First of all, while a longtime Education Forum reader, I'm neither a researcher with credentials nor much qualified to debate the issues generally presented on this forum, but I have held a general question or two about the issues about whether the Zapruder film being altered and hope you'll both humor the newbie and possibly explain the arguments in layman's language. From the best I can gather from reading numerous threads over the years, the basic issue is that the Z film as we have it now clearly has frames edited out and the film does not match the detailed accounts of the eyewitnesses. The question I am left with is whether the missing frames, if reinserted, would complete the picture accurately and then match the eyewitness accounts or whether what we have in the film is simply so greatly mismatched that it calls the whole film into suspicion? To my uneducated eyes, I'm having trouble seeing how a limo stop and Clint Hill's own account of his specific actions fit into the film as it is now no matter how many frames might be possibly reinserted. Hoping those of you who do this on a research level can explain the basics to me and will forgive my pedantic presentation. Thanks in advance.
