The screaming woman? Didn't happen. Didn't exist.
Nonsense. There was several people who reported shots from other than the Depository. The Warren Commission called Officer Joe Smith to testify.
Mr. LIEBELER. I show you a picture, an aerial view of the area that is marked Commission
Exhibit No. 354.
...
Mr. LIEBELER. I will put the
No. 4 in a circle on the spot of approximately where you
were standing at the time the motorcade went by. Is that approximately correct?
Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. You were facing east up Elm Street away from the triple underpass?
Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. So that your back was in fact turned to the School Book Depository Building?
Mr. SMITH. Yes.
...
Mr. SMITH. I started up toward this Book Depository after I heard the shots, and I didn't
know where the shots came from. I had no idea, because it was such a ricochet.
Mr. LIEBELER. An echo effect?
Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir.; and this woman came up to me and she was just in hysterics.
She told me, "They are shooting the President from the bushes." So I immediately
proceeded up here.
Mr. LIEBELER. You proceeded up to an area immediately behind the concrete structure
here that is described by Elm Street and the street that runs immediately in front
of the Texas School Book Depository, is that right?
Mr. SMITH. I was checking all the bushes and I checked all the cars in the parking lot.
...
Mr. LIEBELER. Down around the---let's put a
No. 5 there at the corner here behind this
concrete structure where the bushes were down toward the railroad tracks from
the Texas School Book Depository Building on the little street that runs down in
front of the Texas School Book Depository Building.
Mr. SMITH. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Now you say that you had the idea that the shots may have come from
up in that area?
Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir; that is just what, well, like I say, the sound of it. That was the most
helpless and hopeless feeling I ever had.
Mr. LIEBELER. Well, you mentioned before there was an echo from the shots in the area.
Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir.
...
Mr. LIEBELER. After you heard the shots, you proceeded down along the bushes here
between the street that runs in front of the Texas School Book Depository Building
and Elm Street to approximately
point 5, and then when you went down looking
to the cars, you then had occasion to look up at the railroad tracks running over the
triple underpass?
Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir.
The witnesses Bowers, Holland, Dodd, Simmons, Oliver didn't really see anything.
They probably saw what Bowers said he saw. Some peculiar visual movement behind the retaining wall. Holland originally said" "But the puff of smoke I saw definitely came from behind the arcade through the trees." and testified:
Mr. HOLLAND - There was a shot, a report, I don't know whether it was a shot. I can't say
that. And a puff of smoke came out about 6 or 8 feet above the ground right out from under
those trees. And at just about this location from where I was standing you could see that
puff of smoke, like someone had thrown a firecracker, or something out."
...
Mr. STERN - When you ran behind the picket fence after the shots were fired, did you
come near the area where the station wagon was parked?
Mr. HOLLAND - Went up to behind the arcade as far as you could go.
Mr. STERN - So, you would have passed where this station wagon was?
Mr. HOLLAND - Yes.
Holland thought it could have been a firecracker thrown out from the pergola, the first place he ran to after the shots.
Sitzman, who was in a position to see as she was a few feet from the fence corner, said the only unusual thing she saw happen in the area was a black couple running from there. She saw no gunman or gunsmoke, heard no gunshot, smelled no gunpowder.
Emmett J. Hudson, standing on the steps a few feet from the fence corner, was supposedly a few feet away and downwind from where the "smoke" was and he didn't observe or smell it. Nor heard it; he thought all the shots came from behind (to his left) the motorcade.
Mr. LIEBELER - But you are quite sure in your own mind that the shots came from the
rear of the President's car and above it; is that correct?
Mr. HUDSON - Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did you have any idea that they might have come from the Texas School
Book Depository Building?
Mr. HUDSON - Well, it sounded like it was high, you know, from above and kind of behind
like - in other words, to the left.
Mr. LIEBELER - And that would have fit in with the Texas School Book Depository, wouldn't it?
Mr. HUDSON - Yes.
OK.I guess you want a 8X10 glossy of a rifleman behind the fence
Well, that's lower than the standard of proof you kooks expect for a SN gunman. And then you would say it was a fake photo.
There were shells found at the SN and a rifle on the same floor; some witnesses saw a "pipe", rifle and a man with a rifle at the SN window. We have nothing like that for the grassy knoll "gunman". Even you think the Weigman film "smoke" is from a BBQ.

"Supposed theory"... "Thousands"
So witness veracity depends on how they accommodate your bias.
