James Leon Simmons.... Overpass Witness

[Bill Brown]

No surprise that you're moving the goal posts.  You made claims about the magic revolver and the magic palmprint and then somehow that morphs into a claim about what you think a court would admit as evidence.  Martin has explained that particular fallacy on multiple occasions.

Is what you think would "surely" happen at a hypothetical trial supposed to be evidence of anything?

No, a defense lawyer would put Doughty on the stand and ask him if he recovered the shell from the crime scene or if it was handed to him.

No surprise that you're moving the goal posts.

No moving of the goal posts required to show your mistakes.  You have claimed that there is no chain of custody for either of the two Davis shells.

You made claims about the magic revolver and the magic palmprint and then somehow that morphs into a claim about what you think a court would admit as evidence.

Are you saying that the two Davis shells would not be allowed into evidence?

LOL

I'm just telling you how it is.  In June of '64, the FBI went to George Doughty with the four shells found at the Tippit scene.  Doughty identified the Winchester-Western shell given to him by Barbara Davis and pointed out his initials on that shell.

George Doughty would be called upon to identify the shell given to him by Barbara Davis as well as to identify his initials on this shell.  This would surely get the shell casing admitted into evidence.

Do you have some sort of information which would prevent this shell casing from getting admitted into evidence?  Or, are you just As I was walking a' alane, I heard twa corbies makin' a mane. The tane untae the tither did say, Whaur sail we gang and dine the day, O. Whaur sail we gang and dine the day?  It's in ahint yon auld fail dyke I wot there lies a new slain knight; And naebody kens that he lies there But his hawk and his hound, and his lady fair, O. But his hawk and his hound, and his lady fair.  His hound is to the hunting gane His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame, His lady ta'en anither mate, So we may mak' our dinner swate, O. So we may mak' our dinner swate.  Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane, And I'll pike oot his bonny blue e'en Wi' ae lock o' his gowden hair We'll theek oor nest when it grows bare, O. We'll theek oor nest when it grows bare.  There's mony a ane for him maks mane But nane sail ken whaur he is gane O'er his white banes when they are bare The wind sail blaw for evermair, O. The wind sail blaw for evermair.'ing and hollering again?

No, a defense lawyer would put Doughty on the stand and ask him if he recovered the shell from the crime scene or if it was handed to him.

Correct.  So what?

This was the post you were responding to.  No mention of any shells anywhere in there.  You moved the goalposts.

It's been demonstrated repeatedly.  Your response is to just bleat "there is no doubt of Oswald's guilt" over and over again as if your lack of doubt proves anything.

You'll never be able to show that the revolver Hill fished out of his pocket 2 hours later which was then and only then initialed by everybody at the police station (including by a guy who never supposedly even touched it to begin with) was ever at the Texas Theater in anybody's waistband.

You'll never be able to show that the partial palmprint that turned up on an index card in Washington a week later was ever on the barrel of CE 139.

Are you saying that the two Davis shells would not be allowed into evidence?

I have no idea.  But you don't just get to declare that they would be.  And even if they were that doesn't mean they are automatically authenticated.

I'm just telling you how it is.  In June of '64, the FBI went to George Doughty with the four shells found at the Tippit scene.  Doughty identified the Winchester-Western shell given to him by Barbara Davis and pointed out his initials on that shell.

Interesting.  And did those initials say "DO" or "GD"?

Correct.  So what?

So the obvious next question is, how do you know where that shell you supposedly initialed came from?

That certainly is not moving the goal posts.  But, keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel smarter.

That's right; you have no idea.

Doughty indeed authenticates the shell casing.

Interesting.  And did those initials say "DO" or "GD"?

Are you saying Doughty did not identify his initials on the casing?

So the obvious next question is, how do you know where that shell you supposedly initialed came from?

I understood this was the obvious next question.

The next obvious question is how is the answer to your obvious question supposed to show a broken chain for the shell?

[John Iacoletti]

It's textbook moving the goalposts.  I mention the revolver and the partial palmprint, and you shift it to a discussion about the shells because you think you can make a better case for them (or at least one of them).

That's right; you have no idea.

At least I'm willing to admit it.  You make up a fantasy trial and come up with a fantasy claim about what would be admitted as if your fantasies have any bearing on reality.

Are you saying Doughty did not identify his initials on the casing?

How valid is the identification if he can't even read the letters correctly?

The next obvious question is how is the answer to your obvious question supposed to show a broken chain for the shell?

It's enough to show doubt that it actually came from the crime scene.

[John Mytton]

More games. I meant Elm Street could have, and should have, been used instead of Main Street.

Thanks for pointing this out with your graphic. 👍

You're still not making sense, somewhere the Limo had to turn onto Elm Street therefore there was a turn.

You apparently have no idea what the definition of the word "doubt" is.  This is pathetic.

The shell was found at the scene by Barbara Davis.  She turned it over to George Doughty who initialed the shell casing and later positively identified it as the one given to him by Davis.

Just because the casing was turned over later that afternoon certainly is not enough to cast doubt on whether or not it came from the crime scene.

What's pathetic is how little it takes to convince you that a claim is true.  At least when it supports what you already believe on faith.

How could Doughty be certain that this shell that was handed to him actually came from the crime scene?  Or where?  Not that it particularly matters since the shell itself cannot be connected in any way to any bullet that entered Tippit.

But when did Doughty ever even say directly that he initialed this shell (and where and when), or that he identified his initials?  All I've seen is an unsigned FBI report that claims that Doughty said this to Bardwell Odum.  So it's at least third hand information.

That's interesting, at the time of the headshot the wind was blowing up Elm Street as seen by the billowing dresses of Mary and Jean.



Your witnesses minus Bowers were on the overpass.



Question: Where was your sniper?



JohnM

Unless you fire black powder guns, you would really be pushing it to see much smoke at all, regardless of positions.  Top that off with the strong wind blowing and you will be able to only smell smoke downwind.   Bowers smelled smoke?

Your pictures/embedded videos again are very enlightening.    In fact,  I would suggest that just as the President's head approaches "Jean Hill" "lady in red" and disappears behind her head,  I would say there was a very pronounced white spot just starting to appear on the President's head which coincided with the kill/skull shot at Z-329/330.   If you match your first video with the Z film, you will notice that Jacqueline's hand comes around behind his head at about Z-327.   If you suggest that the "spray associated" with your embedded video comes from around Z-313, your greatly mistaken.

Her hand movement behind the President's head is obviously not at Z-313.  If you suggest that the "cloud" around the President's head appeared coincidentally with Z-313 - it did not.   Which way do you want it?  In fact, the President slumped over at about Z-331.   Obviously, there was a doctored set of frames made up around Z-313 to imply that the shots came from TBSD and part of the necessary lone gunman narrative - the Z film and the one you have provided just prove that!   

Coordination between that film you have just posted and the Z film clearly show the difference.  People assume that the "cloud" formed on his head at about Z-327 is that of Z-313.   That is ludicrous and there is no synergy between the 2 films if you assume that.  You can't mistake Jacqueline's reaction and her wanting to leave the limousine thereafter.  Now, you could dismiss that cloud as being nothing but a film flaw.......

Clearly, you can't miss what you see in Z330 and Z335 and Jacqueline's immediate reaction to that!  It has nothing to do with a frame Z-313/14.  That is a FRAME Job!

Compare that to the rather large plume at Z313 which you can't see in your embedded video!!  No Jacqueline arm present behind the President!

You would have to be a fool not to see the obvious correlation between Z film and this film and what has been doctored and what was reality!
