Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[Greg Burnham]

Mark,


There's no possible way Altgens shows Oswald in the doorway. I have to say Fetzer damages both himself and the community with his ridiculous defense of this. You should be very careful because such defense of Rago and Fetzer will only threaten your credibility towards Piper.

Albert I don't know whether he was in the doorway or not. Dealey Plaza reconstructions are difficult and time consuming and questions such as this don't get you any closer to JFK's killers anyway.

Oswald was right where he was seen by Carolyn Arnold and Mrs Reid... in the lunchroom.
I think her answers her give her away... without actually saying it.... just my hunch.

Mr. BELIN. All right. When you left the lunchroom, did you leave with the other girls?
Mrs. REID. No; I didn't. The younger girls had gone and I left alone.
Mr. BELIN. Were you the last person in the lunchroom?
Mrs. REID. No; I could not say that because I don't remember that part of it because I was going
out of the building by myself, I wasn't even, you know, connected with anyone at all.
Mr. BELIN. Were there any men in the lunchroom when you left there?
Mrs. REID. I can't, I don't, remember that.
Mr. BELIN. All right.
Mrs. REID. I can't remember the time they left.

Add to this the changin of his shirt.... CE1988 page 100 has Bookout telling us EXACTLY what he said he took off and where he put them...
The Inventory of items taken from Beckley lists a brown shirt and grey slacks and other misc clothing...

Oswald said he changed, Fritz wrote it and Bookout confirms it...

Unless Oswald had two of the exact shirts... there were two Oswalds leaving the DP area... one via Bledsoe/Whaley and one via a Rambler...
and the man in Altgens was NOT Oswald. Sadly.

Rather than re-start the agonizing LHO on the TSBD steps debate fiasco (which would serve the obvious purpose of re-introducing Fetzer & Cinque into the fray), I will simply say: I don't know and find no compelling evidence that it was him. I do find collateral evidence indicating it was NOT him. I strongly tend to believe he was not there, but rather, he was where he said he was.

Have we come full circle? Will this debate be rehashed in yet a new thread? Perhaps the next supposition will conclude that Hemming, Hunt, Sturgis, Wilson, Lawrence, Braden and Vidal were all Jooz? Who knew?
