Tracy Riddle Wrote:I have to take issue with a couple of things he wrote:
First, it could never have been used as evidence in a court of law since its chain of possession was so clearly broken. Only Oswald's murder, in police custody, allowed the film to be treated as "evidence", by the establishment media. It would have been thrown out of court if the accused had been allowed a trial.
But it was used as evidence in the Shaw trial, shown to the jury, and identified by Zapruder as the film he shot.
Second, in the possession of the Secret Service and the FBI, the Zapruder film was damaged and frames were lost.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was the original film that was damaged while it was in LIFE's possession, not the SS/FBI copies.
That is corrrect on both counts.
Concerning point number two, Robert Groden showed the restored film at Harvard in 1993. I was startled.
WHen you see it with frames 208-11 it raises real suspicions as to why why these frames "disappeared".
Because it is clear as the water around Tahiti that Kennedy was hit BEFORE he went behind the Stemmons freeway sign. Which means it was a conspiracy since the Commission said that a tree obscured the line of sight from the so called "sniper's nest"--which never existed-- to the limousine. Therefore that shot had to come from elsewhere.
I will be using this in my upcoming discussion of the Clown's performance in Skeptic. The CLown of course is my term for Dave Reitzes.
