Walt, I am trying to understand how Jack is using Alyea to support his argument. So far I have seen Jack claim that the chicken lunch was on the 5th floor according to Alyea and that there was no chicken on the 6th. Those that saw chicken were mistaken and only recalling what they heard second hand. So, is that what happened, a chicken free 6th floor (Alyea) or not? Once Jack clarifies what the exact argument is with Alyea we can hopefully make some progress.
Don't try to muddy the waters with Alyea. This theory does not revolve around Alyea. It appears to revolve around Rowland.
Alyea's contribution was to echo the WC observation that the witnesses were heavily influenced by the media. In Alyea's case it was the detectives statements about having seen pieces of chicken in different locations on the 6th floor. The rest who knows, if anything he is confused by the floor count. The WC observed this phenomenon as witness after witness embellished their testimonies with additional or new revelations as time passed between the assassination and the telling. Your personal favorite, Givens, surprised Belin with his statement about having seen LHO on the 6th floor. The line of questioning by Belin clearly indicated his surprise.
Mr. BELIN. Just a second, where did you go? Where were you when you saw him on the sixth floor?
Mr. GIVENS. I had went and got my jacket and was on my way back to the elevator.
Walt is right, there is no case to be built about who ate what and when and where. The detective statements place the chicken piece in different places in the SN and even multiple locations by the same detective. Montgomery states there was multiple locations, Shelley states there were employees snacking during the day, and Fritz mentions different pieces of food on the floor. BRW stated where he ate his lunch and that is where it was photographed.
The primary witness to this theory, Rowland, gets caught fabricating his testimony time and time again.
