40. Four expended cartridge cases were found near the site of the
Tippit killing. Firearms experts from the Warren Commission and the
HSCA concluded that all four were fired in and ejected from Oswald's
Smith & Wesson revolver to the exclusion of all other weapons.
At the time of his arrest, then, Oswald owned and had in his possession
the revolver used to kill Tippit.
Also at the time of his arrest, he
was carrying in one of his pockets five live .38 Special cartridges.
So we know that not only was Oswald the owner and possessor of the
rifle that killed Kennedy, but he was also the owner and possessor of
the revolver that killed Tippit.
In a city of more than 700,000 people, what is the probability of one
of them being the owner and possessor of the weapons that murdered both Kennedy and Tippit, and yet still be innocent of both murders?
Aren't we talking about DNA numbers here, like one out of several
billion or trillion? Is there any mathematician in the house?

Chain of custody issues raise their ugly head again. I'm quite sure
that many people are aware that radio transmissions from the scene of
the Tippit murder stated that the murderer was armed with an
automatic. This is easily determined from the cartridges. Revolver cartridges have a rim that's larger than the case body - that stops
the cartridge from moving too far into the cylinder chamber. Automatic cartridges, on the other hand, have a rim the *same size* as the case.

This cancels out info re the shape of the bullets. It also cancels out Dale Myers' info re what was stamped on the bullets. However, it does not
VERY QUICKLY be determined... but this caused a problem because Oswald didn't carry an automatic.

What evidential value does that have?
