"Now I could see back or the South side of the wooden fence in the area, so that obviously that there was no one there who could have - uh - had anything to do with either - as accomplice or anything else because there was no one there - um - at the moment that the shots were fired."
He further said that the "flash of light or smoke " was where the two men - in *front* of the fence were located. Nothing from *behind* the fence.
So, three shots and no shooter from behind the fence. Not a good witness for the conspiracy believers.
Steve,
have you read the full transcript? Because Bowers makes it clear in there that he was talking about the south side of the fence where the cop Haygood ran to. It's a pain but it's a fact.
I hope the answer is No. Then I'd have to ask why not?
If it's Yes, then where exactly did you see it and do you know if it's available online(I've looked but had no luck)?
And you must know, even if you've only seen snippets, that Bowers never, ever said the two men he saw were in front of the fence.
"I could see the back of the fence" and "One man dissapeared behind the fence". One statement was clarified with not one but two references to the south. The other was not.
Just so you know, I am of the opinion that the Bower/Lane transcript points us to the area where Hudson stood too and it's most likely those people he saw milling around. I also believe that Lane would not have used Bowers if Lee made it clear that they weren't behind the fence. The fact is, is that he never said they weren't and he never said the were and that's down to Lane. Mark Lane left it alone because he knew the answer already.
