In reply to the discussion: Sunday Dental Thread: Leaking Composite Restorations and the Kennedy Assassination: [View all]DanTex
(20,709 posts)69. I did. Especially this part.
The absence of identifiable fingerprints does not imply that Oswald had not handled the gun. He may have wiped it clean, or, as Latona suggested in his testimony, the wooden and metal surfaces may not have retained sufficient moisture from Oswalds skin to permit fingerprints to survive.
And then you should read my actual post, which points out that even without the palm print, there is plenty of conclusive evidence that it was Oswald and Oswald alone who did the shooting. The palm print is a tiny part of the case.
The fact that some files are still classified proves nothing. Again, that's not evidence, only speculation. There are plenty of reasons why things are classified. Personally, I would like to see everything declassified (which is apparently scheduled to happen in 2017), primarily so the "why are there classified files" argument would go away.

I think that if you had actually read about it, you would have some actual evidence.

Last post, you said "the most flawed 'finding' of the WC was that Oswald was a 'lone gunman'."
