Zapruder Frame 160: The Case Closed By O. J. Lee
Zapruder Frame 160:
This is the frame where Bugliosi and Posner, etc indicate that the first shot was fired. Now, the first shot is the easiest in terms of distance and the fact that the shooter has time to aim. Their are several problems associated with this claim. First, at Frame 160, the Presidential limousine is just about underneath the 6th floor window. Anyone shooting from the sniper's nest would have had to lean out the window, with his rifle (By the way, Mr. Posner. You write this carpola book called, “Case Closed” and you have a graphic on Oswald's assumptive weapon. But, you don't call it a rifle – you call it a gun. I wonder where your editor was to try to save you from your ignorance. If any GI referred to his rifle as

It is most appropriately used when something is obviously wrong, yet the conclusion ignores, manipulates or blatantly is too stupid to know otherwise. There was a great book written, which had “Outrage” in its title. This book referenced the O.J. Simpson not-guilty verdict and how everyone that dealt with it was inept and corrupt. My brother and I have the same view of what we have discovered in looking at JFK murder apologists who use information to blatantly distort the truth. Why this is, or was done is perplexing – but the facts are the facts. If the two of us, certainly amateurs can see this, it shows how the American public doesn't care or is just plain ignorant and it is easy to run a narrative over decades that uses wrong facts, charts – or, the most easy of all, plain “fuget abot …show more content…
This is shown in Bugliosi's book, “Reclaiming History”. You will see that there are 3 representations of the limo moving down Elm Street, with the Zapruder Frame Number indicated. One is marked frame # 160, Bugliosi's frame for a first shot. At this position, it seems that this would be about the right position for the first shot to have missed and a fragment of the bullet to have nicked James Tague's cheek. We must remember that Mr. Tague was standing on the north side of the triple overpass and can be seen in a photo. But, there is a problem with this representation and it is appalling. In order to see why we say this, we show the actual frame Z-160 in our following graphics. Look closely at this shot. You will see that the front of the car has just barely made it to the point where it would be adjacent to the depository. Any shot at the Presidents car at this point from the sixth floor of the depository couldn't hit the pavement and was way out of line in being in Mr. Tague's path. The box used to represent frame Z-160 would be behind the trees, just entering Elm street. A shooter would have to be positioned so that the muzzle of the rifle barrel would be sticking out the window at a 90 degree angle. There were people still lining the street at this point. If a shot missed, it was miraculous that it didn't hit or was noticed by anyone at this

    Through ballistics research and forensics experts who studied JFK’s body and other experts at the crime scene conclude that, “nearly the whole bullet found on Governer Conally’s stretcher at Parkland memorial and the two bullet fragments found in the front seat of the presedential limousine were fired from the 6.5-millimeter Mannlicher Carcano found on the sixth floor of the depository building”. This was stated from the Warren Report, a report on the conclusion of all the findings of the crime. This evidence supports the fact that Lee Harvey had shot JFK because he owned and was in possession of a 6.50millimeter Carcano rifle. This is evident through the documentation of a mail order for the same rifle used for the assassination, advertised in an issue of American Rifleman. His prints were also found on the rifle, reinforcing he was in possession of it. More supporting evidence was the finding of the rifle partially hidden in a brown bag, in the same room Oswald was in at the time of the assassination. All this evidence clearly shows Lee owned and was in possession of the murder weapon.…

    In this unending circumstance of the former football player Orenthal James Simpson accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994. The investigators reigned the knife out after weeks of forensic testing. The authorities determined that there is no link to the murder. However, one of the reason police had presented proof of knife last month. They had learned that the knife had been in the proprietorship of a retired L.A. cop for more than twelve years. The officer acknowledged it from the construction worker who told him that he found the knife while working with a crew tearing down Simpson’s Brentwood estate. Simpson was above suspicion of stabbing to death, his ex-wife and Goldman in 1994 outside her condominium.…

    The Commission in its report did not mention an FBI report from a witness placing Oswald in the second floor lunchroom of the depository at 12:15. They did report Oswald being in the lunchroom between 12:31 and 12:32. It would be difficult for anyone to believe that Oswald ran up to the 6th floor to assassinate Kennedy and then returned to the lunchroom at 12:31. Since Kennedy was assassinated at 12:30, the Commission actually presents evidence that Oswald was in the lunch room at the time of the assassination as he could not possibly hide his rifle and get down to the lunch room within two minutes. 5.…

    Larry King, from CNN, could not have summarized a single day any better. On June 17, 1994, he told his viewers that, “If we had god booked, and O.J. Simpson was available, we would move god”. (Tru T.V.) The Rangers just won the Stanley Cup, and they were celebrating their parade in Manhattan that day. Also, the Knicks and Rockets were at Madison Square Garden, playing a crucial fifth game of the NBA Finals. Meanwhile, world renown golfer Arnold Palmer was playing his last-ever US Open round, the soccer World Cup had opened in Chicago, and baseball was still active despite the doubts of a lockout. (ESPN Video) Even though all of these events were taking place on June 17, 1994; 95 million Americans found it more entertaining to watch the famous white Bronco police pursuit towards Orenthal James Simpson’s Brentwood residence. The pursuit, arrest, and trial were among the “most widely publicized events in American history.” (Simpson Wikipedia)…

    Oj Simpson Trial Analysis

    This was a rather catchy song. While I’m not typically a country music fan, this song got stuck in my hard for far longer than I care to admit. The chorus of the song sees Chris Knight repeating that he was framed for the murder of his wife’s presumed lover. I might even have believed that he was framed, except for the section where he states that the “man took his wife, he was hell bound. Even if he did shoot him down, I was framed.” He attempted to justify his actions by blaming the shooting victim and saying that he wasn’t the only one to blame for the situation that occurred. This song is a rough parallel to the OJ Simpson trial. OJ Simpson was accused of killing his wife, Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman. Prosecutors unsuccessfully…

    Orenthal James “O.J.” Simpson was a famous football star and actor. Simpson’s life was completely changed when he was put on trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Lyle Goldman. Due to the celebrity status of Simpson and the media coverage that followed the case, it is known as the “Trial of the Century.” Officially called the People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson, the trial lasted from November 2, 1994 to October 3, 1995. After the extensive trial, Simpson was acquitted on murder due to a lack of evidence to convict him. This verdict is one of the most highly debated verdicts in one of the most high profile case.…

    There was an abundance of evidence recovered by police and the prosecuting attorney that really makes you think about how in the world this man was set free. For instance, there was a bloody shoe found around the crime scene but not just any shoe, it was a size 12 Bruno Magli shoe, a relatively rare Italian-made model. It just so happens that O.J. Simpson wears a size 12. It also happens to be a coincidence that, according to the prosecuting attorney, O.J. Shopped at this particular store that often sold this brand of shoe.…

    The O.J. Simpson trial was one of the most recognizable cases in American history. It went on for nine months. There were 11 lawyers representing the O.J. and 25 working around the clock for the largest prosecutor's office in the country. The opinion of the Jury was for the defense, not guilty. I agree with them. It would have been crazy if O.J. was convicted because the evidence was not properly handled or accounted for, the main police officer handling the case was a racist man and the defendant was black. And people who were testifying on the prosecutor's defense were proven to be lying under oath.…

    Many people disagreed with the outcome of the O.J. Simpson trial for the murder of Nicole Brown and Ronald Lyle Goldman. One of the reasons why O.J Simpson was not convicted was because a glove found at the scene didn’t fit Simpson’s hands. But even though the glove didn't fit, he should have been found guilty because he was known to be abusive towards his wife and Simpson was found rapidly leaving the crime scene in his van. Therefore, O.J Simpson most definitely did not get a fair trial.…
