Myers' parting blow against Reynolds is a cheap shot from the unkind mouth of Dallas Police Homicide Captain J.W. Fritz to the Warren Commission.
Mr. FRITZ. …I asked him, how far, how close was the closest you were ever to [Oswald], how far were you from him? He said, Well from that car lot across the street there. Well, of course, if he had been at the car lot across the street it would be difficult to follow him on the sidewalk. It would be quite difficult, so I talked to him for just a short time and I didn’t bother with him anymore.
I already had some history on him because the other bureau, the forgery bureau had been handling him and they had already told me a lot about him. They discounted anything that he told.

DPD had a peculiar practice of assigning unsuccessful attempts to commit murder by shooting to the forgery bureau, which in this case it failed to solve possibly because the victim's survival did not qualify the crime for the standard frame up treatment Fritz required for successful homicides.
Fritz was not asked to elaborate on why the forgery bureau "discounted anything that he told." He also did not explain to WC why "it would be difficult to follow [LHO] on the sidewalk." Was he not capable of visualizing the two proceeding in parallel on opposite sides of Jefferson?
Result is not that Reynolds suffers the loss of credibility Myers seeks to establish, but proof that Fritz was an idiot operating in the guise of a mean bastard, or was it the other way around?
