Not directed at John Iacoletti who works harder here than any other poster to actually hold posters to accountability for their actually unsupported assumptions and opinions.
WCR defenders deviate from the deliberations resulting in the WCR, taking advantage by citing Dougherty because the WC did not disclose in the WCR for privacy grounds the ample evidence Dougherty was mentally retarded to the point of confusion. I presented proof he repaired furniture at Goodwill Industries immediately before Truly hired him at TSBD.
Instead of pursuing his military record his own father told the FBI resulted in his early discharge, in wartime, as a result of mental and emotional impairment, the WCR defenders repeatedly emphasize Dougherty's assigned TSBD responsibilities associated with the heating and fire sprinkler systems. Those assignments are lacking specifics compared to what his boss Truly and his own father described about Jack's limitations.
Impairment disclosed in WCR:

Winning an argument at the expense of the apparent truth is the actual point. Amost all posters here are habitually unresponsive to new, well supported research in favor of rehashing ad infinitum the SoS gray with age that so far has resolved nothing. If it ain't a 55 year old dead end, why even indicate the slighted interest in well supported new research?
Back to originally scheduled diversion.
Dougherty WC testimony.....
Mr. BALL - Now, you were on the first floor in the domino room when you finished your lunch, didn't you?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - And did you stay there any length of time after you finished your lunch?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - No, sir---just a short length of time.
Mr. BALL - Then what did you do?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - Well, then, I went back to work.
Mr. BALL - And where did you go to work?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - Let me see---oh,
up to the sixth floor.
Mr. BALL - Did you go to the sixth floor?
Mr. DOUGHERTY -
Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - About what time?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - At about 12:40---it was about 12:40.
Mr. BALL - Had you heard any shots before that?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - Yes---I heard one---it sounded like a backfire.
Mr. BALL - Where were you when you heard that shot?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - I was on the fifth floor.
Mr. BALL - You were on the fifth floor?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Do you remember after you had your lunch, you went back to work that day?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - Yes.
Mr. BALL - When you talked on the day this accident happened, on the 22d of November 1963, in a statement made to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and, Mr. Dougherty, you told them you went down to the first floor to eat your lunch?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - That's right.
Mr. BALL - And that you went back to work?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - And you told him on the 19th day of December, Mr. Johnson, that you went
back to work on the sixth floor, and as soon as you arrived on the sixth floor, you went
down to the fifth floor to get some stock?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - Yes, sir;
that's right.
Mr. BALL - Now, that's the one you took up?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - Yes.
Mr. BALL - Where did you take that---to what floor?
Mr. DOUGHERTY -
I took it up to the sixth floor.
Mr. BALL - Then what did you do?
Mr. DOUGHERTY -
Well, when I got through getting stock off of the sixth floor, I came back down to the fifth floor.
Mr. BALL - What did you do on the fifth floor?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - Well, I got some stock.
Mr. BALL - Then what happened then?
Mr. DOUGHERTY - Well, then immediately I heard a loud noise---
From the 11/22/63 Affidavit
I went back to work at 12:45 p.m. I had already gone back to work and
I gone down on the fifth to get some stock when I heard a shot.
Seems consistent to me......Had lunch, went back to work before the motorcade passed. Called the elevator down from the 5th floor where Jarman and Norman had left it with gates closed. Took the west elevator to the 6th floor to get stock and then down to the fifth to get some more. Left the gates open on the elevator so that Truly could not call with the button. Took the elevator down to the first (or go up to the 6th?) while Truly and Baker are ascending to the 5th floor.
