Typical behavior from a WC defender, misstating historical facts.
Here we go again with the WC defender revisionism. Just as I predicted
they will try to twist Newman's statement about the shot coming from
behind him into meaning the TSBD. If not the TSBD then there is conspiracy
and they might as well fold up their tents and slink away.
In a statement to the Dallas County Sheriff's Office later that interview,
Newman said, "I thought the shot had come from the garden directly behind
me, that it was on an elevation from where I was as I was right on the
curb."
Why do you ignore his very first statement to Jay Watson? Is that because
you don't know how to find videos on YouTube. Here is what he told Jay
Watson on live TV:

JW: Did, do you think the first gunshot came from behind you too?
BN: I think it come from the same location, apparently there back up on
the mall, I don't know what you call it.
JW: For the benefit of the nomenclature of all you folks, you have gone
out under the viaduct and on the left side there is some grass, do you
think the shot came from on top of the viaduct towards the President, is
that correct?
BN: Yes sir, no, not on the viaduct itself but on top of the hill, on
the mound of ground with a garden.
JW: How far away would you say that is from where the President was, a
couple, 300 yards?
BN: Well, I have no idea, I didn't see where the gunshot come from, we
were looking directly at the President, when he was hit and he's more or
less directly in front of us and we didn't realize what happened until
we seen the side of his head, when the bullet hit him in the head.
He said "mall, I don't know what you call it" and "up on top of the
hill, the mound of ground with a garden."

It's amazing how you WC defenders will claim that a mound of ground
means the TSBD.

He didn't mark the TSBD. You lose.
