In Warren Commission wonderland, there's an explanation for everything.
Except:
Oswald's bullets.
Oswald "ordering" one long gun, yet receiving a different one.
The ad pictured a considerably-shortened M91 Carcano rifle (the original one produced in large quantities during WWI). Klein's was no more shipping those rifles in early-1963 than they were the 36" model, because the price in the ad was for the 40" model.
Altgens describing a shot directly in front of him, yet Warren Commission ignoring him as a witness, while utilizing his photograph as evidence.
"I was prepared to make a picture at the very instant the President
was shot. I had refocused to 15 feet because I wanted a good
closeup of the President and Mrs. Kennedy, and that's why I know
that it would be right at 15 feet, because I had prefocused in that area,
and I had my camera almost to my eye when it happened and that's
as far as I got with my camera."
Altgens is on far-right; his camera bag is on the grass. The approximate location of the head shot is represented above by Z312, which is a clearer frame. |
Altgens seems a bit off with his claim of being 15 feet from the head shot.
Altgens also claimed he was 30 feet from the President when he snapped his photo. But Liebeler wasn't buying it.
Liebeler: "I'm having trouble on this Exhibit No. 203 understanding how
you could have been within 30 feet of the President's car when you took
Commission Exhibit No. 203 and within 15 feet of the car when he was
hit with the last shot in the head without having moved yourself. Now,
you have previously indicated that you were right beside the President's
car when he was hit in the head."
Altgens: "Well, I was about 15 feet from it."
Liebeler: "But it was almost directly in front of you as it went down the
street; isn't that right?"
Altgens: "Yes."
