No, I don't think it will. Linnie Mae always maintained that the bag he saw was shorter. During her testimony they measured how long she estimated it to be with a mockup and came up with 27 inches one time and 28 1/2 inches the other time. FBI agents would conduct their interviews and not take contemporaneous notes. They would finish the interview and then go off and transcribe what they heard. The WC should have asked her about this discrepancy because it very possible that Bookhout misunderstood her or didn't transcribe what she said properly. We also don't know if she gave Bookhout a length herself or if Bookhout estimated it himself from her holding her hands apart or whatever.

You're being waaaaay too magnanimous ...... Bookhout is one of Hoover's agents who created a "replica bag" and then took it to the Randle residence in a transparent attempt to confuse Linnie Mae and her brother BWF and get them on record as confirming the "replica bag" was exactly like the bag that Lee carried that morning.
We also don't know if she gave Bookhout a length herself or if Bookhout estimated it himself from her holding her hands apart THINK about that.....Linnie held up her hands and indicated a length of about two feet..... Three feet is considerably greater than two feet. Bookhout could not have thought the distance between her hands was thee feet
