Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Bill Chapman]

Do you prefer Joseph Ball?s ?utter screwball??

Ball's 'utter screwball' who positively ID'd mystery guest #2 as the killer

[Bill Chapman]

LOL. He stopped jogging and immediately shot Tippit. No Tippit following him slowly. No little chat. No time for Tippit to exit the car and walk around the front.

Tests show he could have walked (briskly) to the scene in 11 minutes.
Trotting at least part of the way would make a difference.

Which only shows just how unreliable eyewitness identification can be and how badly the line up were set up.

Only a fool would rely on the vague "identification" by someone considered to be a "screwball".....

Plus Earlene didn't have a stopwatch on Oswald.

Even if he left the roominghouse at 1pm and covered the distance in 11 minutes he would still arrive after Bowley did. And Bowley did have a watch!

Good thing there were other witnesses, huh

Oswald didn't need to beat anyone to the scene: He was witnessed creating the scene.
