Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Bill Brown]

Nobody gets to a bus stop at the exact time the bus is supposed to arrive.

To catch a (likely delayed) bus at an estimated time of 1:15, one gets to the bus stop a few minutes earlier

...and then one misses the bus every time it is NOT delayed.

[Bill Brown]

Buses traveled on a strict time schedule ....   Mc Watters himself told how he was required to be at specific bus stops at a designated time .....Ans that's totally rational and reasonable .      A person using the bus ( Like Helen Markham) would be at the bus stop a few minutes early.

Exactly.

Ball asked Markham what time she "gets her bus" and she replies 1:15.... too late to regularly catch the 1:12 bus and perfectly reasonable to catch the 1:22 bus.

[Martin Weidmann]

Alternatively, Markham's estimate of 1.15 was just a bit of.

Leaving her house just after one and walking two blocks in four minutes gets her to the bus stop at Jefferson at 1:10.

To catch the 1:12?

LOL

I seriouly doubt she would've cut it so close.

A teenager might, but not a middle aged woman.

I should have said;

Leaving her house just after one and walking two blocks in four minutes gets her to the bus stop at Jefferson at the latest at 1:10.

It makes far more sense than leaving her house just after one to catch a bus at 1.22 when she only had 4 minutes to walk.

It makes far more sense than leaving her house just after one to catch a bus ar 1.22 when she only had 4 minutes to walk.

An elderly woman wouldn't want to be standing for over ten minutes waiting for a bus.

Notice how when Markham rounded off the time she catches her bus ..it was only an approximate time but when someone else's 'recorded' statement  rounds off to the nearest half hour it is nailed as an exact time. Who pried that time of day out of all these affidavits that were executed anyway? Notice how each one states "at approximately 1:30"---it sounds contrived and rehearsed. Who looks at their watch when pandemonium arrives? Also...it was reported that Helen Markham was a punctuality nut and was never late. The case against Oswald smelled rosy to the authorities when actually there was a stench about it that still exists even today.
