Besides (possibly) hiding evidence of bullet holes, any repositioning of the sign has other
implications as well:
Thus, by virtue of those ingenious calculations, approximations, and speculations,
a trajectory of 45° is reduced to one of about 17°, without regard for
the physical law stating that the line between two fixed points (the Book
Depository window and the car positioned at the Stemmons Freeway sign) is a
constant. The Warren Commission has formulated a new law: The shots came
from the Book Depository window and no other point in the universe; everything
else is mutable.
To regard such capriciously fluctuating "evidence" as authoritative or authentic
would be folly, all the more so when the testimony of the groundskeeper
at Dealey Plaza, Emmett Hudson, reveals that one of the two fixed
points—the Stemmons sign—had been shifted from its place after the assassination
and removed completely by early in 1965. (7H 562-563) Nevertheless,
Liebeler, the counsel who examined Hudson, failed to ask a single question
about the removal of the sign or to take the slightest interest in this provocative
information. Consequently, we do not know if the sign was moved before or
after the FBI re-enactment tests of May 24, 1964 or, for that matter, before or
after the Secret Service re-enactments of December 5, 1963.
The repositioning and ultimate disappearance of the Stemmons sign is a
mystery with ominous undertones. Having no interest in evidence which did
not incriminate Oswald, the Warren Commission took not the slightest interest
in the Stemmons sign and, needless to say, made no investigation into when and
why it was moved.
