Malcolm Wallace's fingerprint from carton on 6th floor

[Steve M. Galbraith]

What would make Joan Mellen an expert on fingerprints ? I believe that Nathan Darby did his work on finding a 14 point match on a print that turned out to be the small finger fingerprint of Malcolm Wallace. Darby's identification was made " blindly "---that is , without his knowing the identity of Wallace .

But Mellen wasn't the one who analyzed the print. She said she obtained a clearer copy of Wallace's prints and a clearer image of the "mystery" print and showed them to a qualified expert, Robert Garrett, who concluded there was no match.

It is odd to hear conspiracy people say that JFK was shot by a person located in front of him yet also claim that Wallace, located in the sniper's nest, shot JFK. The sniper's nest was, of course, located behind JFK when he was shot.

 I am not aware of any CT's that that think the back wound on JFK did not come from behind

It would be even odder if these same conspiracy freaks actually figured that little contradiction out.

 You mean a contradiction that only occurred in the minds of the LN?

You need to read the conspiracy advocates a little more closely. They believe in all kinds of inconsistencies. Such as the one above. Visit the assassination sites and spend a day or two. You'll be amazed.

A good number of conspiracists believe JFK was shot from the front and then all of the evidence was altered to show he was shot from behind. The films, the x-rays, photos....all altered.

Does that make a damned ounce of sense? What idiot would try to do something like that? In broad daylight with hundreds of people around and some with cameras?

Are you not aware of David Lifton and his book? And of his followers?

He says all of JFK's wounds were altered and that all of the shots that hit JFK were fired from in front of him. The back wound was not a bullet entrance wound.

Here's a online book by two conspiracy authors - pretty well known in the CT world - who endorse Lifton's theory: http://www.manuscriptservice.com/Aftermath/

They say that since back wound had no exit and no bullet was found that it couldn't have been a entrance wound. If so where did the bullet go? Where was the exit?

 They were all altered Are you saying Lifton does not believe a shot came from behind? What sites claim no shots came from behind?

Are you not aware of Lifton? And his theories? Yes, he says all of the shots came from shooters located in front of JFK. Lifton is a pretty major conspiracy author.

Go to, for example, the Deep Politics Forum and do a search for "Lifton" or "body alteration" or "two caskets."
