DPD Tapes and a 6 Minute Discrepancy

[Martin Weidmann]

Before I continue, let me note that this particular assertion by Weidman caught my eye:
I've been looking for Poe's and Jez's supplementary report as mentioned by Martin, but all I can find is this one where they hear the radio report at 1:18 PM. Is there another copy that says 1:10, or did Martin just make a mistake?

The copy of the report you have posted is of far better quality than the one I have on file. In my copy the typing and the time is very faint, and I could have sworn it said 1:10. In fact, I still think it does, but your copy has me wondering nevertheless if I did indeed make a mistake. I'll check it out as soon as I can.

In the meantime, do you think you can make a credible comment about the sequence of events and the time line derrived from that which shows that the time line is not correct? You can leave the Poe & Jez report out of it, as it doesn't alter anything in the sequence of events.

I cleared this up with Myers a few days ago.  It was much closer to ninety seconds.

Thanks for clearing that up. It makes no major difference to the time line, but it does establish that Bowley must have arrived at the Tippit scene roughly 2 minutes after the shooting (Benavides waited 40 seconds for the killer to leave and then took 90 seconds working the mic, before Bowley took it over.

Now, here's the obvious problem. Dale Myers has estimated that Tippit was shot at 1:14:30. Add 2 minutes and 10 seconds to that for Bowley to start making his call and you get 1:16:40, yet the DPD transcript has Bowley making his call after the 1:17 time stamp.

And then there is Callaway. He got to the scene within 3 minutes after the shooting. Bowley finished his radio call after 46 seconds, which means at around 1:17:26. Callaway must have arrived after that, because he did not know if anybody had called it in. The DPD transcripts have Callaway making his call at around 1:19 or even (closer to) 1:20. Two minutes is a long time, if you are just standing around. Are we really to believe that Callaway just stood there for 2 minutes or more before he decided to get on the radio?

Meaningless gif.

You know for a fact that the Hertz clock was 100% correct?

As I've already told you, Callaway helped load the body into the ambulance before he made his radio call.

Which only shows how shallow and narrowminded you are, because I assume nor suggest anything of the kind
Ah, again with the automatic character-assassination attempt.. which has the (unsuspected by you, apparently) immediate effect of revealing your shallowness and narrow-mindedness.   

'because I assume nor suggest anything of the kind'
In reply #86 you certainly did 'assume' and 'suggest'
To wit: "Really? Is this just denial or simply an outright lie?"

Cloak & Dagger reference

The Kennedy family had no intention of allowing the assassination to be dragged through the mud by your knuckle-dragging forebearers. But you clowns managed to turn it into a circus anyway.

What I am saying is what I have always said; eye-witness accounts are the least reliable evidence [and a bogus line up can persuade well willing but intimidated witnesses to turn into police pleasing facilitators.]
Yeah, sure.. what you've 'always said' until a witness statement appears which you figure you can spin to make it appear to support you.

Sorry Johnny boy, but Virginia along with a stack of others positively identified Oswald, and all the character assassination in the World will never change the facts.

... he says feigning confidence as if unfair, biased lineups mean a damn thing.
