Who Killed J.D. Tippit?

[Bill Brown]

Making up percentages doesn’t make your statement any more correct. Clemons didn’t see any less of it than some of the people you call “real witnesses”.

Nonsense.

Burt, Smith, Benavides, Markham and Scoggins all saw more of it than Clemons ever did.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about here.

[Bill Brown]

John Iacoletti, you ignored this...

Are you suggesting that there was a 2nd man and Domingo Benavides somehow managed to miss seeing him?  Do tell.

[John Iacoletti]

I’m not suggesting anything other than that you’re cherry-picking the stories you like.

[Bill Brown]

I’m not suggesting anything other than that you’re cherry-picking the stories you like.

So then you're simply trolling.  Okay.

What did I cherry pick?  Explain.

You said Clemons did not see any less of the shooting than some of the witnesses I listed.  None of the witnesses I listed stated Tippit encountered two men.  I am asking you a direct question.  Do you believe Benavides saw two men?

Ms. Markham said the shooter of Officer Tippt went down the lane, not down Patton

Ms. Markham said the shooter of Officer Tippt went down the lane, not down Patton

Mrs. MARKHAM. Yes, sir; towards Patton. He didn't run. It just didn't scare him to death. He didn't run. When he saw me he looked at me, stared at me. I put my hands over my face like this, closed my eyes. I gradually opened my fingers like this, and 1 opened my eyes, and when I did he started off in kind of a little trot.
Mr. BALL. Which way?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Sir?
Mr. BALL. Which way?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Towards Jefferson, right across that way.

"Towards Jefferson", as in down Patton towards Jefferson.


Mr. BALL. When he went towards Jefferson you say he went at sort of a trot?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did he cross Patton?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Yes, sir.

No: as in down the lane. As she told Mr. Nigel Turner.

Mr. BALL. When he went towards Jefferson you say he went at sort of a trot?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did he cross Patton?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Yes, sir.

Yes: he crossed Patton and then went out of sight down the lane towards Jefferson. As per her same-day affidavit:



Your heroes in the WC couldn't get her to describe the man trotting off out of sight down Patton towards Jefferson. Best they could do was sleight-of-hand the problem with the formula
'Crossed Patton' + 'Towards Jefferson' = 'Down Patton towards Jefferson'
