ground even then was very much in doubt -- such deliberate alteration of a
suspect piece of evidence would constitute a shocking breach of duty.
The impression one gets from Frazier's lengthy and highly profes-
sional testimony is that he would not be guilty of such a breach; and there-
fore it is likely that he indeed was thinking of the fragments when
responding to Eisenberg's stupefying statement/question.
That Frazier's testimony did nothing to enhance the dubious repu-
tation of 399 is finally illustrated by his answer to the following question:
Mr. Eisenberg: How material would you call that defacement (of 399)?
Mr. Frazier: It is hardly visible unless you look at the base of the bullet
and notice it is not round.
and by the failure of Eisenberg to ask "the next obvious question";**
i.e., whether or not Frazier believed a bullet could have fractured Governor
Connally's rib and wrist, leaving numerous fragments, and emerge as intact
and with such "hardly visible" defacement as bullet 399.
