Even the WC's own expert witness would NOT say that the rifle depicted in CE 133-A and CE 133-B is the same one found on the sixth floor of the TSBD.
****************************************************
The Warren Commission (WC), and the WC defenders on this board, claimed/claim that the rifle seen in the BackYard Photographs (BYPs) is the SAME ONE found in the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD). What do they base this on? I don't know. For IF they actually read their own evidence they would see NO IDENTIFICATION was ever made by Lyndal Shaneyfelt of the FBI laboratories!
****************************************
Mr. EISENBERG. Now, Mr. Shaneyfelt, based upon Exhibit 133A, upon your reproductions of Exhibit 133A, consisting of the Exhibits Nos. 746 A through E; and upon your photograph of the rifle, Exhibit 747, and your simulation of 133A, Exhibit 748---have you formed an opinion concerning whether Exhibit 139, the rifle used in the assassination, is the same or similar to the rifle pictured in Exhibit 133A?
Mr. SHANEYFELT. Yes; I have.
Mr. EISENBERG. Can you give us that opinion?
Mr. SHANEYFELT. Yes; I compared the actual rifle with the photograph, Exhibit 133A, and with the photographs that I prepared from Exhibit 133A, as well as the other simulated photograph and the photograph of the rifle, attempting to establish whether or not it could be determined whether it was or was not the same.
I found it to be the same general configuration. All appearances were the same. I found no differences. **I did not find any really specific peculiarities on which I could base a positive identification to the exclusion of all other rifles of the same general configuration.**
I did find one notch in the stock at this point that appears very faintly in the photograph, **but it is not sufficient to warrant positive identification.**
So how could the WC, and by extension present day WC defenders, make this claim when the FBI EXPERT would NOT? Why are they DISPUTING their OWN EXPERT too?
We again see that the actual evidence sinks the WC's conclusion.
