JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: How Do LNers Deal With Givens?
« Last post by John Corbett on Yesterday at 11:06:48 AM »One of the more blatant fabrications of the Warren Commission Sham was the introduction of Charles Givens' fictional account of going back up to the 6th floor and seeing Oswald coming from the southeast corner.
How do LNers deal with this fabrication? How do they explain it away?
And this was no trivial detail.
It was one of the key pieces of evidence the Sham offered up in the conclusions of its final report placing Oswald at the scene of the crime.
"Fingerprint and palmprint evidence establishes that Oswald handled two of the four cartons next to the window and also handled a paper bag which was found near the cartons. Oswald was seen in the vicinity of the southeast corner of the sixth floor approximately 35 minutes before the assassination and no one could be found who saw Oswald anywhere else in the building until after the shooting. An eyewitness to the shooting immediately provided a description of the man in the window which was similar to Oswald's actual appearance. This witness identified Oswald in a lineup as the man most nearly resembling the man he saw and later identified Oswald as the man he observed. Oswald's known actions in the building immediately after the assassination are consistent with his having been at the southeast corner window of the sixth floor at 12:30 p.m. On the basis of these findings the Commission has concluded that. Oswald, at the time of the assassination, was present at the window from which the shots were fired."[WC Report pg156]
How did you establish that Givens account was fictional?
It really doesn't matter because this isn't a key piece of evidence. There is plenty of forensic evidence that establishes Oswald was the one firing the shots from the sniper's nest at 12:30. As Bugliosi pointed out, anyone who doesn't believe that is either unfamiliar with the evidence or a very silly person. Which camp do you fall in?
Hmm…possible but It would be almost the same result:a portion of lead separated completely from the copper jacket and flew to the curb, while the Rest of the bullet with copper went into the grass ( or where?)
