LHO said whatever he thought might help him appear to not be the shooter. He told Holmes he came down to the lunch room encounter with Baker.
Mr. BELIN. Did he say where he was at the time of the shooting?
Mr. HOLMES. He just said he was still up in the building when the commotion-- he kind of----
"Commotion" --- Thats what Marines call gunfire?
He was up in the building when the assassination took place. Not on the steps. Not in the first floor lunchroom. He was on the 6th floor.
Mr. HOLMES. He just said he was still up in the building when the commotionLee heard Baker and Truly running through the building... And he had been accosted by officer Baker who had a revolver in his hand, THAT is what Lee was referring to as the "commotion".
LHO said whatever he thought might help him appear to not be the shooter. Lee didn't even know that the news reporters were saying the shots had been fired from the TSBD..... He was arrested before he had an opportunity to hear any news reports, so he didn't know what the news was reporting. So how could he "Say
whatever he thought might help him appear not to be the shooter" ??
