Title: Non problematic evidence?
Post by: Martin Weidmann on April 24, 2018, 09:20:31 PM
Can anybody name one piece of physical evidence conclusively tied to Oswald which is of such significance that it beyond reasonable doubt clearly points to his guilt?

I predict if you get any answer at all, it will be a variation of one of the following:

- A nonspecific reference to Bugliosi's "53".
- A nonspecific reference to "mountains" of evidence
- "Nothing would satisfy you people other than a video of Oswald in the act"
- "It's in the history books"
- "What's your evidence that Oswald didn't do it?"
- "Name your shooter"
- "Prove there was a conspiracy"

Pretty much anything other than an actual answer to the question you asked.

Jerry,

On it's own, CE-399 doesn't tell us much of anything. It has to be coupled with at least one other piece of evidence to have any evidentiary value. The same goes with pretty much all of the evidence. And that's why I haven't bothered responding to the OP.

So, basically you agree that there is not one single piece of physical evidence conclusively tied to Oswald which is of such significance that it beyond reasonable doubt clearly points to his guilt?

Could it actually be your position that all there really is are some individual pieces of physical evidence which perhaps can be tentatively linked to Oswald in some creative manner and require support from other similar pieces to construct a mere circumstantial case by making assumptions?

Obviously, if they can't the case against Oswald is lost by default except perhaps for some die hard LNs and those who believe Disneyland is a real country.

Marcus never destroyed the SBT at all. He muddled the numbers and facts of the real SBT and then proceeded to destroy a SBT of his own creation. He didn't waste any time before presenting his false data either. From page 1 of "The Bastard Bullet":

"The Commission contends that this bullet, after having been fired from the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle from the sixth-fioor window of the Texas School Book Depository, struck President Kennedy in the back at a point 5-3/8 inches below the top of his coat collar,"

Gosh, if only there was something to distinguish Oswald from other men who may have left their rings at home that day. What could it be?

Something about, I don't know, working in the building where a shooter shot JFK? Maybe, perhaps, something about carrying a large package into the building? Something about leaving nearly all of his money behind that day? Something about holding radical anti-US views?

No, we're supposed to ignore all of that and just think about the ring.

The "fact of the real Single  Bullet Theory"? So it is admitted there that it is indeed a theory?
Either that or someone's head seems to be "muddled".
Ladies and gentleman.....
The Report muddles the facts!
Quote
Mr. SPECTER. Now looking at that bullet, Exhibit 399, Doctor Humes, could that bullet have gone through or been any part of the fragment passing through President Kennedy's head in Exhibit No. 388?

Commander HUMES. I do not believe so, sir.

Mr. SPECTER. And could that missile have made the wound on Governor Connally's right wrist?

Commander HUMES. I think that that is most unlikely ... The reason I believe it most unlikely that this missile could have inflicted either of these wounds is that this missile is basically intact; its jacket appears to me to be intact, and I do not understand how it could possibly have left fragments in either of these locations.

Mr. SPECTER. Dr. Humes, under your opinion which you have just given us, what effect, if any, would that have on whether this bullet, 399, could have been the one to lodge in Governor Connally's thigh?

Commander HUMES. I think that extremely unlikely. The reports, again Exhibit 392 from Parkland, tell of an entrance wound on the lower midthigh of the Governor, and X-rays taken there are described as showing metallic fragments in the bone, which apparently by this report were not removed and are still present in Governor Connally's thigh. I can't conceive of where they came from this missile.

Here's what happened...  CE 399 was planted on a stretcher.
I believe it was fired from the suspect rifle...but previously ...into a mattress maybe then retrieved and kept to use as incriminating evidence so that it could be identified by ballistics.
Another 'bread crumb' someone has called it.

We have a number of guest viewers, so for the benefit of all...

Commission Exhibit 399, is supposed to have:

    entered President Kennedy?s upper back,
    passed through his upper back and lower neck,
    come out of his throat just below the Adam?s apple,
    entered Governor John Connally?s back close to his right armpit,
    passed through his body, smashing several inches of one rib,
    come out of the right side of his chest,
    passed through his right wrist, breaking the radius bone,
    embedded itself in his left thigh,
    and finally, while Connally was laying on a stretcher in Parkland Hospital, the bullet worked its way out of his thigh and fell onto the stretcher, where it was discovered by a hospital employee.

As your link above mentions, Darrell Tomlinson was the hospital worker who said he found it.

Questions about planting a bullet:

How did the "planters" know to plant a bullet that was only "slightly" damaged if it was to have gone through at least one person the President? And no one else?

How did the "planters" know they could plant that bullet before they knew how many other bullets would be recovered? How could they have known that CE 399 would not be the "extra bullet" that would blow the whole plot? That it wouldn't reveal another shooter?

How did the "planters" know what general size, shape and condition the bullet could be - had to be - before the actual bullets would be found? Before Connally was operated on?  What if a large part of the bullet that hit JFK was found in JFK's neck or upper back, a piece or fragment that was too big to have come from CE 399? What if a large piece was lodged in Connally? What if it had gone through JFK and hit the interior of the car? Or another passenger?

How did the "planters" know before the assassination they could do all of this, i.e, plant that specific bullet with its unique qualities, afterwards? That their actions wouldn't reveal the plot?

And, if CE 399 isn't the bullet that went through JFK, then where IS that bullet? Did it disappear?

Questions about planting a bullet:
I reviewed the testimony of Tomlinson pasting some here.
 http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/tomlinso.htm
Quote
Mr. TOMLINSON. I don't know anything about what could have happened to them in between the time I was gone, and I made several trips before I discovered the bullet on the end of it there.....
later testimony......

Mr. SPECTER. Now, after I tell you that, does that have any effect on refreshing your recollection of what you told the Secret Service man?
Mr. TOMLINSON. No it really doesn't---it really doesn't.
Mr. SPECTER. So, would it be a fair summary to say that when I first started to talk to you about it, your first view was that the stretcher you took off of the elevator was stretcher A, and then I told you that the Secret Service man said it was---that you had said the stretcher you took off of the elevator was the one that you found the bullet off, and when we talked about the whole matter and talked over the entire situation, you really can't be completely sure about which stretcher you took off of the elevator, because you didn't push the stretcher that you took off of the elevator right against the wall at first?
Mr. TOMLINSON. That's right.
Mr. SPECTER. And, there was a lot of confusion that day, which is what you told me before?
Mr. TOMLINSON. Absolutely. And now, honestly, I don't remember telling him definitely-I know we talked about it, and I told him that it could have been. Now, he might have drawed his own conclusion on that.
Mr. SPECTER. You told the Secret Service agent that you didn't know where---
Mr. TOMLINSON. (interrupting). He asked me if it could have been brought down from the second floor.
Mr. SPECTER. You got the stretcher from where the bullet came from, whether it was brought down from the second floor?
Mr. TOMLINSON. It could have been--I'm not sure whether it was A I took off.
Mr. SPECTER. But did you tell the Secret Service man which one you thought it was you took off of the elevator?
Mr. TOMLINSON. I'm not clear on that---whether I absolutely made a positive statement to that effect.
Mr. SPECTER. You told him that it could have been B you took off of the elevator?
Mr. TOMLINSON. That's right.
Mr. SPECTER. But, you don't remember whether you told him it was A you took off of the elevator?
Mr. TOMLINSON. I think it was A---I'm not really sure.
I have questions too.
Why did the Secret Service need to interview Tomlinson a week after the FBI did?
Seems like the president's body guards were more conscientious/diligent after he was killed than they ever were before hand.
Questions alright...that the Commission should have answered.

Not too high, not if any of you were in any way reasonable, even in the slightest.

The way you characters practically need to have caught Oswald with his pants down (so-to-speak) right there in the SN firing the Carcano pretty much drives the CT standard of proof bar clear out of the known universe.

As JFK said, if someone wanted to shoot him with a rifle from a tall building there was nothing anyone could do about it. That is unless the President would stop traveling in an open limo; which is what happened after the assassination.

Did the SS perform poorly? Yes, it certainly appears so but I'm not sure they could have stopped Oswald - who I think shot JFK - from killing the president.

As to my questions: It's pretty obvious - at least to me - that it would be impossible to plant create or produce the right, e.g., size, shape, condition, bullet that fit the scenario BEFORE knowledge of the actual shooting was obtained. How could any "planters" foresee or predict what would happen? How could they be sure that the bullet they planted wouldn't be an extra one, one that would show their conspiracy? How could they know that the bullet that did hit JFK didn't fragment so that their phony bullet would expose their acts? There's a whole series of outcomes of the actual shooting that they couldn't know about.

Besides, the bullet that exited JFK's throat/neck had to go somewhere. Where did it go?

Quote

Sure but why would Oswald LIE about the contents of the package?, Oswald told Frazier the long package contained curtain rods but Oswald told the Dallas Police that Frazier was mistaken and that he only had sandwiches.
And don't forget Oswald also said he carried his lunch on his lap, another LIE!
Btw while in custody Oswald's LIES whenever the rifle came up were extremely incriminating;
1. Lying about buying, possessing and being seen using the murder weapon.
2. Lying about his package.
3. Lying about where he put his package.
4. Lying about the backyard photos.
5. Lying about never living at Neeley Street.
6. etc etc

Quote
You mean the way he left money for Marina every time he visited?

Oswald made 50 bucks a week gross then after taxes and rent and bus rides and food he was left with less, so to save $170 Oswald had to have saved for at least a month but in that time he visited Marina at least twice, did he leave any substantial money behind or did he seemingly out of character just happen to leave virtually all his money the night before the assassination?
And hypothetically if Oswald believed his marriage was over by leaving his ring in Marina's cup then why would he leave most of his money and only leave himself with a pocket of change and a five dollar note?

Quote
Something about admiring JFK...

Are you sure? Oswald admired Kennedy so much that while Oswald's hero was passing by the building, Oswald steadfastly refused to witness what would surely be a once in a lifetime opportunity and instead just sat in the lunchroom? LOL!

Oswald's Carcano rifle found on the sixth floor of the TSBD is evidence against Oswald that isn't problematic. However, would it be enough on it's own to convince a jury of Oswald's guilt? Probably, but there is the slight chance that it would not.  Now, include the shell casings found in the Sniper's nest and the evidence against Oswald becomes conclusive.  Replace the shell casings with the fragments found in the limo or  CE-399 and the case against Oswald is similarly conclusive.

Probably, but there is the slight chance that it would not.  Now, include the shell casings found in the Sniper's nest and the evidence against Oswald becomes conclusive.  Replace the shell casings with the fragments found in the limo or  CE-399 and the case against Oswald is similarly conclusive.

Oswald's Carcano?..... Really?

Now, include the shell casings found in the Sniper's nest and the evidence against Oswald becomes conclusive.

Nope.. not even by a long shot

Replace the shell casings with the fragments found in the limo or  CE-399 and the case against Oswald is similarly conclusive.

Now I know you are not serious. When you claim that the fragments "found in the limo" and CE-399 are not problematic, you truly have gone off the deep end

The shell casings and fragments (if genuine) might implicate a particular rifle, but not a shooter.

As your link above mentions, Darrell Tomlinson was the hospital worker who said he found it.

Questions about planting a bullet:

How did the "planters" know to plant a bullet that was only "slightly" damaged if it was to have gone through at least one person the President? And no one else?

How did the "planters" know they could plant that bullet before they knew how many other bullets would be recovered? How could they have known that CE 399 would not be the "extra bullet" that would blow the whole plot? That it wouldn't reveal another shooter?

How did the "planters" know what general size, shape and condition the bullet could be - had to be - before the actual bullets would be found? Before Connally was operated on?  What if a large part of the bullet that hit JFK was found in JFK's neck or upper back, a piece or fragment that was too big to have come from CE 399? What if a large piece was lodged in Connally? What if it had gone through JFK and hit the interior of the car? Or another passenger?

How did the "planters" know before the assassination they could do all of this, i.e, plant that specific bullet with its unique qualities, afterwards? That their actions wouldn't reveal the plot?

And, if CE 399 isn't the bullet that went through JFK, then where IS that bullet? Did it disappear?

Whoever planted that bullet was not concerned with what it was supposed to have inflicted. A bullet that could be definitely linked to the suspected rifle was what was desired.

Same as above. Only that bullet would be found. The fix was in. This is why the body of the president was Shanghai-ed back to DC ASAP.

Asking the same basic question redundantly. The president's dead body received more 'protection' than when he was alive!

No. For all we know there are still bullets in the president's body. They put him in the ground ASAP by orders of LBJ.

Jerry, I was unaware until about a week ago the Jessy Curry bought a carcano and then had (Larry Howard) fire it into a bullet trap to duplicate CE 399 ( The magic bullet)    In my mind this is solid proof that Curry KNEW that CE 399 had been created by firing it into a bullet trap....   

Curry  wanted a replica of CE 399 and he knew how to create that replica....   Why didn't Curry have Mr Howard fire into something that simulated the bodies of JFK and JBC??

Under a wooden pallet? A few wooden pallets with book cartons on them surround the area of the floor where the rifle lay.

I've been following a show called "The Curse of Oak Island" for awhile now. When they find something, the announcer goes off on a tangent, exaggerating the significance and linkage. That's like you; you can't just have the rifle on the floor -- it's got to be under a pallet.

It doesn't matter if a conspiracy can be proven or not. Even if it can't be proven, it still does not allow the conclusion that Oswald did it (alone), so your question has very little to do with my question. Care to try again?

A preponderance of evidence is hardly any good if the evidence itself is weak, speculative and questionable, right?

If you go there and state that a preponderance of evidence points to LHO's guilt, you must feel comfortable that the actual evidence is authentic and valid, right?

Who ever claimed otherwise?

But it does require that evidence is at least authentic, valid and pertains to the case. A prosecutorial case against a defendant tries to connect dots between pieces of evidence. If those pieces of evidence are not sound enough to withstand scrutiny, the entire case can fail.

You don't build a house on weak foundation, right?

I didn?t say the things you wrote. Those are your words. I am not trying to tell you that you have to defend your conclusions to me. I am only suggesting that it is wise to have an open mind.

None of that is reflected in anything you have written here. All you?ve done is said that you?re convinced, you?re not interested in discussing the evidence, and that you?ve ?already considered? all the objections to the evidence and you don?t care because your mind is made up.

That?s great for you, but not a particularly compelling defense of the official narrative.

Which brings us back to the basic question I asked earlier; what in the world are you doing here?

It seems at least a bit strange to me that you join a forum that discusses the case against Oswald and thus also the evidence only to refuse to discuss the evidence or the case.

You keep on telling us that you didn't say things you clearly implicitely did say and you keep telling everybody to have an open mind whilst at the same time displaying time after time that your own mind is clearly closed.

In any event, now the members of this forum have noted that in your opinion the evidence is "overwhelming convincing", is there anything left to be discussed with you?

I joined many years ago to learn. I was here long before the forum had to start all over and all of us had to re-register. If I remember correctly my screen name was porterhaus. I have already discussed many aspects with a lot of different members. I don?t have a desire to repeat the arguments that have been discussed countless times before.

You are behaving like I?m some newcomer that is saying things that I never said.

I keep returning from time to time to see if there is any new items that are being discussed. Typically I say what I mean and mean what I say. However, misunderstandings are common here and other similar venues.

Despite the fact that you know that is unlikely;

I appreciate your comments Paul. I keep hoping that something new will be uncovered but know that it is unlikely. My first post here involved looking for evidence of the timing of the shot that the WC never defined the timing of. I have explored many avenues and learned a lot. I don?t claim to be an expert, don?t have all the details memorized, but I do believe that I have looked at this with an open mind. And that is the point that I wish to make.

So, what to make of this;

You are right. However, I don?t think that I yet know everything about the assassination that I would like to know. And I really do want to have an open mind. This is a place where both sides of the controversy can be discussed. So here I am.

Except you are not discussing anything. Go figure!


However, misunderstandings are common here and other similar venues.

Misunderstandings can very often be simply avoided by speaking more clearly and explaining something when asked.

No, because jumping to conclusions is part of a process to trying to understand. Even if one does not jump to a conclusion the misunderstanding will still be there, albeit unresolved.

When you keep talking in riddles and implicitely saying things that you claim you are not saying, you basically invite people to jump to conclusions.

The conclusion I have now jumped to whilst btw having an open mind, is that you, like some of your LN brothers, have nothing significant to offer and are only wasting my time.

Asking a question instead of telling someone that they said something that they didn?t might be something for you to consider doing.

That wouldn't happen of course if you answered questions to begin with, which of course you don't!

Since you offer no contribution to the discussion(s) or the forum, that might indeed be the best advice you have ever given.


You seem to be eager to give other people advice on what they should do, so let's see if you are as equally eager at accepting advice; perhaps you should ask yourself why the majority of people you have talked to in your posts since re-joining all have the same or at least similar opinion of you?.

I was 10-years old and in the classroom at school when the assassination took place. I think that most everyone would agree that it is highly unlikely that I had anything to do with any alleged conspiracy. You might want to consider refocusing your attention to the assassination. Most readers are probably more interested in the assassination than they are in little old me.

I think that the reason you keep wanting to have the same old arguments is that you are not very secure in your opinion. I am satisfied with my opinion. I have examined the evidence and answered any questions that I had to my satisfaction. Sometimes my questions were presented here and discussed.

Yes, so you say. And in that there's no big suprise there. Every zealot is convinced that he is right. However, not having the guts to discuss the evidence and coming up with a lame excuse for that, is a far better indicator of just how secure you really feel then something you just think.

It was obvious what you were doing and putting a question mark behind it doesn't alter that one bit.

The only part of the "question" that possibly required an answer was if I was being paid, which was a ridicilous question to begin with..

That I "harass people that have a different viewpoint" was and is a claim not a question.

Since when is it a virtue to be secure in one?s opinion? Particularly when things that contradict that opinion are disregarded as ?not important?.

If someone could come up with an opinion that fits ALL the evidence and is more compelling than ?the WC said it, I believe it, and that settles it?, I may very well change my mind. That?s the benefit of preferring science to faith when trying to decide what?s true and what?s not.

Unfortunately, it seems you are not that person.

I responded with a lengthy and detailed explanation. Then all of a sudden he?s not interested in discussing the evidence.
