Mr. Brennan should be the crown witness for the WC.
Brennan identified himself as a 45-year-old steamfitter and was sitting on that day on a concrete wall opposite the Texas School Book Depository to see the Presidential motorcate.
While he was watching the Mc shot rang out.
In a statement on the day of the assassination, Brennan claimed that the gunman was “a white man in his early 30’s, slender, nice looking, slender and would weigh about 165 to 175 pounds.”
In his Warren Commission testimony, Brennan gave the man’s height as five feet ten inches.
Arnold Rowland, who also saw a gunman, and Ronald Fischer, who did not notice a gun, both described the man they saw as “slender,” and Fischer added that “he looked to be 22 or 24 years old.”
Lee Harvey Oswald was white, slender, and 24 years old.
Official documents give his adult height as either five feet nine inches (175 cm) or five feet ten inches.
On the day of his arrest, he weighed 131 pounds (59 kg).
All three descriptions could reasonably have applied to Oswald, but could also have applied to any number of young white men.
Brennan, however, turned out to be unreliable and unhelpful.
He claimed that the gunman had been standing up when firing, although the half–open window required any gunman to have crouched or kneeled.
He claimed to have seen the gunman’s trousers, which would not have been visible from Brennan’s viewpoint on the street 60 feet or 18 metres below.
When asked whether he had actually seen the firing of the rifle, he replied, “No.” He claimed that on hearing the first shot, “I looked up at the building.
I then saw this man I have described in the window and he was taking aim with a high powered rifle.
I could see all of the barrel of the gun.”
Brennan’s reaction to the first shot is visible on the Zapruder film: sitting directly opposite the sixth–floor window.
He watches Kennedy’s car go past him to his left, then from about frame 204 he in fact turns his head sharply to his right, away from the TSBD, rather than up toward the sixth floor.
He attended a line–up on the day of the assassination, but “said he was unable to make a positive identification,” despite already having seen Oswald’s picture on television.
A few weeks later, his memory improved and he informed the FBI that he could identify Oswald.
The next month, he changed his mind again and “appeared to revert to his earlier inability to make a positive identification.”
In the absence of any other plausible candidates, the Commission nominated Brennan as the source of the Dallas police
radio despatcher’s description of the gunman, but his limited credibility as a witness raises uncomfortable questions about the actual source.
The House Select Committee on Assassinations declined to use Howard Brennan’s testimony.
So:
The shooter was standing!
Let see of a man appear for that window would make any shots in a standing position.
We use CE-1311 and a computer 3D model for this.
As you can see, it is impossible (even with a window that is 60% open, see 3D model) to take the shots.
Conclusion: Herewith the statement of Mr. Brennan can go in to the bin
