And that is undoubtedly due to the fact that there was MUCH MORE TO SEE when Lt. Day lifted the print. There was a lot more THERE to see (and lift). By the time Day had lifted Oswald's print off the barrel, very little in the way of a visible print remained (although, yes, Day said he thought enough of a remaining print was still present on the barrel for the FBI to find).
It's good that DVP admits that Lt. Day thought that there was still something to see, yet the FBI did NOT see it. This is a contradiction.
Normally, one would go with the more credible source... and the FBI's fingerprint expert is certainly far better qualified & credible than Lt. Day.
Lt. Day's statements on this palm print are contradictory, and there's still no credible explanation why Lt. Day failed to follow the ordinary procedure that he provably used on other prints, EVEN ON THAT SAME WEAPON. Photography is a standard used PRECEDING a lift, so in case the lift goes wrong, you still have the print. Lt. Day did that on other prints, yet mysteriously skipped that step on the only print that could be matched to Oswald.
David Von Pein has no answer for that incredible fact...
