Roger Craig

[Gary Craig]

When did Weitzman ever say it was a Weaver?

I couldn't find anything other than that statement.

I wonder if there is another affidavit that disappeared that mentions a Weaver scope.

Boone's affidavits/reports are dated 11/22, Weitzman's 11/23. 

Maybe he re-did his affidavit/reports on 11/23 and the FBI sent over Special Agent Sayers to make sure he got it right.

If he did mistake the Carcano for a Mauser, or at least wanted people to think he did, the one part of the set up he wouldn't have shouldn't have got wrong, based on the detail in his description, was the Japanese made scope. IMO

Unfortunately we don't have a photo of the mauser so we can see what the scope on the mauser looked like ......  But we can safely assume that it wasn't very distinctive .....  It would have been stupendous if Weitzman had said that the scope on the mauser was a large and powerful scope ( Like Arnold Rowland described)

Maybe the Mauser was the rifle with the Weaver scope.

Maybe the Mauser was the rifle with the Weaver scope.

A distinct possibility....   These are the kind of ideas that may produce something solid to talk about.....  But arguing that the rifle that Weitzman and Boone discovered was a mauser  is utter nonsense.

That's because the existing Alyea film tells you nothing about what Roger Craig saw.  Or what Weitzman saw for that matter.

the existing Alyea film tells you nothing about what Roger Craig saw.

But the Alyea film and the corroborating testimonies does tell an intelligent person what Roger Craig could NOT have seen....ie; A 7.65 mauser.

If Weitzman saw one then Craig could have seen one as well.

  Extract your head. Film can't tell you what didn't happen. What part of that don't you get? And your thoughts re a shooter being in the TSBD? Cock a doodle do.
