Then went outside to watch P. parade ( Parts 1 & 2 )

Lest we forget, only one single person claims he saw Roy Truly near the backstairs in the same WC timing sequence as the phony dash up the backstairs to embellish a phantom encounter with the wrongly accused. Only one single person.

The problem here is that that lone single person does not put Baker w/Roy Truly during that timing sequence ---->

Mr. BALL. You mentioned you saw Truly?
Mr. PIPER. I don’t know whether it was a policeman or FBI or who it was,
but another fellow was with him.
Mr. PIPER. He ran in and yelled, “Where is the elevator?” And I said, “I
don’t know, sir, Mr. Truly.”
They taken off and went on up the stairway and that’s all I know about
that.

IF Baker was with Roy Truly he would have not been mistaken for a mere policeman instead of a unmistakable motorcycle policeman in white helmet with long black boots, nor mistaken as an agent with the FBI or "another fellow". I will only concede that at some point that yes, Baker & Truly were together at some point, but certainly not in the timing sequence of the horse manure hastily contrived to invent a phantom encounter w/the wrongly accused.

Eddie Piper was a product of the segregated South....    He would never talk back to a white man in authority.

If Eddie thought that the White man wanted him to say the man with Mr Truly looked like Elmer Fudd  that's what Eddie Piper would have said.
 
I believe that Piper was rehearsed before his WC testimony, and he was referring to the "re-enactment " of Baker and Truly ....and Baker was in civilian clothes for the re-enactment ( not his motorcycle uniform) thus Eddie didn't recognize Baker as being a Dallas cop.

Okay, Mr. Cakebread, fair enough. I retract my strong sentiments that she outright lied, and consider perhaps she simply wished to place herself into the major story of the day. No harm, no foul...guess it's a bit of human nature.

Thank You, Mr Ford...That's exactly what I believe happened..... "she simply wished to place herself into the major story of the day. No harm, no foul...guess it's a bit of human nature".

And, I would add I suspect that Mrs Reid might have been another victim of the tragic event.....In that I believe that she had a guilty conscious that nagged at her and caused her depression....Just as it says on her death certificate...

The wrongly accused was framed.

No sniper actually waiting in ambush on the 6th floor facing forward would have known Mr. Jarman (Junior) and his companion, Norman, reentered the building from the rear. The wrongly accused witnessed their entrance in the rear of the building way down on the first floor because he was not in the front of the building up on the 6th floor.

The wrongly accused did not shoot anybody. Anybody.

The wrongly accused did not shoot anybody. Anybody.

Correct, Succinct, and exactly right.....   It's sooooo simple and easy to see, so why the hell do some folks continue to present utter nonsense theories, that attempt to paint Lee Oswald as a cold blooded killer maniac, in spite of the truncated videos in which he presented himself as a completely lucid  and intelligent ( if angry ) patsy.

Because Mrs Reid has made a very early FBI statement of having seen Oswald in the 2nd floor office very soon AFTER shots fired,

What very early FBI statement?

[Alan Ford]

Mr. BELIN. Did you know his name on the day you saw him?
Mrs. REID. No; I did not. When I saw his picture I still didn't know his name until they told us who it was.

So.................how could Mrs Reid have been telling co-workers so soon after the assassination all about having seen 'Oswald'?

By 2:00pm  Lee Oswald's name had been broadcast, In the TSBD....  Truly went to Captain Fritz who was looking at the rifle that had been discovered on the sixth floor( 1:22) and reported that Lee Oswald was missing....  Truly had been looking for Lee Oswald for sometime prior to reporting to Captain Fritz.    Without a doubt Mrs Reid would have heard .....

[Alan Ford]

By 2:00pm  Lee Oswald's name had been broadcast .....

She says she didn't learn his name until after being shown his picture. Who showed her his picture?
