Yes....Unless you can PROVE that Brewer saw Lee Oswald enter the theater....You're simply assuming.....

Brewer didn’t even claim that he saw someone enter the theater.

John,

Should Brewer have said, "I watched him walk into the recessed area in front of the theater where he disappeared from my view. When I got there a few seconds later, he wasn't there, so I assumed he'd gone inside"?

Brewer didn't go immediately to the theater.....He went back inside his shoe store and told some associates that he was going to the theater and was going to lock the shoe store.....  For all Brewer knew the man could have left the foyer of the theater and never actually entered the theater.... Recall that Butch Burroughs said that nobody came into the theater ......Burroughs was right there and he saw nobody enter....

Tell us why the shoe salesman would have to know the name of the funny-looking guy he saw in his store window--and followed to TT--at that point. Brewer himself testified that the guy was the one he saw at his store.

When??  When?? I say WHEN....Did Brewer first identify  Lee Oswald as the man that he said was window shopping at his Shoe store?

Brewer went through the theater( twice)  searching for the man and he then told Julia Postal that man was not in the theater. .....  Brewer couldn't have missed seeing Lee Oswald when he searched the theater and yet he told Postal that the man who had ducked into the theater foyer was NOT in the theater.

Exactly. Although I don’t think he locked the shoe store. He left it in the good hands of his “IBM men” who hung out there.

True....  in 1996 Brewer told Ian Griggs that after the man who was window shopping at his shoe store left his foyer he ( Brewer) stepped out onto the sidewalk to see where the man was going. Brewer said that he saw the man enter the foyer of the theater and then he went back inside his store to lock up.   A couple of minutes later he asked "Julie" if she had sold the man a ticket....and she replied"what man?"   She had been distracted by the police cars and never even noticed a man in the foyer.   And Furthermore Butch Burroughs said that nobody had entered the theater during the few minutes prior to Brewer bursting into the lobby acting like Dick Tracy....

Brewer told Ian Griggs that he returned to the shoe store and his IBM friends had locked up the store....   ( I don't believe it....He had been gone from the store for only a couple of minutes, and his pals locked up the store??   Did they have the keys to the store??   )  I've read somewhere that Brewer said that he returned to the store and put up a "closed" sign and locked the store......
