Mr Billy Lovelady

[John Mytton]

Now!

Many people-------------even those with no time for the Oswald-Is-DoorwayMan-In-Altgens idea---------------have commented over the years on how different Mr Lovelady appears between here...



...and here...



They've heard all the arguments about aspect ratio and light conditions, but they still feel something is off. They wonder---------despite themselves!---------Can this really be the same man?

Question #7!

What if they're right to wonder?

What if the reason this man-------



-------looks huskier and, well, different to the Mr Lovelady seen in other images is that he isn't actually Mr Lovelady?

They've heard all the arguments about aspect ratio and light conditions, but they still feel something is off.

Well guess what Einstein, the ratio is way off. Standardised NTSC output image is 4:3. Whoever captured the video deliberately squashed the footage to make Lovelady appear thicker. Naughty naughty!





Here's a comparison that is centered directly on Lovelady.

Let's start with this clip, taken in the squadroom at City Hall some 90 minutes after the assassination:



Question #1!

Given that Mr Lovelady clearly notices Mr Oswald being brought past him, why on earth will he----------in his WC testimony------------tell Mr Ball that he did not see Mr Oswald again that day from the time the Depository workers broke for lunch?

That Gif only shows Lovelady looking at Oswald after he has passed by and is facing the other direction. It's quite possible that Lovelady never recognized the individual as being Oswald.

We have footage of Mr Lovelady wearing a long-sleeved red plaid shirt that day.

E.g.:



Question #2!

Why will Mr Lovelady inform the FBI in February '64, and Mr Jones Harris subsequently, that the shirt he was wearing out on the steps at the time of the motorcade was a short-sleeved, vertically striped red and white shirt?





And... why will he years later protest that he said no such thing, even posing for photographs on several occasions in the red plaid shirt?

What normal adult male remembers what shirt they were wearing on a particular day three months prior?

Alan, I believe Tom Scully has previously posted documentation to the effect that JED was over 6? tall.....maybe 6'2?.

I believe that the person in red plaid shirt was Roscoe White.
He had a day off on 11/22/63 and I think he was the person seen in front of TSBD.
Soon after he went to DPD to check if he can help somehow and that we see him in Homicide office at 2PM.
Once the Oswald identity was set, two DPD teams were formed, one went to search Oswald rooming house and second team went to Ruth Paine home. Roscoe was picked to help one of this two teams and this is explanation how he got that back yard photo. Most probably he was the first person to find the photos and took one for himself.
There are not many Roscoe White photos available but sure the resemblance between Plaid Shirt person and Roscoe is much higher than with Lovelady.
