Dear danny BOY o'meara,
The guy walking up the steps wearing light-colored pants and the brown shirt is Bonnie Ray Williams. He testified to the Warren Commission that he came down from the fifth floor about 15 minutes after the assassination, and that he and some others were then taken by car to the courthouse to write up affidavits. Therefore, it would seem that the above scene (with Lovelady smoking a cigarette on the steps) was filmed by Robert Hughes significantly more than 30 minutes after the assassination.

Just to put this in some kind of context.
You've taken a picture I posted ONE MONTH AGO and have felt the need to make this point about it representing the moment Bonnie Ray Williams was taken to the courthouse.
This is from a post 106 REPLIES AGO.
This is the only detail you feel comfortable criticizing?
You've trawled through the thread and this is the only point you can make?
I suppose it's a testimony to how solid the arguments are that I've put forward in this thread.
Now...as for the point you are making...
You're wrong.
You've stuck your head above the parapet over this minute detail and you're wrong.
The image from the Hughes film is showing the moment Bonnie Ray, Junior Jarman and Hank Norman run outside after reaching the first floor and are pointed out by Brennan as being the guys he saw on the fifth floor. They are then called back inside the building.

This image is taken approximately 10 - 15 minutes after the shooting.
In the image showing Williams, Arce and Shelley being taken to the police car the area around the front steps has been completely cleared and is from later on that day.
