About this time I received instructions from the chief's office to go no further with the processing, it was to be released to the FBI for them to complete. I did not process the underside of the barrel under the scopic sight, did not get to this area of the gun."

Lt. Day was lying.
This is *NOT* standard practice, and *YOU KNOW IT*.
It would be *STUPID* to photograph what you've just ruined with a bad lift.
Whereas it's virtually IMPOSSIBLE to damage a print with photography.
> If Ben wants to call Carl Day a boob or a dope or a really dumb cop, I guess he can do that if he wants to. But the above testimony indicates that Lt. Day's standard procedure on how to lift and photograph fingerprints and palmprints is not always the same procedure that Ben "The Super Expert On Fingerprinting" Holmes would necessarily follow.
No, what we've seen is Lt. Day's rather silly explanation for the alteration of evidence. He had to lie in order to explain why he didn't follow HIS NORMAL PROCEDURE.
The preponderance of the EVIDENCE shows that this "palmprint" never existed on 11/22/63.
And you know this.
So WHERE IS YOUR CITATION?
You've tried to claim that there's two distinct methods of preserving a print.
WHERE'S YOUR CITATION?
Of course, you know you can't provide one, since this is *NOT* standard forensics.
You lied... and the lie will remain on your website with no explanation...
