Question:... If the rifle had been discovered about 14 feet from the north wall and jammed between boxes of books, as depicted by the official in situ photo ....
Would Deputy Boone have needed a powerful flashlight to see it?
OK.... so nobody had the balls to answer that question..... I'll try another.
If the rifle had been jammed between the boxes as depicted in the official in situ photo....
Would Seymour Weitzman have been able to see it while being down on the floor and looking beneath the boxes?
You are asking a good question Walt, how could Wietzman have seen the rifle laying on the floor when he was looking through/under the palette, if the rifle were in between the 2 STACKED WALLS of boxes in the narrow gap that only Boone could have seen INTO from ABOVE??
They had NOT moved the boxes out of the way to get the photo at this time. The boxes were moved only AFTER Boone shined his light and looked into the narrow gap, right?
