Oswald's Rifle Capability

[Walt Cakebread]

Why would you assume the shooter knew it was misaligned?

When was it established beyond reasonable doubt that the rifle was fired that day?

[Tim Nickerson]

When was it established beyond reasonable doubt that the rifle was fired that day?

When the two large fragments recovered from the limo and the bullet found on Connally's stretcher at Parkland were matched to that rifle.

That claim is not supported by Marina's actual testimony, which Jerry posted earlier.  This is why you shouldn't believe claims made in the WC Report without checking their sources.

Are you now saying that Marina was telling the truth in her WC testimony

She lied except when she didn't, huh

I'm wondering if you're claiming that practice time with a specific weapon is unimportant

What practice time?

I wasn't aware those fragments were time-stamped.

When did I say she lied?

[Jerry Freeman]

Sergeant James Zahm, an expert shooter, considered that a rifle with a telescopic sight, such as the Mannlicher Carcano, needed to be ?sighted?in? by firing the rifle about ten times without ammunition shortly before firing it with live ammunition (Warren Commission Hearings, vol.11, p.308).

When did I say she lied?

I've already mentioned that she did...further noting that Marina stated at first.....she had never seen OSWALD practice with his rifle or any other firearm and he had never told her that he was going to practice.     (Warren Commission Hearings, vol.22, p.763 [Commission Exhibit 1401])
She did not recall that he [Oswald] ever practiced firing the rifle either in New Orleans or in Dallas. She does not think he did practice in New Orleans because as a rule he stayed home when he was not working. When he did go out, she did not see him take the rifle.     (ibid., p.778 [Commission Exhibit 1403])
She said that she never saw Lee going out or coming in to the house with a rifle and that he never mentioned to her doing any practice with a rifle. (Warren Commission Hearings, vol.23, p.393 [Commission Exhibit 1785])
However..when she testified before the Commission-a different tune was sung as we saw in an earlier post.

The lack of same by the FBI testers is my point
