It was Benevides who testified he found two shells, one in the bush and 
one next to the bush. Whether the shell Barbara Davis found was actually 
in or near the bush is hardly important. The shells were scattered in a 
small area near the corner of the house where Oswald was seen dumping 
them. The only mystery is why you continue to fixate on the exact location 
of where each shell was found.
