If I Had Planned The Conspiracy ...

[Martin Weidmann]

I didn't say that. Either you're misreading or misrepresenting what I said. I said you've refused to believe me from the get go before anything was presented. It's just matter of habit rather than evidence or reason.

BTW, you noticed that I answered your question in the post just before the one you replied to, didn't you?

I didn't say that.

True. You said nothing of significance at all. Instead of actually providing any evidence for your claim that Carroll and Hill (who carried the revolver) were together all the time and/or that Carroll had the revolver in "unambiguous custody" until it was marked by several officers, you, rather childishly complained that I didn't believe you anyway. Since you didn't offer any evidence, what do you expect me to do? Just believe something because you said it? Really?

The fact is that the record shows that Carroll gave a revolver to Hill as they got into the car at the Texas Theater to drive Oswald to the police station, which makes the "Carroll had the revolver in "unambiguous custody" claim completely untrue.

BTW, you noticed that I answered your question in the post just before the one you replied to, didn't you?

No, you didn't answer the question. Carroll testifying that McDonald was at the personnel department "most of the time", while at the same time saying that he (Carroll) did not actually recall him sitting there, is in no way evidence for your claim that Carroll and Hill where together all the time that Hill had the revolver.

What destroys your argument completely is the fact that Hill was photographed showing a revolver to reporters and Carroll is nowhere to be seen!

Care to try again?

You don't seem to understand what "shifting the burden" is. I would have been shifting the burden had I responded with "no, you prove that Carroll wasn't in the PB office." But that's not what I said. I asked him a different question: where did he get the idea that Hill just R-U-N-N-O-F-T with the revolver? He brought that notion up well before I brought Carroll into this, and so far hasn't provided any explanation where the notion came from. He brought it up, and should be able to explain where the idea came from.

Some skeptic you are, kid.

I never said that Hill "just R-U-N-N-O-F-T" with the revolver.

What I did say is that the record shows that Hill received a revolver from Carroll at the Texas Theater at about 2 PM. It also shows that a revolver was not submitted to the evidence room until well after 3 PM, which means that we don't know where the revolver was between those two times or that the revolver submitted to the evidence room was the same as the one Hill received from Carroll.

I say again; Are we really to believe that Hill and Carroll just sat around for more than an hour in the Personnel Office and then suddenly decided to mark a revolver Hill had on his person all the time?
