And if you look at the Dillard photo, they *appear* to be standing.

It's interesting that the buffs will nitpick at irrelavant details of
witnesses they don't like, and ignore massive holes in the stories of
witnesses they find convenient.

BTW, Brennan was hardly a "star" witness.  Commission counsel *asked*
him whether he had seen a picture of Oswald before he made the
(semi)identification in the lineup, and Brennan said he had.

Here is the WC conclusion about Brennan's testimony.
