Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Tim Nickerson]

Yeah, right, the president's been shot and the FBI have no jurisdiction.

The only way that the FBI would have jurisdiction is if they suspected that the killings were a part of a conspiracy. They were at the Texas Theatre as observers. Nothing more.

[Matt Grantham]

The ambiguity is there. Your comment bewilders me.

 OK Tim you tell me what you believe the amount of leeway the term "approximately" merits in a context such as this If such large latitudes are to be accepted then closer questioning should be required Do you have a time of arrest at the theater? Doesn't the McAdams transcript show the Dispatcher says at 1.40 'They already have hi' in reference to the Tippit suspect?

Go and punch a cop and see if you don't get a ride downtown.

None of the other boxes in that section are checked either. That's left for nerdy office guys in glasses to get all uppity & anal about.

Interestingly enough, if you do a Google search for Oswald's arrest report you see it in various versions.  Including one with a notation "Assault to murder off # F85954".  It is also dated 11-22-63 and signed by Fritz with an additional charge that is difficult to make out but something like "1 assault to murder."  I wonder if the kooks have been intentionally dishonest again by using an early version of the arrest report that was not final?

When someone uses the hour or half hour in their approximation, a give or take of 15 minutes seems reasonable. Some witnesses to the Tippit shooting said they heard the shots at approximately 1:00 pm. Others said approximately 1:30 pm.

Oswald was arrested at 1:50 pm, give or take a minute or two.

"No, that wasn't the right one. (1:44 p.m.)"

 What does the dispatcher saying they already got him at 1.40 signify?

 In terms of reasonable approximations It depends on the context, in a court setting I would suggest no more than five

Thanks Tim

  Barret says he arrived sometime after 2 , yet Oswald was in custody at 1.50?

Show us where Barrett said 'sometime after 2'
Pretty sure he said 'approximately' 2

You wouldn't happen to be twisting what Barret actually said, now would you...
