Also, it looks like the rifle is too far below his face to be aiming with the scope or the iron sights.
I don’t have any way to adjust the arms, legs, head, etc independently. So you have to use your own imagination to bend the neck so that his right eye is looking through the scope and his arms and legs are positioned properly. If someone knows of a suitable character that has those abilities, I would be happy to use it.
Why go here? 56 years and nothing is on...as far as advancing to a consensus on reliability of Brennan claims. Why do so many gravitate toward
eyewitness testimony, either to attempt to impeach it or to embrace it without appearing to some of us to have any solid foundation to justify the embrace?
Mark Lane with Playboy Mag. interviewer, three generations ago. It is a fact Mary Bledsoe had a curious familial connection with RD Matthews.
Does everyone understand the contrast? This Bledsoe background detail is progress in that it is not reasonably countered. Debating the question of Brennan
is obviously a waste of time, yet here we are, again? Why?

PLAYBOY: But didn't the Commission have eyewitness evidence that shots did come from the sixth-floor window of the Book Depository?
LANE: The Commission had one "star" witness who testified that a man fired from that window. He was Howard L. Brennan, a 45-year-old steamfitter. There was some other evidence that
shots came from there, but it was vague and frequently contradictory, so the Commission relied largely on the testimony of Brennan. He told the Commission he was seated on a concrete wall across the street from the Book Depository, 107 feet from the building and about 120 feet from the sixth-floor window. The Commission concluded that this placed him in an excellent position to observe anyone in the window." Brennan said he heard a noise he at first thought was a motorcycle backfire—so, naturally, he looked up to the sixth floor of the Depository, and saw a man standing behind the window firing a rifle. Brennan signed an affidavit to that effect on November 22, swearing that the man in the window 'was standing up and resting against the left window sill." However, the Commission concluded the window was open only at the bottom. So if Oswald, or anybody else, fired through that window from a standing position, he would have had to fire through the glass—which was unbroken. The Commission slithered out of this one by determining that "although Brennan testified that the man in the window was standing when he fired the shots, most probably he was either sitting or kneeling." The reason they gave was that the window ledge was only about a foot and a half from the floor, thus creating the illusion from the street below that a person was standing rather than sitting c.r kneeling behind the windov,
But Brennan himself invalidated this explanation, for he swore he saw the man both stand up and sit down—and withdraw from the window more than once. In any case, here we have the Commission contradicting its own star witness on a vital point of his testimony —the position of the assassin at the time of the crime.
PLAYBOY: Important as it may be, this is just one point, on which anyone could be mistaken. Was Brennan's testimony inconsistent in other respects?
LANE: Yes, it was. When Brennan was taken to the police line-up on November 22, to pick out the man he claimed to have seen in the window, Oswald was in the line-up, but Brennan failed to make a positive identification. When Brennan later testified before the Commission, he said he had known it was Oswald all along—but didn't select him from the police line-up because of his fear that the assassination was a Communist plot and "if it got to be a known fact that I was an eyewitness, my family or I, either one, might not be safe." In other words, Brennan admitted to the Commission that he had deliberately lied to the Dallas police on November 22 when he told them he could not definitely identify Os- wald in the line-up. And yet the Commission chose to believe his subsequent identification of Oswald as the man in the window. In any court of law, Bren- nan would almost certainly have been discredited as a witness. The Commission concluded that Brennan was able to identify a man standing behind a half closed window 120 feet away from him. This was the Commission's star witness to support their conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald fired at the President from the sixth-floor window of the Book Depository.
PLAYBOY: Do you think that no shots actually came from the Depository?
LANE: It's not as simple as that. ...
