Did Roy Truly and/or Marion Baker Lie?

[John Iacoletti]

I understand that some folks think the idea that the red rings on the windows had no significance..... or they believe they were a signal for the fire department.
I believe they were there for a very definite reason.

Do you have any original ideas at all Johnny?

You means fabricating stories for which there is no evidence whatsoever?

No, I don’t do that.

As Mark Twain once said:  quote:   You can't depend on your eyes , when your imagination is out of focus.

And you, Mr Iacoletti,  can't imagine that the word is Mississippi, if every "I" isn't dotted.....

You imagine that the word is Mississippi when you’re looking at a blank piece of paper.

What more is there to know about Truly and Baker?

They both were liars.....and willing putty in the hands of LBJ's cover up committee.....

They couldn't renounce the story about encountering Lee Oswald in the second floor lunchroom.....Because that bit had become cast in stone, by the interrogators and Lee Oswald himself, who said that he was drinking a coke at the time Baker and Truly  entered the lunchroom. 

They could however change the innocuous encounter from a very brief and innocuous meeting into something a bit incriminating of Lee,  by embellishing the story with bits like ..Baker had his gun stuck in Oswald's belly, and nonsense like calling for Oswald to "come here" when he was only a few feet away from Baker.  And the most damaging prevarication was Baker's striking out the words "drinking a coke" from his late affidavit.     

the title asks...   Did Roy Truly and/or Marion Baker Lie?     The answer is: Yes, very definitely...... and it's easily verifiable.....

Mr. BELIN. When you got on the sixth floor, did you happen to go over to the southeast corner of the sixth floor at about that time or not?
Mr. TRULY. No, sir; I sure didn't.
Mr. BELIN. When did you get over to the southeast corner of the sixth floor?
Mr. TRULY. That I can't answer. I don't remember when I went over there.

One lie at a time

Mr. BALL. Now, before inquiring into the circumstances of seeing two guns that belonged to Mr. Warren Caster on November 20, 1963, I'll ask you whether or not you ever at anytime before that time or after that time saw guns in the Texas School Book Depository Building?
Mr. TRULY. Never before.
Mr. BALL. Never before, and between that date Wednesday, November 20, and Friday, November 22, did you ever see any guns in the Texas School Book Depository Building?
Mr. TRULY. I did see guns in there after the assassination.
Mr. BALL. That is, you saw guns of police officers?
Mr. TRULY. Of the police officers.

Why did Truly seem inclined to answer a question that wasn't asked?

I certainly would not defend Truly, but I don't see where he is lying in this exchange.
