Regarding the seated position proposal Mr. Collins has suggested for the shooter , if the dent on the top of the box on window ledge can be due to something other than a riffle then the purpose of those stacked boxes may have been solely to provide shade from the sun.
There is not much time for the shooter to have moved and stacked those 3 boxes up against the window and lifting 2 of the 3 and adjusting them
Jisr right without accidentally the one on the window ledge itself not falling out the window.
If the timeline for Bonnie Ray Williams not leaving the 6tjh floor until approx 12:23 then the shooter has only about 2 minutes to walk across the 6th floor probably 180 ft if he was hodong put on the mid landing of the 7th floor staircase
If so, then it’s going to take another 30 secs to walk fast at 6ft/sec arriving at the SE window approx 12:23:30.
If the Bronson film starts approx 12:25, then the shooter must have completed his moving and stacking the 3 boxes in 1 minute 20 secs and then seated himself and holding his rifle in way not to be seen in Bronson film
He also kept himself out of the Hughes film as the JfK approaches the TSBD and turns onto Elm at.
If the shooter is the seated position
on the 15” ? height box (adjacent to the pipes) would not some part of his upper legs and knee be visible from the perspective of the Hughes and or the Bronson film camera position?
if the dent on the top of the box on window ledge can be due to something other than a riffle then the purpose of those stacked boxes may have been solely to provide shade from the sun.The cause of the dent isn’t known for certain. The boxes would also have given the shooter cover by at least partially blocking the view of some of the people below.

If I remember correctly, one of the workers on the other side of the building said that he believed LHO was in the area of the sniper’s nest some time that morning. The box on the window sill was leaning back towards the other two boxes. It wasn’t going to fall out the window without a shove.

But that’s just my speculation of course.

It is possible that a small portion of leg might be exposed to the view from Hughes’ and/or Bronson’s angles. It would be in the lower right corner of the window from their points of view. However, it would not be likely for it to be discernible in their films. The distances from their positions to the window, camera/film capabilities (limitations), and color of his pants (blending with the color of the boxes) are all issues.
