Oswald's Light-Colored Jacket

[John Iacoletti]

Well then feel free to prove that these witnesses saw different men.

Claim the lineups were unfair.  Okay.

Claim the witness identification was wrong and it was not Oswald who they saw.  Okay.

But, to claim that these witnesses saw different men is dangerously close to taking up residence in Kookville.

You only think so because your entire argument rests on that, since almost none of your "witnesses" actually witnessed a crime.

No bruises or gashes on any of these guys' eyes, either.

I rest my case.

They picked the guy with the bruised face.

That was easy.

So none of the other guys had any bruises? cite?

Exactly how long do you feel that a bruise should linger?

That photo you posted of the lineup participants was taken over five and a half months after the lineups.

I'm not arguing that any of the lineup participants actually had a bruise on their face, even though it can't be ruled out.  But, what does posting a photo of the participants taken almost six months later do to prove how these men looked on 11/22/63?  Please explain.

So now your number isn't close after all.

You're not bluffing, are you?

What on Earth are you blathering about?
Here is my original post.

Yep the chances that Markham would pick a particular random person out of four is obviously 1 in 4, then we have another 5 eyewitnesses who all had an equal chance of 1 in 4 of picking some random dude therefore when totalled means that for all the 6 eyewitnesses to choose the same random guy is close to astronomical!

A small number < "close to astronomical" < astronomical.

Hahahaha, when was the CE1054 taken?

[John Mytton]

I would expect them to have in a fair lineup.

Do you have photos of the lineups?

So you made a statement which you had no way of knowing is true, awesome!

Do you have photos of the lineups?

Unbelievable!

Mid-May of '64.

So, in an attempt to suggest evidence contamination (fibers found inside the bag being a match to the blanket fibers), we have Iacoletti posting a photo of the bag and blanket in contact with each other which was taken three days AFTER the bag was analyzed and the fibers were found inside the bag and studied by Stombaugh.

Now, we have Iacoletti posting a photo of Clark, Perry and Ables (the lineup participants along with Oswald) taken almost six months after the lineups were conducted in an attempt to show that these three men didn't have visible bruises on 11/22/63.

Nuts.
