Tippit Shooting, 1:15

[Joe Mannix]

So... if she was listening to the radio, how did she recall that:

“for some reason the announcer turned and looked at the clock”

Because Oswald acted alone?

Stop calling it my BS timeline you fool. In my original post I was citing the LNers timeline and testing its implications. I never claimed it was correct, I was attempting to debunk it. Comprende?

I just wanted you to modify the times relative to the events I described so we can all be on the same page. Instead you replaced them with your own 8 minute timeline, which you still haven't cited your source(s) for. The most important thing anyone can do here is to establish a timeline by forming a consensus re the time of events from the moment the 1st bullet struck JFK (12:33PM) to LHO's arrest in the theater (1:30PM?). Once we agree on that, then you can call BS all you like....without being obstinate, if possible.

Nevermind. I lost my appetite.

I would NEVER endorse the very first entry....1:06 PM: LHO shoots officer JD Tippit ....       Lee DID NOT shoot Officer Tippit.....

You were NOT THERE...so you do not know who did or didn't shoot Officer Tippit.

Lee was seen by his landlady, Mrs Roberts, STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK in front of the roominghouse at 1:04 PM.....  Mrs Markham swore that she saw oficer Tippit shot at 1:06.....

Now all you have to do is show me how Lee could have traveled from the rooming house  to the murder scene that was over a mile away in less than two minutes.....

[Alan Hardaker]

Here's my timeline: Oswald leaves rooming house shortly after 1.00pm
Mrs.Markham sees Oswald shoot officer Tippit at approx 1.09PM...(she doesn't know exact time) positively identified by Markham and 4 other witnesses.
Oswald flees the scene...spotted and identified by several witnesses
TF Bowley arrives at approx 1.10/1.11...assesses situation as best he could and then uses Officer Tippit radio to call in.

The big problem with this scenario appears to be the time it takes to get from the rooming house to the scene of the Tippit murder. Another problem is nobody involved in this episode seems to be clear on the timing. But the fact remains that Oswald was identified as the gunman. Some of the I'd's are a bit sketchy but others are much more believable.

Well you have to show me proof that Mrs.Roberts was exact with her timing and also how Mrs.Markham was exact with her timing and also show corroboration of both claims.

Mrs Roberts said that Lee arrived at 1:00PM  ( this time was confirmed by the WC.)    She said that Lee was in his room for a few minutes and then left...She last saw him standing on the sidewalk in front of the rooming house ..... A few minutes .... 3 or 4 minutes is entirely reasonable because he changed his clothes.....

Some people act like an identification in a biased, unfair lineup is some unassailable truth.

Why do you think Henry Wade had at least 19 of his convictions overturned?
