Really? One end in his armpit and the other end in his cupped hand is pretty damn precise.
Mr. BALL - Did it look to you as if there was something heavy in the package?
Mr. FRAZIER - Well, I will be frank with you,
I didn't pay much attention to the package because like I say before and after he told me that it was curtain rods
and I didn't pay any attention to it, and he never had lied to me before so I never did have any reason to doubt his word.
Mr. BALL - Did it appear to you there was some, more than just paper he was carrying, some kind of a weight he was carrying?
Mr. FRAZIER - Well, yes, sir; I say, because one reason I know that because I worked in a department store before and I had uncrated curtain rods when they come in, and I know if you have seen when they come straight from the factory you know how they can bundle them up and put them in there pretty compact,
so he told me it was curtain rods so I didn't think any more about the package whatsoever. Mr. BALL - Well, from the way he carried it, the way he walked, did it appear he was carrying something that had more than the weight of a paper?
Mr. FRAZIER - Well, I say, you know like I say,
I didn't pay much attention to the package other than I knew he had it under his arm and I didn't pay too much attention the way he was walking because I was walking along there looking at the railroad cars and watching the men on the diesel switch them cars and I didn't pay too much attention on how he carried the package at all.This is your star witness. A package that could be 24" give or take a few, that is measured at 27" according to his brief look at the back seat of his car, that can be carried under the armpit and cupped in his hand by a guy who is 5'9" tall with no signs of having abnormally long arms.
