How is he bent over? - if the package is shorter - he holds in the manner she had seen.
How does a shorter package restrict the way he held it, if he can reach both portions
One hand near the top - the other for support at the bottom. I seriously don't understand your point.
It is certainly is NO proof the package is longer than about 2 feet.
MC--
"One hand near the top - the other for support at the bottom. I seriously don't understand your point."This is also obvious. If the almost touches the ground and his left hand is near the bottom, LHO has to be bent over to be holding.
Oswald is 5 feet 9 inches----69 inches tall, LHO waist would be approximately 29 inches
The bag is 27 inches.
Oswald right hand is several inches below the top. Left hand near the bottom.
Linnie Mae stated the bag almost touched the ground. That would make LHO’s right hand below 6 inches + below his waist and his left hand near the ground. He would have to be bent at the waist to carry the package with the bottom close the ground along with his left hand.
Mrs. RANDLE. He was carrying a package in a sort of a heavy brown bag, heavier than a grocery bag it looked to me. It was about, if I might measure, about this long, I suppose, and he carried it in his right hand, had the top sort of folded down and had a grip like this, and the bottom, he carried it this way, you know,
and it almost touched the ground as he carried it. Mr. BALL. And he was grabbing it with his right hand at the top of the package
and the package almost touched the ground?
Mrs. RANDLE. Yes, sir.
