That immaterial. If that particular list described the evidence released that night then Drain would have gotten the magic partial palmprint that night. He didn’t. It was mailed to Washington days later.
If that particular list described the evidence released that night then Drain would have gotten the magic partial palmprint that night. Thank you....You've just admitted that
if item #14 on the list ( The unaltered original ) described the evidence released then Drain would have received the "partial palmprint" ....Well it
DOES DESCRIBE the evidence.......Here's how item # 14 is described on the original list....

* 1 Partial palm print "off underside gun barrel near end of foregrip " on rifle C 2766... Unquote.
You'll notice that the words "Off underside of gun barrel near end of foregrip" C2766 are in quotation marks....That means the typist quoted the words that were on the 3 x 5 index card.
You may also notice that there is a tiny asterisk preceding the entry..... The tiny asterisk has great significance.......Because at the bottom of the document the meaning of that asterisk is revealed...The note at the bottom of the document says...Taken from 6th floor, 411Elm by Lt day and Detective Studebaker and taken to Crime Lab, City Hall.
Clearly, Lt. Day did NOT discover the so called "palmprint" in the Crime Lab after disassembling the rifle.....According to the original evidence inventory list he discovered the "partial palm print on the 6th floor of the TSBD.
PS.... Vince Drain initialed the card when he received it into evidence on 11 /22 63
