So her opinion changed, big whoop. Her opinion changed, but she did not retract her testimony about factual events, including Oswald's attempted murder of General Walker.
Yes, I think she was lying when she claimed Lee shot at Walker.
If she did, she continues to lie about it to this day. Why does she continue to lie about this? Is she a willing or unwilling participant in the lying about Oswald's attempt to kill General Walker?
Ruth Paine's testimony about the incriminating note from "Oswald" raises the suspicion that it was planted. Her house had been throughly searched and nothing like it was found.
From the WC Report:
On December 2, 1963, Mrs. Ruth Paine turned over to the police some of the Oswalds' belongings, including a Russian volume entitled "Book of Useful Advice." 704, In this book was an undated note written in Russian. In translation, the note read as follows...Marina Oswald testified she remembers the note. So if the note was planted, whoever planted the note was also able to get Marina Oswald to lie about the note. Did Ruth Paine play a role in the planting of this note? If so, how do you know?Text of note omitted for brevity.
James C. Cadigan, FBI handwriting expert, testified that this note was written by Lee Harvey Oswald. Prior to the Walker shooting on April 10, Oswald had been attending typing classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings. He had quit these classes at least a week before the shooting, which occurred on a Wednesday night. According to Marina Oswald's testimony, on the night of the Walker shooting, her husband left their apartment on Neely Street shortly after dinner. She thought he was attending a class or was on his own business." When he failed to return by 10 or 10:30 p.m., Marina Oswald went to his room and discovered the note. She testified: "When he came back I asked him what had happened. He was very pale. I don't remember the exact time, but it was very late. And he told me not to ask him any questions. He only told me he had shot at General Walker." Oswald told his wife that he did not know whether he had hit Walker; according to Marina Oswald when he learned on the radio and in the newspapers the next day that he had missed, he said that he "was very sorry that he had not hit him." Marina Oswald's testimony was fully supported by the note itself which appeared to be the work of a man expecting to be killed, or imprisoned, or to disappear.
However, the most damaging evidence against this tale is that the bullet found at Walker's was a 30-06 not a 6.5 millimeter for the MC.
What evidence supports this statement?
