Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

This is ridiculous, where Gary Stover turns his interview of Mary Moorman into an Abbott and Costello routine. She said that she took her picture simultaneous with the first shot, and then she heard two more. But, he's aware that officialdom has it that the Moorman photo was taken at Z-315, which, as he put it, is 2/9 second after the final shot. 

So, he's trying to reconcile the two, but of course, it can't be done. How does he go about it? HE DECIDES THAT SHE DIDN'T HEAR THE FIRST TWO SHOTS, SO THAT WHAT SHE IS CALLING THE FIRST SHOT WAS REALLY THE LAST SHOT.

But Gary: she said right from the beginning that she heard two more shots after she took her picture. You are trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole. 

Gary Stover: 
Okay. The first noise, that we now know was a shot that you heard, when did that occur relative to when you took this photograph?

Mary Moorman:
I heard that when the camera was still up in my face. I heard the noise. I heard a sound. 

Gary Stover: 
Had you taken the picture or not?

Mary Moorman:
At the same…, seconds, or awfully quick. 

Gary Stover: 
They certainly are. Again, I think the photographic evidence does confirm that this photograph was taken within 2/9ths of a second of the shot and then we have to take into consideration the speed of sound, so we’re real close on this being the exact time .

Gary Stover: 
Did you hear a second shot? 

Mary Moorman:
I did, immediately. I was like, pow…pow, pow. It was that quickly. The second shot I was looking at this man and my thought was, I saw his head jump. Well it was his head, you know, the hair that…

Gary Stover: 
Again, was it your impression that he was hit by the first shot? 

Mary Moorman:
Yes. 

Gary Stover: 
And also by a second shot?

Mary Moorman:
Possibly, I'm not sure about the second shot other than I did see something happen to him.

Gary Stover: 
Was there a follow up shot? 

Mary Moorman:
There was…I heard three shots.

Gary Stover: 
You heard three shots. For those of you not totally familiar with the arguments relating to the Kennedy assassination, most people have concluded that there were three shots, but they are not the same three shots that you heard. Most writers believe that the first two shots, most writers believe that the first shot entirely missed, roughly three seconds later a second shot hit Kennedy in the back, and that roughly three seconds after that this shot occurred. And I don't want to put words in your mouth but just so we are completely clear here, you didn't hear those first two… if they were shots, you didn't hear them. 

Mary Moorman:
That's right. I guess not. And if there was a first shot…I don't think I would stand there and then take a picture knowing that I heard something.
