RIP to the Single-bullet theory?

[John Iacoletti]

Nobody else even knew of the existence of this palm print.

From memory, I believe that Day said he told both Curry and Fritz about it on the night of 11/22/63 before Drain took the rifle to Washington DC.

Day said a lot of things in his evolving stories. Fritz was still saying on SaPersonay that they had no prints.

No, I don’t believe Drain lied. I think your idea of “all of the evidence” in the context of Drain’s report is wrong. I think that Drain was referring to all of the evidence that the FBI had requested.

That’s not what the report says though. It says, “all of the evidence collected that he was examining, which related to LEE HARVEY OSWALD”. That would certainly include this lift, had it existed at that time.

I don’t. In this case, Sneed allowed his interviewees to tell their stories in their own words. Drain’s elaboration of what evidence the FBI had requested essentially agrees with Day’s statements. I am pointing this out.

But it also obscures all of the things Day said originally, as well as how they changed over time.

And according to one of the memos or letters from the WC regarding their questions, Wade was saying on Sunday that they had a palm print. There was a lot of misinformation and confusion during that weekend.

Those are Drain’s words. And your interpretation of them. The evidence, testimonies, later recollections and elaborations all indicate that Drain’s words are not correct. All of this has already been explained. Go ahead and believe whatever you wish. I couldn’t care less. But you need something to corroborate your interpretation if you want to convince others.

Inconsistencies are common in real life cases. I don’t know what you are referring to specifically.

By then, the rifle had been returned from Washington.

That's your opinion.

That works both ways.

Inconsistencies are common in real life cases.

Sure, but so many and in the most important murder case of the decade? Where is the cut off point for making excuses for all the things that happened but shouldn't have?

Despite what anybody tried to claim later, there is no other way to interpret "all the evidence collected that he was examining, which related to LEE HARVEY OSWALD".

Read Pat Speer's chapter, already cited, on Day's morphing "memories". It seems that you are all over these when they suit your purposes.

The evidence, the testimonies, the later recollections, etc ALL indicate the following interpretation is correct:

"all the evidence collected [that the FBI requested] that he was examining, which related to LEE HARVEY OSWALD".

Many of us don’t always use very precise language all the time. I have gotten better at it as a result of trying to communicate on forums like this one. Drain’s language in that report is not very precise. I think that it would have been wrong for Day to turn over evidence that he had not specifically been instructed to turn over to the FBI. Your charges of Day mishandling or falsifying evidence simply don’t have any credible evidence to support them.

The original text:

“Lt. DAY stated he received instructions from Chief of Police JESSE B. CURRY, Dallas Police Department, Dallas, Texas, to turn over all of the evidence collected that he was examining, which related to LEE HARVEY OSWALD, to the FBI shortly before midnight on November 22, 1963.”

Excellent propaganda-hermeneutics, Mr. Collins!

lame desperation 

[John Iacoletti]

From Jesse Curry’s testimony:

“We kept getting calls from the FBI. They wanted this evidence up in Washington, in the laboratory, and there was some discussion, Fritz told me, he says, "Well, I need the evidence here, I need to get some people to try to identify the gun, to try to identify this pistol and these things, and if it is in Washington how can I do it?"
But we finally, the night, about midnight of Friday night, we agreed to let the FBI have all the evidence and they said they would bring it to their laboratory and they would have an agent stand by and when they were finished with it to return it to us.”
