Why JFK Assassin Photo Wasn't Faked Video
★Disclaimer★
Just for the record, TheConspiracyFact is well aware that Oswald was a CIA patsy and MK ULTRA victim who was in the military before the assassination. All this photos authenticity proves is that Oswald had a rifle and of course he did, because he was in the military. The fatal shot came from the front seat of his own presidential limosene

Hany Farid explains why an incriminating photo of JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald isn't a fake, as Oswald and others claimed.

An incriminating photograph of accused John F. Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald is not a fake, as Oswald and others had claimed, a new analysis concludes.
President Kennedy was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963, during a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. Oswald was arrested for the crime, but was killed by Jack Ruby on Nov. 24 before he could stand trial. The Warren Commission concluded in 1964 that Oswald killed Kennedy single-handedly.
The photograph shows Oswald in a backyard setting holding a rifle in one hand and Marxist newspapers in the other. Oswald and others who believed the Kennedy assassination was a broader conspiracy claimed that the incriminating photo was a fake, noting the seemingly inconsistent lighting and shadows.
Dartmouth computer scientist Hany Farid digitally analyzed the image and concluded that the photo had not been altered.
"Those who believe that there was a broader conspiracy can no longer point to this photo as possible evidence," Farid said in a statement today.
Farid added that federal officials long ago said this image had not been tampered with, but a surprising number of skeptics still assert that there was a conspiracy.
Farid and his team have developed a number of digital forensic tools used to determine whether digital photos have been manipulated, and his research is often used by law enforcement officials and in legal proceedings. The tools can measure statistical inconsistencies in the underlying image pixels, improbable lighting and shadow, physically impossible perspective distortion, and other artifacts introduced by photo manipulators.
At a casual glance, the lighting and shadows in the Oswald photo appear to many to be incongruous with the outdoor lighting.
"The human brain, while remarkable in many aspects, also has its weaknesses," Farid said. "The visual system can be quite inept at making judgments regarding 3-D geometry, lighting, and shadows."
To determine if the lighting in the Oswald photo was in fact incongruous, Farid constructed a 3-D model of Oswald's head and portions of the backyard scene, from which he was able to determine that a single light source, the sun, could explain all of the shadows in the photo.
"It is highly improbable that anyone could have created such a perfect forgery with the technology available in 1963," Farid said.

Prohumani: JFK the last true president!
Rich6Brew: Common sense prevails...at least with this aspect of the assassination. Too many people are under the impression that Photoshop dates back much further than it does. Faking that image and making it convincing would have been impossible in the 1960s. Good work, Hany.
TheCrayonMaster: @Rich6Brew Are you kidding? The "photoshop" that existed before the computer photoshop was people sticking negatives together and they were amazing at it. Just look at Oscar Gustave Rejlander, it's what he did to be able to call his images Fine Art since back during that time photography was thought of as an aid to science becasue it only documented. You can see some of the lighting differences just by looking at it but he was during this during the 19th century.
TheCrayonMaster: @Rich6Brew Doing this during* Sorry I just woke up recently so my typing is a little off.
LordBalto: 3D models? There are THREE photos of Oswald from that series. In one the pasted on head is TILTED. Yet the shadow under the nose remains in exactly the same place. Make a 3D model of that, Einstein! Forget the fact that the jaw isn't even Oswald's. Does this guy really not understand the basic data related to these photos or is he just another CIA disinformation specialist?
jamesgambino: the rifle the police held up is different than the rifle in the pictures. What do u think about that?
