Like I said, "5 Fingers" Groden stood his ground and that's exactly where he Fell.

Why do you call Groden "5 fingers"?

Thompson got it right in this book. For some odd reason, he went back on it years later. But he had it right. The six-second sequence of the shooting is spot on. You can see it immediately after Kennedy is seen reappearing from the sign. Then it goes on to Z313 which is about 6.2 seconds or so.

There's been a lot of craziness in the coming years about shots way up earlier to justify the Tague chips shot, so-called sparks and so on. It's all baloney. Ask yourself - if there was a conspiracy (and I do believe there was) would the shooters have started to fire when they knew there was going to be an oak tree there? No, they wouldn't. Think of the zone like a box - as soon as the car was in the box - that's when the shooting starts. Exactly where Thompson said it was. It's not hard to figure out.

It sometimes helps to do the math.

6.2 seconds before z313 is: 313 – 6.2 * 18.3 which is about z200 (199.54).
Even 6.0 seconds before z313 is: 313 – 6.0 * 18.3 which is about z204 (203.20).

According to Don Roberdeau’s map, the tree is in the way of a shot from z166 through z207. So, if your scenario is correct the first shot was fired while the tree still blocked the line of sight from the TSBS sniper’s nest.

Bugs didn’t need no stinkin’ lawyers!!!

No, he was one.  That's why his book is full of lawyer rhetoric in place of evidence.

If I remember right Bungelosie had some legal problems with one of his ghost writers.

He didn't want to give the person his kudos in the book credits.

There was an out of court settlement.

Josiah Thompson wrote Six Seconds in Dallas in 1967 after three years of intense research and investigation. It is chock full of valuable information.
I don't know if it's available on line, but I'm sure most libraries still have copies of it...... 

If you've read it there are a couple of points that i'd like to discuss.

There may be some confusion over page numbers. The page numbers shown on the bottom of the screen, to the right go from page 1 through 348. I will refer to these numbers as ‘Computer’. These are different then the page numbers printed in the book, which I refer to as ‘Book’.

Below are the two most useful sections of the book:

Page 105 (Computer) or Page 91 (Book) shows the position of JFK’s head from z301 through 330 with a couple of graphs.

Appendix B and C, which was prepared by Physics graduate student William Hoffman appears on Pages 286-291 (Computer) or Pages 272-277 (Book)

These are the two sections that are the most valuable parts of this book, the sections based on the work by William Hoffman.
