MW--“Once again you misrepresent what I said. I never said anything about a police officer "just wandering around" or "passing the time of day with a friendly conversation". You seem to be under the flawed impression that every single police officer that ran towards the west area of the TSBD must have been part of the officers who were tasked with sealing off the building”
That is the impression you give. If he suspected them of something, detain them. Sealing of the building is not letting them leave which is what Harkness stated he did.
If that's your impression, then you are cleary not paying attention. I'm not sure where you get the "detain them" stuff from. Nor do I understand why you are stuck on what Harkness said. He didn't arrive at the back of the TSBD until after Adams and Styles were long gone.
MW--“You may think otherwise, but it's not unsual for police officer to tell people to return where they came from to prevent a potential crime scene from being contaminated.”
What crime scene was in the parking lot? They returned by walking along the RR Tracks along side the building.
Did you miss the word "potential"? At the time the officers were searching the cars, just minutes after the shooting they had no idea where a crime scene was
MW--“In other words, if you can show that my time line doesn't work or is wrong, I'll be more than happy to be persuaded by your arguments.”
You have been repeatedly shown what a mess your timeline is. You just don’t want to admit it. It all begins with you understand Adams and Styles were told to go back inside. Which is something they continually admitted too. The police put a timestamp on that event(12:36) along with the one at the front door(12:37). Shelley and Lovelady place a time stamp on when they were at the elevator(12:35). It all fits to the narrative of what Adams and Styles claimed was their travels. Additionally, officer Barnett did not see anyone emerge from the back of the building during the three minutes he stood on Houston Street.
So much confusion. I have been saying all along that Adams and Styles were told by a police officer to go back inside. Your "timestamp on that event" simply doesn't exist. You refer to a transmission by Harkness, but he wasn't the officer that told Adams and Styles to go back in.
Do you ever wonder why they did not talk to Styles? What would be the point they already had the answer after taking statements from Adams, Harkness, Sawyer, and Lovelady and Shelley.
Yes, I do understand why they didn't talk to Styles. They didn't really want to talk to Adams either, but in Styles' case, the last thing they needed was corroboration of what Adams had said. They simply did not want to take that risk. It's the same game they played with the FBI agents who were present at autopsy. After Specter talked to the men and found out what they had to say, they were never called to testify. In his deposition, Tomlinson was asked over and over again about the location of the bullet on the stretcher but he was never shown the actual bullet. But back to Adams; one of the more telling exchanges was this;
Mr. BELIN - Sometime after the third shot, and
I don't want to get into the actual period of time yet, you went back into the stockroom which would be to the north of where your offices are located on the fourth floor, is that correct?
Miss ADAMS - Yes, sir; that's correct.
"I don't want to get into the actual period of time yet" implies he would come back to that, but he never did. And that's (IMO) because he didn't want to know and didn't want it on the record.
Garner provided no valuable information. She was not even at the window when the shots were fired. She went later and then her statement was all confused.
This only shows just how limited your knowledge of the evidence in this case is. The one that is confused, and most likely on purpose, is you.
Instead of focusing on what is important your biggest concern seems to be some silly question you have. Maybe just dodging the real issue?
Asking you for evidence to support a bold and absolutely untrue claim you made is somehow a "silly question". If anybody is dodging the real issue, it's you.
They did not leave for 4 or 5 minutes. There is no other answer.
Too bad that I already have given you another answer. You just don't like it. Your entire fairytale comes down to this; Adams and Styles stayed at the window for 4 minutes (for which there is no evidence as it didn't happen), they then ran down the stairs to the first floor, getting them there at around 1:35, where Adams allegedly saw Shelley and Lovelady (who in fact by their own statement did not enter the annex building until at least 5 minutes after the shots and thus couldn't have been at the bottom of the stairs) and then Harkness told them, at 1:36, to re-enter the building, which they didn't do, at least not through the backdoor. Instead they ran around three sides of the building in less than a minute in order for Styles to be able to re-enter the building at the front entrance.
It's a bogus scenario that you desperately cling to, to keep the possibility alive that Oswald could have come down the stairs unseen after all. The holes in your story and the misrepresentations of the evidence are staggering and of course total
