Assuming (why not?) that neither Officer Baker nor anyone (other than LHO, of course) who worked in the TSBD intentionally lied as to what they did and observed on 11/22/63, what mistakes, if any, did they make in their testimonies and reports that tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorists have taken advantage of over the years to construct their tinfoil-hat JFKA conspiracy theories?
A simple example that I uncovered a few years ago:
Three young women who worked in the TSBD -- Stella Mae Jacob, Gloria Holt, and Sharron Simmons -- watched the motorcade from the north side of Elm Street, not the south side as their FBI statements mistakenly reported.
Another probable mistake was when Postal Inspector Harry D. Holmes testified that he had been told (by Officer Baker?) that Oswald had been "stopped by a policeman in the vestibule near the first-floor entrance." Interestingly, Holmes volunteered that he, personally, had never been in "the vestibule," which suggests to me that he meant to say, "the vestibule next to the second-floor lunchroom."
I propose that Vicki Adams and her follow-along sidekick, Sandra Styles, underestimated how much time they spent on the fourth floor before starting to go downstairs, and I also propose that Officer Baker and Roy Truly underestimated how long it took them to get to the TSBD's second floor.
What possible honest mistakes can you think of?
Or do you think several of them lied their you-know-whats off to cover up the "fact" that the evil, evil, evil CIA or [fill in the blank] killed JFK?
