Right. So if the guy Brennan saw had actually stood up after the last shot then Brennan would have known that he wasn't standing prior to that. But he didn't.
Could still be on his feet in Brennan's mind, who's seeing more of the man's body and thinking he's moved closer to the window.
He describes things in sequence in his affidavit:
"I was looking at the man in this windows at the time of the last
explosion. Then this man let the gun down to his side and stepped
down out of sight. He did not seem to be in any hurry. I could see
this man from about his belt up."
I'm not aware of any place other than his testimony where he supposedly conflated the sequence of events.
Again, that works if the guy is standing far enough behind the window.
I don't agree. Not at Rowland's angle. Look at the Hess video again. Well, I guess it depends on how far back the gunman was. How about back towards the northwest?
I need a link for that.
There's not much light in that SW corner. There's only three sets of windows on the west side of the building. The interior of the west wall is in shade.
Rowland | | Asked about how much of rifleman's body was in the open view where there was no window |
| | |
| | From where I was standing I could see from his head to about 6 inches below his waist, below his belt. |
| | |
| | Mid point between the waist and the knees ... To the top of his head. There was some space on top of that where I could see the wall behind him ... Two and a half, three feet, something on that |
Rowland described the rifleman being visible from the midpoint between the waist and knee to the top of the head, and there was several feet of wall seen above his head. All in the open window portion.
