Beckham deposition Orleans parish

[Drew Phipps]

I think if Beckham was the high water mark of Garrison's case, he should have been laughed out of the courtroom. The guy is a fruit loop. And I don't mean any sort of sexual connotation by that remark. He's just plain nuts. Been treated in a mental institution (prior to being involved with Garrison), can't answer a simple question, and ordained minister by mail, a paraphychologist PHD, a Doctor of Divinity by mail in some fly by night religion... Sure answers questions and tells narratives like a schizophrenic or bipolar with the pressured speech.

I wouldn't read anything into this guy's invocation of the Fifth Amendment, except he was trying some psycho maneuver to 'outplay" the questioner. He answered the same questions later and said nothing of any value.

If this guy was the dude that Garrison counted on proving that Clay Shaw was "Clay Bertram" then Garrison was deluded. Even if someone nefarious was dropping disinformation and phony affidavits to this guy he should have been ignored by anyone serious about answers.
