Lee Harvey Oswald backyard photos are authentic, new scientific study confirms
Another round of mainstream media 'news' today that might seem a little stale for Case Closed fans:
Researchers at Dartmouth College have published the results of a new examination of the famous 'Oswald brandishing his rifle' backyard photos in the Journal of Digital Forensics. Relying on the latest forensics techniques and a 3D model of Oswald, the unequivocal conclusion "refutes the argument of photo tampering." Read the full report.
This conclusion should not come as a surprise. In an 'Author's Note' to the paperback edition of my 1993 book, Case Closed, I wrote: “Time and technology have caught up to the conspiracy critics. Some of their most important contentions have collapsed; for example: Photographic tests reveal that the backyard photos of Oswald holding his weapons, contested as fakes, are authentic..."
It is always nice to get some confirmation, even 22 years after publication :-)
