Perhaps it might be very valuable to see who else was expelled in the same time frame.

I'll be spending the next four weeks in Arizona and Texas meeting with co-authors for my 4th and 5th books to be published. Neither have anything JFK related

I said most not all. When witnesses are not separated before being interviewed, they cross pollinate each other. Sarcasm about something you know nothing about is unbecoming!

20 years with Detroit PD including twice assigned to the tac unit, twice to homicide, csi, trained&qualifed as a sniper and the original firearms instructor for Detroit SWAT I can assure you that most ear and eyewitnesses are useless.

less than 24 hrs before? Utter nonsense!

We need to remember Oswald was trained on the M-1 Garand. A semiautomatic rifle that held 8 rounds and was accurate. Why hesitate to steal an excellent rifle if you really planned to murder the President?

I did two separate tours in Homicide interrupted by being the original training Sgt for Detroit SWAT. The more experience I got at Homicide the less I was motivated not to rush in and make instant conclusions. Interviewing is a job while interrogating is an art that is slowly learned. The guys who broke me in at Homicide were experts at interrogation and told me rather firmly to watch and listen!

Sounds credible does not mean IS credible. Without the opportunity to sit down face to face and go over her story repeatedly looking for changes and inconsistencies are critical. What motivates people to lie is the question.

Watching a filmed interview is not the same as being there AND interviewing and interrogation are two different processes. Why do people lie many years after the event? My pop was a documented witness for a dramatic event and 50 years later other claimed to be there too and their lies were easily dismissed. She sounds credible but the key would be to be in the room.

Before I did two tours at Detroit Homicide, I thought that eyewitnesses were genuinely of value. They often are not and even many cops are not. The key is to keep that separated so they don't crosspollinate their testimony.

Have you ever shot an AR-15? Have you watched were your brass lands? Everybody is an expert on the subject of gunfighting until they actually shot at or their X-Box breaks.

Nonsense. I've shot thousands of rounds out of AR-15's. M-16's, and M4's and the round never landed in my lap though I did once get a hot 5.56 case between me and my body armor in the middle of a drug raid that left me with a nifty scar!

Well, perhaps but it wasn't fired anyway and did all the bullets you claim were all end up in JFK?

An AR-15 is a semiauto rifle and is incapable of firing a burst of rounds. I currently own three and they are weapons designed and capable of firing only one round at a time.

It seems to me that if Phillips knew Oswald wasn't in Mexico he must have KNOWN where he really was during this time frame.

I am fascinated how Phillips has morphed from a conspirator to a reliable source of information

I was attending Brigham Young University in Utah on 11/22/63 and watched the new reports and having a young brain remembered all sorts of information that did not fit the one lone nut killed JFK and then another lone nut killed him. I also remember the Kilduff press conference where he pointed to his forehead when talking about a bullet to the head. It took me a few years, but I read the 26 volumes and noticed how many times testimony was interrupted and taken off the record just when things got interesting.

Before I was assigned to Homicide, I had a lot more faith in eye and ear witnesses. Reliance on the Zapruder film reminds me of the Sunday School Teacher who showed us a picture of a large snow-covered mountain and told us you could see a picture of Jesus if you looked carefully enough. Since I'd never seen a picture of Jesus how would I recognize him? Even most cops would not correctly id the location of a shot. John Connolly was actually the best witness there. He was a hunter AND he knew he shot prior to JFK. Perhaps it we could shelve our left or right leaning bias's and leave our egos home might actually come to a resolution to this. My partner and I were considered radicals at Homicide because if our preconceived notions did not pan out. We would start over and approach from a different angle AND sometimes we discovered the truth.

We have to be careful that we don't become victims of our own experience. I attended several hundred autopsies between CSI and two tours in Homicide. I never saw a rifle wound where the exit was smaller than the entrance wound AND the only homicide, I saw with multiple rifle wounds to the head where the features were still recognizable was with a .30 caliber M-1 Carbine which was a much smaller and weaker round than the .30-06 round which was used in the M-1 Garand. But again, a lot is not the same as all.

no, he did not. Our dinner started at 4AM Detroit time and once he found out I was a former Detroit Homicide copper he became a lot more open. He did recognize Johnny Roseli and hinted that Ruby was an untapped gold mine. I had been up for 24 hours + and had a number of meetings at the SHOT Show the next day and I finally apologized and went to bed.

I spent the first 22 years of my life worrying about if people liked me or not. Once I ended that concern, I accomplished much more. Maybe if it was required to check your Ego's at the door, we could finally solve this mystery.

Frankly, I think we need more Salsa and less ego!

calling people silly names often reveals more about the accuser than the accused!

Focusing on personal beliefs that have little or no relevance the subject we should be focused on will just muddy the water. I was born in Salt Lake City, but I promise I'll never send the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to harass you.
