For the Tippit experts: on the Walter Cronkite documentary played back by C-Span on 11-22-18, they interviewed witness Domingo Benavides. Benavides stated that Oswald went over and threw his spent cartridges in some bushes.
Benavides then said that he (Benavides) then retrieved the cartridges from the bushes and put them into a Winston cigarette package so as not to leave his fingerprints on them. Following that, Benavides gave them to police.
I had never heard anything about the shells being in the bushes. Plus Benavides said he called in on the police radio. Cronkite played the call-in tape, allegedly made from Tippit's radio. The voice did not sound (to me) like the voice of Benavides.
Cronkite did not ask how many shells Benavides recovered. Also, I think the shells were of two different brands.
Seems like there were a lot of loose ends in the Benavides rendition of his actions.
