Breaking a leg

Hi Dave,

Your point is well taken and it was obviously well thought out. Going through evidence, statements and newspaper articles can be frustrating. Often times it comes down to researchers making a judgement call on the evidence as presented.

While what you wrote about Foster is certainly possible and that he may have mistakenly piggybacked Dr. Mudd's statements in to Lloyd's, I've chosen to believe Foster relayed his findings accurately. If for no other reason than its difficult enough to make sense of KNOWN discrepancies than to assign hypothetical ones - no matter how possible.

You are pretty much saying you don't trust Foster's account of what Lloyd says because Lloyd didn't say it in his own statements. Fair enough.
