Was Tippit at Lancaster and 8TH?
Mark Ulrik replied to James DiEugenio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
I'm not sure I hear the "s" either, but there is something. I'm getting "lanktr'n'8th". -

Pretty sure Bill is correct here. It's doesn't sound like "Lansing" to me either. -
Lineups 1 & 2: What the witnesses saw
Mark Ulrik replied to Gil Jesus's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Completely different question and circumstances. But occupation and place of employment are different (albeit related) concepts. It's quite feasible to state one without revealing the other. Also, why would a suspect be required to tell the truth when the other participants aren't? As I understand it, the purpose of asking questions during a police lineup isn't even to elicit truth, but rather to enhance the identification process by adding sound. -
Lineups 1 & 2: What the witnesses saw
Mark Ulrik replied to Gil Jesus's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
I note that you reject Gil's version: Q: What do you do for a living, No. 2? A: I'm currently employed as an order filler, Sir, and although you didn't ask specifically, it's down at the book depository, you know, the building where the cops say the shots were fired from. -

I think the problem is that you made up the part where Oswald "gave his place of employment as the Texas School Book Depository". -
David Ferrie's voice for the first time!
Mark Ulrik replied to Vince Palamara's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
You've got to be kidding. She has no credibility whatsoever. Stephen Roy, Education Forum post, 11 Dec 2009, "Funny thing: I've had people who knew Ferrie well tell me that they thought Pesci's portrayal was pretty good. But when I first heard a recording of Ferrie's voice, I was struck by how low, well-paced, modulated and north/midwestern he sounded. And he was quite a bit taller than Pesci." Judyth Baker, Fetzer blog article, 6 Apr 2011, "David W. Ferrie is probably best known today through his portrayal by Joe Pesci in Oliver Stone’s film "JFK". Ferrie was taller and had a deeper voice ..." Stephen Roy, Education Forum post, 12 Apr 2011, "ABOUT WHICH BAKER SAID NOTHING UNTIL I POSTED IT ON THE INTERNET." -
An Interesting Document on Capt. J. Will Fritz
Mark Ulrik replied to Gil Jesus's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
He may have been a lone wolf and somewhat of a publicity hound, but so was Sherlock Holmes. The report also says that, "His ability as an officer cannot be questioned. His informant coverage is excellent." PS: The scan on the MFF site is easier to read: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=129778#relPageId=4 -
"Evidence" that was never identified
Mark Ulrik replied to Gil Jesus's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Boone and others guarded the rifle (CE 139) until Day came over and took possession, marked it, etc. This is fairly well documented. The notion that it wouldn't have been admitted into evidence in a criminal trial is just bizarre. As has been mentioned in recent threads, Norvell did identify CE 573 as the bullet he found (CE 2011). -
What do you mean by "identical"? That seems like an impossibly high standard in the real world. I don't know how it would play in a court of law, but I'd be skeptical of an expert witness claiming that two physical objects were identical.
-
Huh? The discussion on page 513 is about the Tippit bullets, not the Walker bullet. Your emphasis below. What did Nicol say about the Walker bullet? My emphasis below. Wow, it seems that Nicol actually did conclude that there was a fair probability that CE 573 was fired from the rifle used in the assassination of President Kennedy! WC 1 -- Gil 0

The REAL reason why Oswald went to Irving on 11.21.63
Mark Ulrik replied to Gil Jesus's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Gotta love the grandstanding. Don't ever change, Gil. One would be hard-pressed to find a better example of an actual red flag than the thread title. -
It's just an extremely poor quality photograph. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1135#relPageId=176

Steve Roe: Please Reveal Your Mystery Witness!
Mark Ulrik replied to Benjamin Cole's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
PS: I notice that it's prohibited to "take bears with steel trap". Wow! I'm allowed to bring my traps made of iron or brass!? Do you think that's a reasonable inference? Or could the term "steel trap" refer to a certain type of animal trap where "steel" is not necessarily supposed to be taken literally? -
Steve Roe: Please Reveal Your Mystery Witness!
Mark Ulrik replied to Benjamin Cole's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
But I'm allowed to use FMJ bullets? Let's hope I'm a crack shot then; otherwise we might end up having a bunch of mortally wounded bears running around. Remember the shootout scene in "Scarface"? It was the guy with the shotgun who got him in the end. Not a great analogy, but you get the picture ... I guess you're free to suspect anything you like. -
Steve Roe: Please Reveal Your Mystery Witness!
Mark Ulrik replied to Benjamin Cole's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
I think we all knew that, Gil. The WC already had Norvell (via the FBI) and Day identify the bullet, of course, but showing it to Walker would have been a nice touch. -
Steve Roe: Please Reveal Your Mystery Witness!
Mark Ulrik replied to Benjamin Cole's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
When asked why someone might have called CE 573 steel-jacketed, Frazier told the WC that the only reason he could think of was that some individuals commonly refer to rifle bullets as steel-jacketed. The same idea (that the term "steel-jacket" is a misnomer commonly applied to jacketed bullets) was expressed in the 1938 firearms identification book that I posted a page from earlier. It would be refreshing to see at least one of you guys show a bit of class and admit that Frazier's comment wasn't entirely made out of thin air to (say) appease the FBI director. -

Ben and Gil on the case. What can possibly go wrong? -

Bridges, Burtis C. Firearms Identification: The Science of Examining Guns and Ammunition Used in Crimes. Chicago Institute of Applied Science, 1938, p. 16 -
Beats me. Unlike the DPD, the FBI had other specimens to compare with. Even a trained monkey would have recognized the similarities between CE 573 and CE 399. Interesting. Was this offer mentioned in the K&K article? The bullet was in pretty poor condition, though, so maybe the thinking was to wait until other evidence (weapon, other bullets) turned up that it could realistically be matched to. Refreshingly candid of them to admit that they were determined to pin the crime on Oswald. Source?
