She didn't "assume" this (a bizarre claim) but said that she saw "the rifle."
Marina did not say she saw "the rifle" she said that she saw a piece of wood in the blanket.....She assumed it was the wooden stock of a long arm. ( rifle or shotgun )
It was gone when the police checked the blanket just hours after crime and can be accounted for in no other way except as the rifle found in the TSBD. The fact is.....Whatever Marina saw in the blanket could have been removed long before 11/22/63.
The rifle that had the same serial number that third party documents confirm was sent to Oswald's PO Box. The same rifle that Oswald's print was found on. ... This is pure BS.... There was no identifiable print found on the carcano. The authorities have lied about finding Lee's palm print on a surface that is physically too small to hold an identifiable palm print.
The rifle (as Marina said).
Stop cutting and pasting from the contrarians. You have also dishonestly distorted what Marina actually said. She said nothing about a "wooden stock of a long arm." LOL. In response to a question about
the rifle, she confirmed that she had seen the "wooden part of it, the wooden stock." The only "it" involved in the question is the rifle. And, of course, Oswald's rifle has a "wooden stock." Did Marina see a rifle in the blanket or not?
Mr. RANKIN. Was
the rifle carried in some kind of a case when you went back with Mrs. Paine?
Mrs. OSWALD. After we arrived, I tried to put the bed, the child's crib together, the metallic parts, and I looked for a certain part, and
I came upon something wrapped in a blanket. I thought that was part of the bed, but
it turned out to be the rifle.Mr. RANKIN. Did you ever check to see whether the rifle was in the blanket?
Mrs. OSWALD. I never checked to see that. There was only once that
I was interested in finding out what was in that blanket, and I saw that it was a rifleMr. RANKIN. And then you found that
the rifle was
in the blanket, did you?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes,
I saw the wooden part of it,
the wooden stock.
