The Missing Door

We have testimony from an
attorney, Jack Zimmerman, an officer of the court who went inside
the Branch Davidian compound and saw the evidence of the BATF
having fired into the compound. That evidence he has said was a
metal door with holes showing the firing was from the outside.
That door is missing.
This was a metal door and not
subject to melting or disintegration. This was a two part door.
The government has obligingly presented the other door but can
not find the first door. Who has this door?
The government had exclusive
access to the fire scene for several weeks. In that time the
door disappeared. When the Texas Rangers were permitted on the
scene they could not find it. Where could it have gone?
I certainly would not like to
accuse the government of concealing or destroying evidence but I
find it hard not to do so. Just where does a metal door go when
its mate is found intact? Does God have some special hatred of
left doors in fires?
I have to ask if this door
disappeared in its entirety what other evidence might have
disappeared? There must be something to the non-existence of
other evidence. We know the government will fake evidence in
such prosecutions as in the Randy Weaver trial but this is the
first demonstrable case of the destruction of evidence by the
Federal government.
It is quite difficult to
stretch this out to the right length as the case is prima facia
of evidence destruction. We have a case of fraud upon the court.
