Lovelady in Darnell and it's Ramifications.

[Tom Graves]

My questions are only for the "current" record.

Your questions reveal that you are unfamiliar with the contents of this thread.
Your insinuation, that my arguments have changed during the course of this thread, reveals that you are completely unfamiliar with the contents of this thread.
You are only interested in your own posts, which always have a 'disconnected' feeling about them because you are not actually interested in the topic of whatever thread you are posting on. You are just looking for an opportunity to post about your own "current" theory - STAY TUNED.

And then there is your buying into the current timelines assigned to Shelley, Lovelady, and Officer Baker.

I'm not "buying into" anything.
If you were familiar with the contents of this thread you would see that I am presenting my own arguments and timeline. Although I'm not the first, I'm actually doing something quite novel - I'm taking Vicki Adams at her word. That she did race down from the 4th floor within seconds of the shooting and that she did, indeed, see Shelley and Lovelady near the elevators when she got down to the first floor and that she did all this before Baker and Truly reached the same area (Baker then reporting seeing two white men in this area - Shelley and Lovelady).
Nearly everyone, on both sides of the fence, take the word of Shelley and Lovelady about their movements in the immediate aftermath of the shooting. But it is the easiest thing in the world to demonstrate that these two men are lying in their various statements about their movements.

You claim that Shelley & Lovelady entered the TSBD through the front door, though there is nothing to support that

This statement demonstrates your ignorance regarding the contents of this thread.
I don't know how many times I've made the point that the only account of their movements given by these two men that can be considered reliable are the affidavits they gave a couple of hours after the shooting.
These are their very first statements given to law enforcement.
In the affidavits Shelley is on the front steps, he runs across the street and back, the re-enters the building. Lovelady is stood on the front steps and doesn't even leave the steps before re-entering the building. No walking along the Elm St ext., no hanging around the railroad yard, no re-entering the building through the west door.
Their affidavits are very strong evidence supporting a re-entry through the front doors.
As is the tightness of the timeline in terms of Vicki Adams seeing both men near the elevators 50 -60 seconds after the shooting.

Suppose those 2 guys walking down the Elm St Extension were actually Lovelady & Shelley

There's no need to "suppose" any such thing.
They are NOT Shelley and Lovelady.
So many people have bought into a single, clearly faked image but this has led them to completely disregard the testimonial evidence and start creating their own sequence of events, not supported by any evidence. In fact, utterly refuted by the testimonial evidence.

The crux of the matter is the interaction of Shelley and Lovelady with Gloria Calvery.
This interaction must occur before we see 'Shelley and Lovelady' on he Elm St ext. in Darnell.
But this image is taken around 25 seconds after the shooting and the two men are already well down the street, making it impossible for them to have already had the interaction with Gloria on the front steps (both men are unequivocal about this point in their WC testimonies).
In order to overcome this insurmountable problem, people like Tom and Lance have started peddling the idea that BOTH Lovelady and Shelley raced across the street and met Gloria coming the other way at the "little, old island" dividing the two Elm Streets.
This is a fabrication based on zero evidence created because of their unwavering belief in the image Bart Kamp sharpened up.
They never thought to question this image even though the identification is refuted by the testimonial evidence.
So they've made up something new and once that happens any realistic debate ends.

Dear danny BOY o'meara,

Are you saying the that the only reason you started this thread was to show that Shelley and Lovelady told fibs?
