundreds of people and they all have to keep their mouths shut. In my opinion there was no conspiracy.

No Martin, I don't believe a hand full of people could have pulled a conspiracy off. At least not involving Mr. Oswald. Carlos Marcello said, "the only way three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead". Funny. The motorcade route was not announced and printed in the paper until 11\19\63, so part of what you would have me believe is that in three days your hand full of people could implement their "master plan" as you call it without anyone getting suspicious? Right Martin, I believe that. And in view of the fact that you seem to dispute every bit of evidence against Oswald it would take a small army to coordinate and plant all of this tainted evidence. You just keep believing that Martin. I know it is more fun for guys like you to imagine all these mysterious people maneuvering and manipulating poor little Oswald. Didn't happen. Since you don't know much about rifles it is pointless to continue.

Alice, I must point out to you that the Education site is a very poor source for obtaining accurate information from. About six or seven years ago, I helped my youngest daughter with a school project. I forget if it was on Booker T Washington or George Washington Carver. It may have been both. Anyway, she used the Education site as a source. It turned out the information she used from there was horribly inaccurate. Consider yourself warned.

Better to rely on some real information instead of an Internet krank.  How about reading, for example, Robert Caro's book "Passage of Power"?  Caro is the foremost historian on LBJ.  He has said many critical things about Johnson but found no credible evidence whatsoever of his involvement in the JFK assassination - which is a wild, baseless, and outlandish claim predicated apparently only on the basis that LBJ apparently stood to benefit from JFK's death.  Even the History Channel which runs almost nothing but UFO programs wouldn't air a documentary alleging LBJ was behind the assassination because it was so far removed from reality.  It is an absurd fringe theory.

So, Mark was right. You have nothing to offer to the discussion.

I believe the evidence gathered to be accurate. I have read most or all of the same material you have. I just don't believe it shows Oswald did not do it.

If anybody claims that the evidence shows that Oswald didn't do it, I would disagree with him. But nobody is claiming that.

You guys question every little detail. It is amazing.

It's very  simple. The whole thing happened in just one way, which means that basically all pieces of the puzzle should fall into place if the version of the narrative you are telling is the correct one. Here, those pieces simply do not all fall into place but, even worse, you've got important pieces missing and others that do not fit at all. Believing the official narrative nevertheless is faith and not reason.

Alice,

I don't have a theory. I'm interested in the game, not the players. If Oswald did it alone, so be it. If there was a conspiracy, so be it. What I want to know is if the case against Oswald is solid or just a fairytale to wrap the case around one man, regardless of his guilt or innocence.

I agree with you and it also doesn't help that he was shot and killed by Jack Ruby just two days later!!! Therefore, he couldn't answer all of the questions investigators and police may have wanted to ask.

Martin I don't know how much more clear I can be to you about why I believe Oswald did it.

So, Mark was right. You have nothing to offer to the discussion.

I believe the evidence gathered to be accurate. I have read most or all of the same material you have. I just don't believe it shows Oswald did not do it.

If anybody claims that the evidence shows that Oswald didn't do ,I would disagree with him. But nobody is claiming that.

You guys question every little detail. It is amazing.

It's very  simple. The whole thing happened in just one way, which means that basically all pieces of the puzzle should fall into place if the version of the narrative you are telling is the correct one. Here, those pieces simply do not all fall into place but, even worse, you've got important pieces missing and others that do not fit at all. Believing the official narrative nevertheless is faith and not reason.

Well you know all there is to know about BS, so for me there isn't anything to add except perhaps that your constant CT bashing is getting very tiresome.

Martin if Oswald would have killed a citizen of Dallas instead of President Kennedy all the pieces would have all fit together. And you are very tiresome as well. If you don't like what I write then don't read it or reply.

And this from the same nut who states that he is not suggesting there was any conspiracy.  But here John implies that LBJ had foreknowledge of the assassination.   You should be embarrassed to be so lazy and dishonest.  Have you read Caro's "Passage of Power"?

Even more revealing is how he uncritically accepts the statement.

Usually, we have the "that's hearsay" or "look over there" or some sort of dismissive response.

If that was a quote about Oswald can you imagine the tortured attempts to dismiss it?

There are, for me, legitimate, reasoned critics of the lone nut explanation of what happened and there are illegitimate unreasonable critics who don't try to figure out, as best as we can at this late date, what happened. It's easy to tell the two apart.

And that is a pure assumption on your part. And since Oswald never made it to trial we will never know. So, why don't you take my suggestion? It must feel safe dancing along that fence pole and never having to say that you believe in a conspiracy. I know why you and people like you on here do that. Because the moment you say you believe there was a conspiracy, then you would have to defend it. You and I know you can't defend a conspiracy theory. It is far easier for you to just wait until someone says they believe "Oswald acted alone" and then you just try and dispute the evidence they cite. After all you have far more hearsay evidence and speculation in doing that. At last count I think there have been over two thousand books written about JFK and his assassination. Most of the assassination books are from the conspiracy theory people. Have you ever been to Dealy Plaza on a weekend Martin. It is a circus. You can purchase material from probably a dozen different theories in just a few minutes. It is disgusting the amount of people making money from the president's death. For what it is worth, I don't even like that authors like Posner, and Bugliosi made money from the president's death.

The authorities weren't looking for answers, but rather an admission of guilt. They kept saying over and over that he wouldn't admit that he was guilty. They never entertained the idea of him being innocent.

So they just wanted him to plead guilty and admit to it and that's it then?

Very simple Martin. If you have been to Dealy Plaza and looked at the ground and studied the angles you would know why I asked. But then you don't have any experience with rifles. If you did, you would know that a shot from the front and a shot from the grassy knoll just didn't happened. That renders a lot of the theories invalid. You've been a good sport Martin. By the way, I do respect your position of questioning everything. We just disagree.

That would depend a lot on what weapon was used and where it was shot from, right?

If you've been to Dealey Plaza, you would know that the TSBD SE 6th floor window is sealed off by a large glass case.  At least since the Sixth Floor Museum has been there.

John, in the Nix film beginning at the steps.  4 oaks trees, 1st is in shadows just left of steps, 2nd is almost parallel with Fort Worth sign, 3rd, and the 4th is about 15 feet from where the wood fence merges with the concrete embankment.  All of their trunks show up dark, the 4th tree, about 5 feet up from the ground is a light colored plume.  It dissects the trunk which appears to be about 10 to 12 inches in diameter.  There are no forks in the trunk for another 5 or 6 feet up so there is no way it is light shining through.  If that is a smoke plume drifting out from the fence about 15 feet away then it matches Mr Dodd, Mr Price's statements.  Since its a right angle view its hard to determine how close it is to that 4th tree.  One things for sure its between that dark trunk and Nix's lense.  It is probably what Mr Holland referred to as well but he put it further down to the east.  Mr Dodd and more especially Mr Price were at more a right angle to the fence then Mr Holland.  Its easier to pinpoint the origin of something coming more direct at you then you viewing it moving perpendicular to your position.  Its less visible in the Bell film but its there as well.  It shows up in the Nix film as the limo evens up with the Fort Worth sign so its captured sooner.  Please view and let me know if you see it.

There's no need to speculate....   It would have been impossible for anybody to fire a rifle from that sE corner window and hit JFK in the Lincoln at the time.   Not only was there a tree between the window and JFK ...the window was not open far enough to allow any gunman to stand behind that window and shoot down onto Elm street.   

The liars on LBJ's cover up committee said that Lee Oswald sat on a box back away from the window and aimed the Carcano out f the window and fired it, and killed JFK.    (They completely ignored Howard Brennan's eyewitness account in which Brennan said that the man who was dressed entirely differently than Lee Oswald, was STANDING and aiming a HUNTING rifle  out of a window. )   Lee couldn't have sat on a box back away from the window and declined the muzzle of the rifle low enough to hit anything on Elm street.

I?m quite certain the lack of motive (especially in a crime like this) doesn?t make it less likely to have been LHO (perhaps even more likely).
