Not everyone was a conscious participant, but some of the Commission and staff members knew they were burying evidence that would exonerate the accused assassin Lee Oswald. Since Oswald consistently declared that he was innocent, it's just not right to proclaim his guilt based on evidence that actually indicates that he was framed. The best way to address such a disaster is with a compelling presentation showing not only reasonable doubt of Oswald's guilt, but that there was never enough evidence for any case against Oswald to go to a jury. What we need is a citizens' body with subpoena power that can address this outrage and other contested events. A quick rebuttal of the Warren Report can be done even though we don't have a couple of crucial tools that would make the task much easier. One is to cross-examine the Warren Commission witnesses with first-hand information, which has been described as the greatest engine for uncovering the truth. The other is to work with government-funded defense experts to challenge the Warren Commission experts, who were widely lauded as the leading lights in the land. The approach will be to use the Commission's own evidence to rebut its own findings. In reviewing the evidence, consider that Hoover told Bobby Kennedy that Oswald was the shooter by 4 pm that day. After that point, the die was cast. What happened in those first hours? We'll analyze here the actions on the ground by certain members of the Secret Service and the Dallas police. The role of members of the intelligence agencies and others will be for another day. Here are the top ten arguments of the Warren Commission, as spelled out by their attorney David Belin in the conclusion of his book You Are The Jury. 1/10 8/4/2021 Yahoo Mail - Topic 5: How the Warren Commission Covered Up JFK's Murder Hulls found on 11/22/63, in the book depository (Image by National Archives) Details DMCA 1. Scientific ballistic evidence proved that the hulls found at the southeast corner of the sixth floor of the TSBD building came from the 6th floor rifle The chief of the Dallas police crime lab, Carl Day, said he initialed all three hulls found on the sixth floor at about 1 pm on the afternoon of November 22. When Day testified on 4/22/64 to the Warren Commission, he had to admit that he did not initial any of them during the time that they were found at the 6th floor of the book depository. As the hulls are nondescript, initialing them is essential if anyone hopes to recognize such an item again. Detective Richard Sims wrote that after Day took pictures of the hulls, he picked up the "empty hulls", Day held open an envelope, Sims dropped them in. Sims held onto an unsealed envelope with three hulls in it at 2 pm; at some point, homicide chief Will Fritz was given the envelope by Sims. Fritz later gave the envelope to a sergeant, who eventually brought one hull back to Fritz and the other two hulls back to Day. Day admitted during his Warren Commission testimony that he only initialed the two hulls in the unsealed envelope when he got it back at 10 that night. Day passed the shells on to FBI agent VinceDrain in the early morning, and I am similarly unaware of any record of Drain initialing any of these materials before he passed them on to firearms expert Robert Frazier at the FBI lab. Frazier's testimony doesn't mention anything about these shells being initialed by either of these men. These hulls should have been excluded based on the failure to have a reliable chain of custody. 2. Scientific ballistic evidence proved that the two ballistically identifiable bullet fragments in the front seat of the Presidential limousine came from the 6th floor rifle There are no records showing that the limousine was secured at Parkland Hospital as it was parked in the lot between 12:30 and 2:30. Motorcycle officer Stavis Ellis describes how reporters and others got close to take a look at it. (Larry Sneed, No More Silence) A bucket was brought to the limousine to wash out the blood, severely compromising the crime scene and the blood spatter evidence. There was absolutely no pressing reason for the Secret Service to fly the limousine back to DC at 3:41 pm, other than 2/10 8/4/2021 Yahoo Mail - Topic 5: How the Warren Commission Covered Up JFK's Murder gaining control over the evidence. The Secret Service had lost the President, and disciplinary actions could have easily followed. The Secret Service fled the scene rather than allow the Dallas police or the FBI to take a look at the evidence until they were good and ready. The Secret Service was not impartial, they had an inherent self-interest in not looking bad. The limousine did not reach any zone of relative security until its 9 pm arrival at the White House garage. Even then, security was lax. Bullet fragments were found inside the limousine at 10 pm, when deputy Secret Service chief Paul Paterni took it upon himself to conduct a "pre-inspection inspection", ostensibly because bone and tissue was on the seats. Nor was there a log kept of who was in the vicinity of the limousine prior to the 1 am inspection. A judge would probably have excluded those fragments from evidence, given all these factors and the history of tampering evidence discussed later on. I should add that recent scientific advances demonstrate that the "neutron activation test" used to verify the fragments in the limousine were a match to the bullet recovered in the TSBD is now considered to be technically unsupportable. Such tests are no longer used by the FBI nor admissible in court. 3. Scientific ballistic evidence proved that the magic bullet found at Parkland Memorial Hospital came from the 6th floor rifle This amazing story has been carefully pieced together by analysts such as Sylvia Meagher in the sixties and John Hunt in the last few years. Although Secret Service agent Richard Johnsen received the bullet in Parkland Hospital by about 1:30 pm, an hour after the assassination, Johnsen's initials are nowhere on the magic bullet, despite regulations mandating Secret Service agents to initial forensic evidence. Johnsen handed it to the chief of the Secret Service Rowley at Andrews Air Force Base at about 7:30 pm, who didn't initial it either. Neither Johnsen nor Rowley could identify it when shown it later. The positive ID was finally made by FBI agent Elmer Todd, who received the bullet from Rowley and delivered it to Robert Frazier at the crime lab. Todd swore that he initialed the bullet - but his initials are not on it either. The only initials on the bullet are those of Frazier and the other crime lab examiners. Copyrighted Image? DMCA The FBI swears that the bullet - known as "Q1" - was delivered from Todd to Frazier at 7:30 pm. However, this does not jibe with Johnsen's note stating that he gave the "attached expended bullet" to his boss Chief James Rowley at 7:30 pm. Todd has a written receipt from Rowley dated at 8:50 pm, which again doesn't jibe with the FBI lab's claim that Todd delivered it to Frazier by 7:30 pm. How did such a troubling situation come into play? Look at this... Within an hour after the assassination, Johnsen was given the bullet by Parkland hospital security director O.P. Wright, after orderly Darrell Tomlinson found it by a stretcher. Like Johnsen and Rowley, neither Wright nor Tomlinson could identify the bullet. In a 1967 interview by private eye Tink Thompson, Wright was described as a professional law enforcement officer with "an educated eye for bullet shapes". Wright told Thompson that the bullet looked like a 30-30 round and had a pointed tip, not a blunt tip like the 6.5 mm magic bullet. It looks like someone originally planted a 30-30 bullet on or near a stretcher before the bullet was found some time between 1:30 and 1:45 pm, in an effort to align the evidence with the Dallas police dispatcher's report at 12:44 pm that 3/10 8/4/2021 Yahoo Mail - Topic 5: How the Warren Commission Covered Up JFK's Murder the 5 foot,165 pound shooter used a 30-30 or some type of Winchester. (30-30 ammo has been used in Winchesters since the 19th Century.) Many years after Thompson's interview with Wright, a FBI memo was found which said that both Wright and Tomlinson thought that the bullet in evidence "appeared to be" the same one that they had seen on November 22. Thompson and his colleague Gary Aguilar sought out the memo's author, FBI agent Bardwell Odum, and interviewed him about this contradictory evidence in 2002.
