Since there are many idiots in this group....I have used the word...but I don't recall ever saying "any idiot" can see such and such.
Let’s try another question that might shed some light. Who first dusted CE 142 for fingerprints?
Robert Lee Studebaker.
Did Studebaker fingerprint CE142 before the rifle was found?
The bag was carried at full length in order to limit any further smearing of prints.
Mr. BALL - What did the package look like?Mr. FRAZIER - Well, I will be frank with you, I would just, it is right as you get out of the grocery store, just more or less out of a package, you have seen some of these brown paper sacks you can obtain from any, most of the stores, some varieties, but it was a package just roughly about two feet long.
Mrs. RANDLE. What I remember seeing is about this long, sir, as I told you it was folded down so it could have been this long.Mr. BALL. I see. You figure about 2 feet long, is that right?Mrs. RANDLE. A little bit more.Mr. BALL. A little more than 2 feet.
I don't know. Probably not.
Do you think Studebaker opened it up, fingerprinted it, then refolded it and placed it in the SE corner prior to Johnson and Montgomery first noticing it? If not then it has to be after the rifle was found. Do you agree?
He and Day got to the TSBD at 1:12 and the rifle was found at 1:22. That makes it unlikely that he dusted the bag before the rifle was found.
