Greg Doudna said: Fingerprints on the Tippit cruiser likely from the killer of Tippit are have long been established and known to not match to Oswald; Oswald is excluded as a match to those fingerprints. There is no reason whatsoever to believe that the partial prints lifted from the patrol car ever belonged to the killer. No witness ever said the killer touched the front passenger fender. Why would the killer touch the front passenger fender? These partial prints are not "likely" to have come from the killer, despite the claim by Doudna.

Domingo Benavides was tending to a broken down vehicle on Patton Avenue. To go to the auto parts store, he proceeded east in the alley behind Harris Bros. Motors (this alley ran parallel to Tenth Street and Jefferson Boulevard, halfway between the two). He took a left onto Denver and then a right onto Tenth, heading east on Tenth toward the auto parts store at Tenth and Marsalis. Realizing he forgot the parts number, Benavides turned around in one of the driveways on Tenth and proceeded west on Tenth. He crossed through the intersection with Denver and was driving west on Tenth (back toward the broken down vehicle on Patton) when he came upon the scene. Benavides drove his truck east in the alley and never made any mention of any police cars being in that alley. Those familiar with the tall-tales of supposed "researchers" will understand the significance of this. The bottom line is, there was no police car in that alley approximately ninety seconds before the Tippit shooting.

Driven by a Secret Service agent from D.C. to Detroit. The windshield was removed while the limo was still in D.C., so how could a guy in Detroit be used in determining whether or not there was a hole in the windshield?

Good grief. Nice work, Steve.

Within the first few days after the assassination, the vehicle was sent (flown?) to Detroit. There was a witness there... No. Cincinnati, not Detroit. So what witness are you referring to?

This appears staged. Jackie could not have sat in those alleged remains and have very little stains on the back of her skirt. Who says Jackie sat in the remains? Where do you think President Kennedy's head went as soon as Jackie got out onto the trunk?

Oh boy. Anyway... The bullet (CE-399) leaves the muzzle of the Carcano traveling around 2100 feet per second. The bullet, traveling roughly 1700 feet per second, strikes Kennedy in the upper back and exits the neck. The bullet, now slowed having passed through Kennedy's neck, hits Connally in the back, causing an 8mm x 15mm elliptical wound. This wound measurement proves that the bullet was tumbling when it hit Connally's back, proof that the bullet had passed through something else BEFORE hitting Connally in the back. The bullet, now traveling at around 1300 to 1400 feet per second, strikes Connally's fifth rib, completely shattering it. Damage to the bullet was minimal due to the fact that it was not traveling anywhere near full speed when it struck the rib. The bullet exits Connally's chest and while traveling less than half(?) of it's original rate of speed, enters the right wrist, striking the radius bone. Again, damage to the bullet is minimal because of it's slow rate of speed when it struck the radius. Basically, the bullet was traveling fast enough to cause damage to bones, but not fast enough to be damaged by impact with the bones. Every traveling bullet has a threshold where it is moving fast enough to destroy but not fast enough to be destroyed. Because it first passed through Kennedy, this bullet was within that threshold when it struck Connally's rib. The bullet exits the palm side of the wrist and while traveling at less than one-fifth of it's original speed, enters the left thigh and embedding itself in the thigh muscles. The bullet didn't go any further because it was not traveling fast enough upon striking the thigh. The bottom line is that damage to the bullet was minimal because, when it struck rib bone and radius bone, it simply had been slowed considerably, moving too slowly to be damaged. The bullet would have been greatly fragmented (basically destroyed), if when it struck the radius bone in Connally's right wrist, it was traveling at the same rate of speed as it was when it struck Kennedy in the upper back.

This is a walking tour I did of the Tippit scene, related to the witnesses, what they said they saw, etc... If you feel I said something wrong here, let me know.

Okay. Because of the evidence, "we know" that Lee Oswald (alone) is a cop-killer and a political assassin.

Who is "we" and why do you continually use this appeal in an attempt to make your point seem credible?

On the day of the assassination, Frazier stated that he didn't see Oswald after 11 AM. Then, roughly forty years later, in an interview with Gary Mack, Frazier tells Mack that he saw Oswald after the assassination crossing Houston Street. Mack (knowing what Frazier said on 11/22/63) is visually taken aback by this.

You're having it both ways. Frazier, to prevent WW3, agrees to lie, saying Oswald was not out on the steps even though he (Oswald) was. Frazier, apparently not worried about starting WW3, didn't lie about the length of the bag even though he very easily could and no one would be the wiser. Is this really your stance here?

And she (Randle) said it was three feet long.

Well said. I was thinking the same thing. Does Larsen do this sort of thing a lot?

My quote is accurate. I didn't change the quote at all.

On film.... Reporter: "Were you in the building at the time?" Oswald: "Naturally, if I work in that building, yes sir." Oswald admits, on film, that he was inside the building at the time of the shooting. Therefore, Oswald was not out by the front steps. If Oswald was not out by the front steps, then he is not prayer man. If Oswald is not prayer man, then who cares who prayer man was.

So now you ARE accepting eyewitness identifications, whether they be positive or negative? Okay then. That means Oswald killed Tippit and/or ran from the scene with a gun in his hands. according to the positive identifications of the following eyewitnesses: Helen Markham William Scoggins Barbara Davis Virginia Davis Sam Guinyard Ted Callaway Warren Reynolds Pat Patterson Harold Russell Right?

When Oswald first boarded Whaley's cab, he gave Whaley a destination five blocks past the rooming house. Once they passed the rooming house and reached a point three blocks past, Oswald told Whaley to pull over and let him out (getting out of the cab two blocks short of the original destination). To me, this is obvious... Oswald wanted the cab to go past the rooming house (versus actually stopping there) in case the authorities were waiting for him there. They weren't, but he couldn't know that. Therefore, Oswald couldn't have had the cab wait for him out front of the rooming house while he went inside.

It was Garrison who claimed that, not me. I just reported what he claimed. No. You didn't JUST report what Garrison claimed. You stated as a "fact" what the film showed as if you'd seen it for yourself. I'm hoping next time you'll be much more careful about what you post.

BINGO! We have a winner.

Shot at after meeting a "friend" who dropped to the ground to avoid getting hit. His car blown up when he started it, burning him, imbedding glass in his chest. Run off the road, back broken 2X, leg, shoulder, foot. Disabled. I have some beachfront property to sell you in beautiful tropical Arizona.

His [Roger Craig] mis spoken time of hearing about the Tippit shooting is immediately corrected when countered by Penn Jones. What you are ignoring here is that a few years later, after already accepting that the Tippit shooting took place at 1:15 (saying it occurred at 1:40 and then accepted the correction by Penn Jones that it was 1:15), he L I E D and said that when he heard of the Tippit shooting on a nearby police radio, he glanced at his watch and it said the time was 1:06. How does he remember something like that (1:06) in the early 70's while having no clue about the time of the Tippit shooting in the 1968 interview (1:40 and 1:15)?

"The Mentesana film shows a police officer gingerly carrying the rifle" "I haven't seen the Mentesana film myself"

Speaking of flawed summaries... Gil... Have you retracted your claim that William Scoggins was lying in the street beside his cab and therefore never saw the fleeing gunman's face? I mean, actually lying down in the street?
