Quote her saying she saw the guy duck in.

Mrs. POSTAL. Yes; and when the sirens went by he had a panicked look on his face, and he ducked in. (7H10)

So she did indeed see the guy after all.  A few posts back, you said she didn't see the guy.

You asked me to quote her saying that the guy ducked in.  Whether it's true or not (and the totality of the evidence indicates that she didn't see anybody "looking panicked" or "ducking in"), she did say it.  Did you say "Who said Postal saw the guy duck in?  You're confused" just so you could play rhetorical games again?

Here (again) is where you lack the ability to use your common sense.

Postal said she saw him, she saw the panicked look on his face.

She did not see him duck in; she made an obvious assumption based on the fact that she did not see him continue walking west of the theater (which is the direction she was looking) and Brewer told her the guy ducked in.

You always think your imagined stories are "common sense".  But what you are doing is cherry-picking the things you like.  I could just as easily claim that Brewer told her about the look on the guy's face too.  She was facing the other direction and said "what man?".

The things I like?  What do I care whether she saw him or not?

Anyway...

"As I started back in the box office, Johnny (Brewer) asked me if I had sold that man a ticket.  I asked him what man.  He said the man that just ducked in here.  I told him no, I didn't, but I had noticed him as he ducked in here." -- Julia Postal (affidavit)

Postal called the police...

"The officer asked me if the man fit the description of the suspect.  I told him that I didn't know because I hadn't heard the description of the suspect.  I told the officer that I would describe the man to him and that he could take it from there." -- Julia Postal (affidavit)

How ironic, seeing as how you're a cherry-picker par excellence.
