So what kind of pea-brain would THEN post the 1990 [sic] load of BS coming from Gerald Hill claiming the clustering of shells made him jump to the wrong conclusion even though they were NOWHERE near the car?
There was certainly some confusion amongst the police officers about what kind of gun Tippit's killer was carrying (automatic vs. revolver), there's no denying that fact. But why do CTers insist on focusing on the
wrong (i.e., the
worst) information that's out there?
Sergeant Gerald Hill simply made a mistake about the killer possessing an "automatic" weapon.
How can we know for a fact it was just a "mistake"?
Because of the various witnesses (Benavides, B. Davis, and V. Davis) who clearly stated that Tippit's
one and only killer (who was carrying only
ONE single gun) was manually unloading spent shell casings out of that
same gun that was just used to shoot Officer Tippit.
There
is nowhere for the conspiracists to go on this issue. Given the statements made by the people who were there at the time Tippit was being killed, we know that Tippit's killer was not (and
could not have been) using an automatic gun on Tenth Street. That fact is as ironclad as can be---despite Gerald Hill's confusion.
Or would you like to start saying that all three of the aforementioned witnesses were either lying or mistaken when they each said they saw Tippit's murderer emptying shells from his gun (by hand)?
