The two looked like they were real close.

Forward and to the right... forward and to the right...

Im talking about the brain matter

[Az Joe]

Wecht is wrong.

The evidence is irrefutable. The Zapruder film, new computer technology and imagery plus the accounts of eye and ear witnesses makes this a very simple case. Oswald shot three times, hitting home twice. Everything else is meaningless

[Lancey Howard]

Personally, I disagree with Posner's silly "Case Closed" theory. So does the last surviving member of the target limousine, Nellie Connally, by the way.

Sound and Fury.

Spend an hour listening to Wecht,.... oh well I haven't posted here in years, now I remember why. I won't try to convince you. Just the many others, that as a 52 year resident of Pgh, and much experience with Wecht, He would shred you in a debate.

[CharacterCounts]

The case IS closed.

This can't be true. I must have seen least 10 different conspiracy theories on TV this past weekend.

[PMCarey]

He would shred you in a debate.

That he might and then you would do research on what he was claiming and find out that he misquotes, misleads, and makes things up. The only verifiable cases of lies and deceit in this case have all been done by conspiracy authors.

For examples of how this applies to Wecht, you might want to read:

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/wecht.txt

In which Dr. Robert Artwohl takes Wecht to task for several mistakes and omissions and darned if the good doctor didn't have a response to Artwohl's questions. In fact, he seemed rather miffed at being challenged.

It has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Oswald fired three shots from that window in the T.S.B.D.

Not true. The 'Report' did not prove that, and 39 years of reasonable doubt exists, unrefuted.

Eyewitness accounts place him in the window several seconds before and after the shooting and at least one eyewitness saw him shoot.

BS speculation, unsupported by even the Report itself. There are no credible ID's of Oswald in the window. Never have been.

Film exists of a figure in the window seven seconds before the first shot wearing clothing similar to what Oswald was wearing at work that day.

"Similar" proves nothing. So much for your eyewitless 'proof'.

Forensics has proven that the first shot missed, the second hit Kennedy, went through him and hit Connally, the third shot hit Kennedy in the upper right side of the back of his head and blew his brains out the right front side of his head.

The Reports forensic theories have been debated/debunked ad nauseum since they were published. Your repetitions add nothing.

The book you cite, "Case Open" looks like a "fringe" book.

It critiques 'Case Closed' with detailed facts, still unaddressed by Posner, or any other of the Report's 'single bullet theorists'; ---- who are becoming just as fanatical on this issue as the radical conspiracy buffs.

Rational folks can only hope for a pox on both your houses.

Give them about six months and they'll believe the Beltway Snipers were framed.

Regardless of what you claim you're seeing, tests were made to find out if Oswald's camera took the pictures. Due to minor scratches in the lens, all cameras are unique. The pictures were proven to be taken by Marina by the camera.

Oswald owned the rifle.
His prints were on the rifle.
He practiced with the rifle.
Marina saw him with the rifle.
Threads from the type of shirt he was wearing were stuck in the buttplate.
The ammunition used in the assassination was traced to the rifle.
His rifle was found where he was supposed to be working.
No curtain rods were found.

See number 110.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Beautiful! Of course, you're a CIA operative who's spliced the film, altered the color, flipped the negative, and removed the images of the man with the umbrella.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Yeah, that's it, the evidence we have is no good. It's the imaginary stuff they threw out that counts!

[SoCal Pubbie]

The police jumping the fence at OJ's house has no relevancy? The blood they brought there has no relevancy? The "n" word has no relevancy? That settles it, the Juice was framed!

[SoCal Pubbie]

That's the ticket, Oswald had no reason to eject the last shell, ergo he could not have committed the crime.

[SoCal Pubbie]

It is unclear why JFK was holding his neck. It is possible that the first shot missed everything, struck the curb, and debris hit Kennedy in the throat.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Look at the ACTUAL position of the two seats, which were not at the same elevation nor directly in line relative to the sides of the limo, the posture of the two men, and the fact that bullets can change trajectories within the body (as shown by film of test shots through gelatin) for your answer.

[per loin]

OK. If you believe OJ was framed, it's reasonable that you would also believe that no conspiracy surrounded the killing of Kennedy.
