>But we are coming at this from different angles.
Indeed. Whenever I try to discuss the assassination with someone who sees it through the eyes of a determined lone nutter, I get a headache. Or what I shall henceforth call the Folsom Prism Blues.
>I, on the other hand am maintaining that it is much logical and much more probable that Witt simply forgot the events that occurred that day.<
I vividly recall, over 40 years later, exactly what I was doing in Gainesville, Florida when I heard about JFK being shot. But Mr. Witt, so you reason, forgot exactly what he was doing right there in Dealey Plaza, 15 years after the momentous fact, when JFK got shot only yards away from him. Pardon me if I don't respect that logic.
>What on earth would be his motive in coming forth and giving false information?<
Who knows? Perhaps it had something to do with a conspiracy, i.e. perhaps he was told or requested to do it. Ever heard of disinformation? The intelligence community is good at it.
