Did Poe Mark The Shells?

[Tim Nickerson]

"Dhority supposedly told Odum so" is your good reason?

Unfortunately, Dhority had no first hand knowledge where the shell he identified was even found.

Nope. Dhority was shown the shell casing by Bardwell Odum and he positively identified it as the one that he obtained form Virginia Davis on Nov 22, 1963.

What do you mean, "nope"?  All you're doing is just restating the claim.

I'm giving you the fact as it is recorded in an official FBI document. That document does not say that "Dhority supposedly told Odum".

Being written in an "official FBI document" doesn't confer any special truth to the claim.

That's indeed what the document says.  Some anonymous author claims that Dhority told Odum something.  Was this ever confirmed by Dhority, Odum, or Davis?

No, that's not justice really. Or my definition of it. Oswald deserved a trial; just because he didn't believe in the rule of law, just because he rejected our ideas of democracy (remember he wrote that the US economic and political systems were "slave" systems), doesn't mean we should too.

In any case, I think a trial would have answered most of these questions that people have. He would have revealed himself to what he really was: an angry disaffected person. I think he'd use the trial to put the US system on trial; he wanted the communist lawyer John Abt for that very specific reason. To be sure the conspiracy crowd - elements of them - would still believe in his innocence. If he was sitting on their laps as he shot JFK they'd deny it was him. We know the type. They have an almost emotional attachment to the guy; notice they call him "Lee" and "poor old Lee"? Very odd.

I agree that even lowlifes like Oswald deserve their day in court but can you imagine what would have happened if Oswald's trial had turned out like that of Jack Ruby! I mean, it couldn't be any plainer who hot Oswald and even his guilty verdict was overturned on appeal due to technicalities.

Once again the mysterious CE2011 is used to "support" a claim that can not be supported in any other way. How convenient?...

The fact is.... Nobody can verify with 100% certainty that the shells in the archives are the exact same shells that were allegedly picked up at the scene...

BTW... Did you send a PM .....   I received notice but no message....
