If Zapruder was the spotter why did he film it and leave evidence? And why did he turn evidence into the authorities? OP doesn’t make any sense ---

And doesn’t the spotter stand near by the sniper? There were other people right next to Zapruder and somehow none of them ever mentioned that the shooter was right next to him. ---

Moreover, what’s this bollocks about listening with your right ear? The Zapruder film is silent. ---

Zapruder didn’t even say that he could hear where the shot came from _Mr. LIEBELER - Did you form any opinion about the direction from which the shots came by the sound, or were you just upset by the thing you had seen? Mr. ZAPRUDER - No, there was too much reverberation. There was an echo which gave me a sound all over. In other words that square is kind of–it had a sound all over._ [http://jfkassassination.net/russ/testimony/zapruder.htm](http://jfkassassination.net/russ/testimony/zapruder.htm) ---

OP should be framed as an example of how whole strings of patently false bombast are presented as “fact” on the JFK assassination. I get so tired of it. ---

> [@Freddy\_the\_Pig](#): > > Zapruder was the “spotter”; that is, the member of a sniper team who assists in the observation of targets. You would think that the shooter would have been able to identify the guy standing up and waving in the middle of the motorcade as the target even without a spotter. ---
