Who Shot Dallas Police Officer J D Tippit In Oak Cliff?

[Fergus O'Brien]

"The only thing I've ever said about Benavides is that he uses the name Oswald in his testimony.  I do not rely on him as a witness in an attempt to prove Oswald's guilt.  All over the internet, I have listed the witnesses who positively identified Oswald as the cop-killer and I never include Benavides on that list." Bill

so you have never offered a statement from Benavides (as his identification of Oswald  ) made quite a few years after the fact ? .

you were on robert harris forum . in discussion lets say with a new member who from memory was relatively new to study of this case . and you most certainly did try to use Benavides statements (his 1964 testimony in which he merely mentioned Oswald by name and in no way as an identification , and also his several years later statement not under oath that contradicted his testimony )  as an IDENTIFICATION of Oswald as tippits killer .you may not use his testimony / statements now but you certainly attempted to back then .

and the problem is not so much that you attempted it , all be it from my own point of view i would find it a bit dishonest . the problem is that your own stance (certainly then , perhaps its changed now ? ) was that you would not accept later statements made from anyone , certainly not those made years after the fact . as i said you even heavily disputed Earlene roberts statement about seeing a police car outside because she only mentioned it about a week after the fact . its the inconsistency , or hypocrisy if you will .  but i am happy to see that you dont rely on mr benavides years later contradictory statement . not because it was years later but because it was contradictory .

I'm not sure how much more clear I can be.  Benavides does say the name "Oswald" when describing the shooting of Tippit.  However, I never use Benavides as a witness in favor of Oswald being the cop-killer.

There was another guy arrested on 11/22/63 under suspicion of killing Tippit but released the same day and never questioned again. Can not find his name right now.
I do not believe Oswald did it. He was on the panic run, I do not think he would stop and kill Tippit the way it was done. If saw police vehicle, I believe Oswald would run away. If he had to fire shots, it would be while he was running away. I do not think Oswald was the guy to stop and fire four shots in the chest of the police officer.

yes you have been clear , and so have i .

but Benavides reason for the use of the name Oswald was also made clear in testimony and not an identification by him .

Agreed and I've never said otherwise.
