Law enforcement loves to use circumstantial evidence to frame people.
Just pick someone at random and if they don't have a solid alibi they

Well, I'm not an expert on intent, but I tend to think that when someone
pulls out a gun and points it at you and pulls the trigger, that means
he wants to kill you. Unless he was aiming the gun up in the air then
it's just to scare you.

The area between the thumb and index finger (digitus secundus manus,

called webbing. In other sources it is called thumb webbing. The muscles
at the base of the thumb form the thenar eminence.

Learn something about guns. The hammer never falls on the bullet.
It falls on the primer. It can leave a dent without igniting it.

Why on earth would Boyd have to identify cartridges that he had already
identified two months earlier ?
The absence of copper on the bullets speaks for itself, so I'd like to
comment on the corrosion on the shells. My experience has taught me that
such corrosion is caused by moisture being trapped between the leather
holder and the shell and it occurs over an extended length of time.
If you look at the bullets in the gun belt, you can see that the shells
are covered by the holder in exactly the same position as the red box above.
The corrosion reveals that the shells were in either a bullet slide (
above, top right ) or a gun belt ( above, bottom right ) for a long
period of time.
In fact, no evidence exists that Oswald either owned a bullet slide or a
gun belt and neither was ever found by authorities among Oswald's
possessions.
But such items WERE used by police. In addition, the unfired bullets
allegedly found on Oswald's person were .38 Specials, the choice among
police departments.
During testimony regarding the unfired .38 rounds, Warren Commissioner
Hale Boggs seems to take a line of questioning suggesting that police
had planted the bullets on Oswald. Giving the testimony is the FBI's
Firearms ID expert Cortlandt Cunningham:
Representative BOGGS. Is this a police weapon as well?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Yes; and a very good one. Not in that particular
caliber. In other words, the caliber----
Representative BOGGS. That is what I meant.
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. 38 S&W is not a popular cartridge in this country. The
.38 Special is.
Representative BOGGS. 38 Special is?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir. That cartridge.
Representative BOGGS. With police forces?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. We use it. Most of your larger police forces use the .38
Special. It is a better cartridge.
( 3 H 478 )
Then Commission counsel Eisenberg changes the subject before this line
of questioning can continue.
There appears to be more problems with these unfired rounds. Like so
much of the other evidence in this case, there's a problem with the
chain of custody. During his testimony, Dallas Police Detective Elmer
Boyd testified that he had removed the unfired rounds from Oswald's
pants pocket as they were getting ready to enter the showup room for the
first lineup.
The first lineup was at 4pm. Oswald was arrested at 1:47pm. Why did the
Dallas Police wait over two hours to search Oswald's person ?
Boyd testified that he removed the rounds from Oswald's pocket and put
them in his own. He further stated that he marked the shells when he
returned to the office and identified those shells ( CE 592 ) in his
testimony by his mark. ( 7 H 126 )
But what happened to them next is interesting. Boyd testifies that he
turned them over to "someone in the police department":
Mr. BALL. And turned them over to whom?
Mr. BOYD. Well, let me see---it seems like we had a drawer there where
we had some more property, where we put it all in there you know, where
they had the other stuff--I have forgotten just exactly where it would be.
Mr. BALL. You turned them over to someone in the police department?
Mr. BOYD. Yes, sir.
( 7 H 126 )
Who that "someone" was is anybody's guess. For Boyd to testify that
Police had "a drawer" where all the evidence was kept but he "forgot"
where it was located sounds dubious. All evidence in the case should
have been secured in a single location and kept under the tightest
security.Anyone and everyone who handled the evidence should have marked
it and such handling should have been documented with the date, time and
signature of the person handling it.
But this was not apparently done.
Detective Richard Simms, Boyd's partner who was present during the
search of Oswald, likewise could shed no light on what happened to the
unfired rounds:
Mr. BALL. And what about the five rounds of live ammunition, what did
you do with those?
Mr. SIMS. It was also placed in the envelope.
Mr. BALL. And turned over to whom--Fritz?
Mr. SIMS. I don't know who that was turned over to.
( 7 H 173 )
So here we have a serious problem with the chain of custody.
In fact, FBI Headquarters didn't receive the unfired rounds until
November 30th, eight days after the assassination.They received them
from the Dallas Office of the FBI. The FBI's expert, Cortlandt
Cunningham, testified that he had "no first hand knowledge" whether or
not the shells actually originated with the Dallas Police, but the FBI
report stated that they had:
Mr. EISENBERG. Can you tell us who you received them from?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. The Dallas office of the FBI. I have no first-hand
knowledge. I know that they were received from the Dallas Police
Department--but that was due to what I have read in an FBI investigative
report. The laboratory received them from the Dallas office on November 30.
( 3 H 460 )
How could Cunningham have expressed such doubt as to the origin of the
shells if Elmer Boyd had marked them as he said he did ? Shouldn't
Cunningham have seen Boyd's marks ? Shouldn't Cunningham have noted the
marks in his description of the shells ?
Mr. EISENBERG. Could you describe the bullets in Exhibit 592, Mr.
Cunningham?
Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir; all five of them are Western .38 Special
cartridges, which are loaded with copper-coated lead bullets.
( 3 H 459 )
Period. That's it. No marks, no initials, just the shells.
Here's something else interesting.
Boyd gave his testimony identifying the unfired rounds on April 6, 1964
at 11am. That testimony is found in 7 H 119. Two months later, on June
12, 1964, Boyd is again shown the shells by Dallas FBI agent Bardwell
Odum and identifies his mark and the shells as the ones he took from Oswald.
"Five additional live cartridges were found in Oswald's pocket, all of
which were Western .38 Specials, loaded with copper-coated bullets.. The
Western and Remington-Peters .38 Special cartridges are virtually
identical--the copper coating on the Western bullets is not a full
jacket, but only a gilding metal, put on principally for sales appeal."
( Report, pg. 559 )
There are two main problems that I see with this evidence. The first is
that although the photograph is in color, there appears to be no copper
coating on the bullets. The second involves the corrosion on the shells.
Type your paragraph here.

PROOF THE DALLAS POLICE FALSIFIED EVIDENCE AGAINST OSWALD
"Insinuations that Dallas police officials and District Attorney Henry
M. Wade fabricated or altered evidence to establish the guilt of Oswald
were baseless." ( WC Report, pg. 654 )
The "Misfired" Round
Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested inside the Texas Theater at about 1:47 PM
on November 22, 1963 after a scuffle with police during which the police
allege that Oswald pulled a .38 caliber handgun and attempted to kill
the arresting officers.
One of those Dallas Police officers, N.M. McDonald, testified in Volume
3 page 301, that he examined the six unfired cartridges that were in the
chambers of Oswald's revolver after his arrest and that one of them had
a dent in the primer, indicating Oswald had pulled the trigger but the
weapon misfired.
Mr. BALL. And did you look at the ammunition in the revolver, the six
rounds in the cylinder?
Mr. McDONALD. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did you notice anything unusual about any one of them?
Mr. McDONALD. I noticed on the primer of one of the shells it had an
indentation on it, but not one that had been fired or anything--not that
strong of an indentation.
On the next page, McDonald identifies one of the bullets in Commission
Exhibit 145 as the bullet with the indentation:
Mr. BALL. And there are two cartridges that have been marked as
Commission Exhibit 145 that the witness is also examining. Now, on one
of the cartridges that have come from Commission's Exhibit 145,
consisting of two cartridges, one of these you identify as a cartridge
with a dent in it?
Mr. McDONALD. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. How can you tell this?
Mr. McDONALD. From the center of this-of the primer there-it is a small
indentation, and some of the metal is blurred or not polished.
