Here's an interesting post by DVP in response to a semi-shocking but
apparently accurate post by Tony Marsh.. Anyway sincere thanks to
Marsh for the heads-up on this sizzler:
-------------------

>>> "Bugliosi places the Single Bullet Theory at frame 210." <<<


Yes, an Internet friend told me this the other day by private e-mail
(after that friend asked Vince directly at a book signing in NYC about
his
odd SBT timing). Vince told my friend that he places the SBT "just
after
Z210".

This is, indeed, odd and is something I completely disagree with VB
about,
and I will say so in my tome of a review coming in a few weeks. But
at
least VB realizes that an SBT frame IS on that film SOMEWHERE. There
HAS
to be. The WC knew that and so did the HSCA (even though they, too,
came
to different conclusions about the timing).


Odder still, IMO, is Vincent's picking "210", which is, number 1, a
frame
that DOES NOT EVEN EXIST on the copies of the Z-Film we see today.
Z210 is
one of the damage and removed frames that were damaged by Time-Life
in
'63-'64.


And, number two, Z210 (if it WERE a part of the extant film) can't
possibly lead Vince to a conclusive "SBT" conclusion, because we
can't
even SEE Kennedy's body at that point on the film. All but the top of
his
head is behind the Stemmons sign.


I see, though, that Vince has gotten closer to the true SBT frame
(which
is Z224, without a SPECK of a doubt, IMHO)....because VB had endorsed
the
HSCA's ridiculously-early Z190 timeline back in 1986 at the Mock Trial
of
LHO in London.


Very strange. But I'll wait and see what VB's full explanation is for
this
odd 210 timeline when I read (fully) his book very soon. (My copy is
coming in a day or so.)


Perhaps Vince is doing a little "extrapolating" backward from
Z224-225
(via some "expert" in the field of "reaction times" or something) to
arrive at his 210 SBT time. I don't know. But I'll know for certain
soon.
(Or perhaps Tony Marsh will tell us more details, since he apparently
has
read VB's SBT chapter.)
--------------DVP OFF
regarding Marsh's shocking but apparently accurate post.

MR :~? ED is bamfoozled..
Primarily because one snafu like this and the kooks will attempt to
discredit the entire book.. Unless the quote is not in context OR
there is a valid explanation..
(*Profoundly* interesting to Ed Cage)

PS: Vincent Bugliosi will be in Dallas I believe either Thursday the
24th or 31st.. Anyway I RSVP'd via email and I will be there to
personally ask VB about the "just after 210" block-buster!

David:
I think you've got to say 224.. Perhaps
wiggle room for 223 or the interval in
between, but I'll be interested to see
what VB says.. I'LL BE THERE.


Somewhat perplexed but always *objective*

of course DaBug will be there, I told you a month ago it wouuld be one
of the first stops of Vinnie's farwell tour... His book will be for
sale there, too! It has to be.... there's nothing else for the
Nutter's to read other than the WCR and daPoz

of course he isn't convinced, he knows the Z-film is fraud -- Bet he
couldn't put Harry Livingston's book down..... LMAO!

Here's another interesting post by
Tony Marsh:
--------Marsh ON-----------

"Well, guess who else says that Kennedy was hit at Z-210? I do.
Mainly
because of my match-up of the acoustical evidence. Which then places
the
shot at Z-313 coming from the grassy knoll."

http://the-puzzle-palace.com/headshot.txt

--------Marsh OFF---------

The problem for Tony that he is blissfully unaware
of, is that there is no shot from the GK. That's
right folks, there's no shot at all from the grassy
knoll save a super lucky trick shot than nobody in
their right mind would ever attempt.

A good occasion to lock him up in this Frankenstein museum and throw
away the key.

Reassuring update from respected
researcher Michael O'Dell:

------O'Dell ON--------------
"Actually, he doesn't argue it was 210. The caption must be wrong.
It's a
little misleading to claim his argument is one thing based on the
caption to
one picture, when the book makes clear that it isn't his argument.

On page 40 he has the second shot 3.5 seconds after the first, and the
third
shot 8.4 seconds after the first. So the second and third are 4.9
seconds
apart.

4.9 seconds is 90 frames (18.3 fps cited elsewhere). The third shot
being
frame 313 the second would then be 223, not 210.

Elsewhere the book probably spells it out explicitly, but I haven't
read it
yet.

Michael"
---------O'Dell OFF-----

Thanks Mike! I couldn't make ANY sense out
of a "just after 210" SB analysis.
