'Irrelevant'
>>> No it isn't when my point—which I've made several times in this thread— is that affidavits are not meant to be full testimonies given that they are not Q&A. And how was she to know—at the time of her affidavit—that the shirt would eventually become so important?
I have understood your point fully. And she couldn't know that the shirt would become important. And that's exactly my point. She did not mention the shirt in her affidavit, which is the only document that remained after she told her story to the notary public. In other words, there is no record available to the investigators that would alert them to matter of the shirt. All they knew was that Bledsoe claimed to have seen Oswald on a bus.
So, what motivated the investigators to take Oswald's arrest shirt to Bledsoe's home (which is highly irregular by itself) prior to her WC testimony? Why make the extra effort, when they could have shown her the shirt during her testimony, which is what they actually did.... So, what was the need and which purpose was served by bringing to shirt to her home?
'You are not making sense. If you mean by "shorthand version" her affidavit, she had indeed not mentioned it. So, what reason did they have to assume that the shirt, and nothing else, could refresh her recollection?'
>>> I cannot vouch for any of that, since I wasn't in on The Plot.
So, you agree there was a plot?
And yes, materials used to refresh recollection are admissible at trial, in some cases, but witness manipulation or influencing prior to testimony is a criminal offence.
>>> I'll take being influenced & manipulated over being fitted for a cement overcoat (in a swimming-with-the fishes sense) any day
Nonsensical answers are a sign of weakness.
'So, let's try it again, but in a perhaps easier way for you to understand; if I don't tell you about seeing a shirt, what reason would you have to come to my house to show me a shirt and ask me if I recognize it?'
>>> There was a shirt on the loose? If I were you, I wouldn't talk to some stranger who comes to the door with a shirt that has a hole in it
Which only proves the point I made earlier. You make a lot of silly comments but when it comes right down to it you can't (or don't want to) answer a simple question.
