New Research on the Tippit Case Points *Away* from Oswald as the Shooter

[Bill Brown]

Was Tippit's car that close to the intersection?

I'm not sure what Jack Tatum driving past the stopped patrol car has to do with the intersection, but Tippit fell 114 feet east of the corner (based on Pete Barnes' crime scene measurements and drawings).

Markham's same day (11/22/63) affidavit. "Arms on the door."

Is that Tippit's car in the photo?

If so, my question remains: Was it that close to the intersection?

A better view of what Markham likely saw. Tippit's car would have been on the left, down the street, and not on the corner. Again, from Myer's "With Malice."

What photo are you referring to?

What photo are you referring to?

Never mind.

Jeez.

No one cares about your book "review".

Nothing I said is "wrong".

The two witnesses who stated that the killer touched the door were Helen Markham and Jimmy Burt.  Markham was on the wrong side of the street to make that determination.  Burt was also on the other side of the street and roughly 400 feet away.  Burt's angle suggests that he could have seen the killer touch the door, had the killer indeed done so.  So, if Jimmy Burt says it, it must be true?

The point I was leading up to (but ignored by the thread's creator) is that just because Jimmy Burt said the killer put his hands on the door doesn't mean it's a fact that the killer indeed placed his hands on the door.

Jimmy Burt also stated that when Tippit pulled up alongside the guy, he (Tippit) leaned over and rolled down the window.  The window was NOT rolled down.  Burt made an assumption about the window and therefore could have made an assumption about the killer touching the door.
