Oswald: No power lunch

[Walt Cakebread]

Just a thought:
There is a glaring omission in the affidavits of both Shelley and Lovelady - that they walk down to the railroad tracks and enter the TSBD through a door on the west side of the building. In their affidavits both men give the very distinct impression that they re-enter the TSBD through the front door.

Shelley and Love lady were being coached by the WC lawyers.   They were like BR Williams and Harold Norman an Dougherty and many others.... They wanted to "cooperate" with the big shot lawyers and bent their statements as they thought the lawyer's wanted.

  Not another hoax.

What would be the point of having both men tell the same lie about how long it took Baker to arrive after the shots?

Dan, ol man.... I don't have all the answers.    But I know that Lee Oswald had been "tried" in the court of public opinion and most Texans found him guilty.    The news papers printed false accounts that were basically fairy tales, and people believed them.  That's the way it had always been in Texas.     Many a black man had been tried in the newspapers and found guilty of some crime, and then lynched ....  Lee Oswald was simply a stinkin commie, cop killer who deserved to be lynched.

Thus if men like Shelley, and Lovelady thought that they were adding to the evidence against Lee Oswald they would say whatever they thought the investigators wanted to hear.

I understand what you're saying Walt and I agree that there are examples of the kind of corruption in this case you refer to.
But that can't be used as a "catch all" to cover every single detail of the case (IMO)

Dan, I wish that I could "dot every I and cross every T " for you, but alas, I'm not a walking encyclopedia .   I can't only see the broad picture.... many of the fine details are obscured by the smoke created by the conspirators.

I can't argue with that, but the cases against the Black men were usually small with only a few cops and an eyewitness or two and nowhere the magnitude of this case which has many eyewitnesses, dozens of Cops, the FBI and many others, so the chances that everyone collaborated to frame an innocent man becomes exponentially smaller with each person involved, it's just basic logic.
It is what it is, Oswald took a rifle to work and assassinated the President.

Agreed

If it was that simple then why is that Shelley, Lovelady, Williams, Norman, Jarman and Dougherty all lie in their various statements.
These are not "misrememberences" or misunderstandings. They are out and out lies.
If these are just normal working men going about their day while, unbeknownst to them, some lunatic shoots the President, then why all the lies?
