On one detail, big deal. Brennan thought the guys on the 5th floor
were standing and they were kneeling also.

Poor little buddy. It'll never come home to you that arguing about
Brennan is a waste of time once you have proven that the M-C didn't
fire any bullets that went through JFK, and that Oswald wasn't
anywhere near the 6th floor window when the shots rang out.

With all the coverage of the stairwells, there's not much chance of
Oswald getting past everyone and not being seen, and if he had, he
would be breathing hard when they found him on the lower floor with a
coke in his hand, which he wasn't. And yet Brennan came up with a
perfect ID of Oswald, which all the other witnesses saw all kinds of
other things, like Euins that saw a large bald spot on the top of the
shooters head. And Euins was within 10 feet of Brennan and said that
it was hard to see anything the way the light was reflecting. He
couldn't even tell if the shooter was black or white, yet Brennan had
a perfect bead on Oswald!

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.

Arguing with anyone who would assert something as silly as that is a
waste of time.

On what do you base your idea that it is impossible for a fit man
in his early twenties with near zero body fat to run down 4 flights of
steps without being noticeably winded?

Brennan saw the shooter, gave a description of the shooter that
matched Oswald and identified Oswald as the man he saw. That you don`t
like this is of no consequence, reality is not going to change to suit
you.

Lane's wording is designed to paint Brennan in the worst light
possible. Brennan didn't "swear" (insist) that the man was standing;
he testified that that was how it appeared to him. That impression was
wrong, of course, but (as Lane fails to acknowledge) it was an easy
mistake to make under the circumstances.

OK, did Brennan "swear" (under oath?) that he saw Oswald in the window?
Do you understand that Mark Lane was a DEFENSE attorney?
Do you understand that one of the jobs of a DEFENSE attorney is to
attack the reliability of the prosecution witnesses?

You *do* know what testimony taken under oath is, right?

Why then, do you attempt to give it another meaning?

I think we all know that Brennan was testifying under oath. There was
no need for Lane to emphasize it, unless he wanted to imply that
Brennan was somewhat adamant about his (mistaken) impression. Btw, you
do understand the semantic difference between standing and appearing
to be standing, don't you?

Like Brennan's? Yeah. But Lane used the word "swore" to imply
something else. Do you understand the difference between swearing that
the man was standing and testifying (whether under oath or not) that
the man *appeared* to be standing? Lane certainly does.

> Why then, do you attempt to give it another meaning?

Because Lane used "swore" to imply that Brennan was more emphatic than
he really was.

That is, precisely, what Mark Lane stated. Why is it a lie on Mark Lane's
part to correctly assert that Brennan's testimony was under oath?

How does this simple fact get twisted into a meaning *read into* Mark
Lane's writing that simply doesn't exist?


Is Mark Lane so stupid that he cannot capitalize, italicize, or in some
other way indicate that he's asserting that Brennen "insisted"?

Is Mark Lane so stupid that he can't use the English language in such a
way that reasonable people will all understand what he's saying?


>There was
>no need for Lane to emphasize it,


I'm sure it bugs you that some people are accurate with historical fact.

You're pretending now that there was some sort of emphasis on the word.

Was it italicized? Was it in all caps? Just *what*, about that statement,
leads you to believe that there's something diabolical about it?


Can you admit that testifying under oath is *NOT* the same as "insisting"
on something? I know it wasn't you that said it (or more precisely, I know
it was someone with a different name), but can you defend it?



>unless he wanted to imply that
>Brennan was somewhat adamant about his (mistaken) impression. Btw, you

Why did Mark Lane "insist" on specifying that the alleged assassin was
"resting against the left window sill?"

Could it be, that this was merely another fact that he was stating?

Just as he stated that this was under oath?


>> Why then, do you attempt to give it another meaning?
>

I see that you can't admit that testifying under oath is not the same
thing as "insisting" ... if semantics are all you have, you don't have
very much, do you?

Why would you claim that telling the historical truth is "employing cheap
defense lawyer tactics?"

Do you claim when the Warren Commission report is describing testimony
that it's "employing cheap prosecution lawyer tactics?"


Don't worry, those are rhetorical questions... I don't expect you to
answer them.

In fevered imagination, of course he did.

If this is the best that can be done to show that Mark Lane was a liar...
that he simply told the truth, you're not convincing anyone.

It's good that mind reading is alive and well.

The average person will simply have to read Mark Lane's perfectly
understandable English words, and understand them for what they say.

Does it embarrass you that I'm speaking about facts, and you're arguing

I don't see how anyone from more than 50 feet below would necessarily be
able to tell whether the shooter was standing or kneeling anyway. In the
Dillard photo showing Norman and Williams (I think) on the fifth floor
seconds after the last shot was fired, if you didn't happen to already
know that the bottom sills of the windows were close to the floor, there
would be no way to tell that those men are kneeling rather than standing,
since you can only see them from about mid-chest up.

I guess Mr. Lane left that little part out? ;-)

Lane provably lied about CE 399 being "undeformed", but that doesn`t

King says...
"Thus the Commission contradicted its own star witness in an essential
aspect of his testimony?the posture of the assassin at the time of the
crime. While concluding that 'the half-open window, the arrangement of the
boxes, and the angle of the shots virtually preclude a standing position',
the Commission considered it 'understandable, however, for Brennan to have
believed that the man with the rifle was standing'. The Commission reached
that conclusion because 'the window ledges in the Depository Building are
lower than in most buildings', and 'from the street, this creates the
impression that the person is standing." - Rush to Judgment, pg 84.


Looks to me like the person who "left" something out was the person who
didn't bother to read what he's criticizing.

Would you like to retract your incorrect presumption?

My suspicion is that Tony Marsh is far from the only person in this

Nope. My personal mind reader whom I have on a monthly retainer, has
assured me that this is absolutely false.

Come up with the topic, and I'll be happy to explain it to you. My
suspicion is that you really aren't interested in the explanation... and
will forever avoid stating the topic that Mark Lane was discussing.

I only said he was employing cheap defense lawyer tactics. The rest is
your imagination running wild.

The word used by Lane was "swore." He also left out the "as it
appeared to me" bit when quoting Brennan. You're very naive if you
believe that was an unintentional slip on Lane's part.

Reading Lane's words, the average person would be left with the
impression that the witness was more assertive than he actually was.
Why do you think Lane left out the qualifier "as it appeared to
me"...?

Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment.

What facts? You're simply in denial.

You found a single error in a 1600+ page book? Wow! I guess that means
we can conveniently forget all the good information and analysis.

We understand that Lane is a SERIAL liar in the matter of the JFK
assassination and will use ANY TACTIC to get Oswald off the hook.

Actually, I *PROVED* that this isn't true, and you refused to respond to it.

Truth or lie: "Queen's Bishop pawn to QB4."

What can prove by running away? I know one thing, but I can`t say it
here.

This has nothing to do with whether Lane lied when he called CE399
"undeformed". All you are doing is running from the issue, and it`s all
you can do, lacking the character to admit that Lane lied about the
evidence. Why does the truth need lies to support it?
