JFK Assassination Forum

Walter Cronkite fell victim to the myth that the WC concluded Oswald fired all three shots in under 6 seconds. I don't know how that ever became a widespread belief because the WC reached no such conclusion. They were noncommittal on the time span of the shots. They concluded that two of Oswald's shots struck JFK and one of those hits also went on to strike JFK. The two shots that struck JFK hit him between 4.8 and 5.6 seconds apart. That much is true. The WC also indicated there was likely another shot that missed although they did not conclude which one of the three shots missed. The examined three scenarios in which the first, second, or third shot was the one that missed. The reached no conclusion as to which shot missed. They even allowed for the possibility that Oswald only fired two shots and the reason there were three shells found in the sniper's nest could have been because Oswald ejected a spent shell from the chamber before he commenced firing. I don't think anyone has ever bought into that possibility.

In short, Walter Cronkite was simply wrong when he stated the WC concluded the first shot was fired at Z210. The WC concluded that the shot that hit JFK in the back was fired between Z210 and Z225. They were correct about that but they never said that was Oswald's first shot.

If you look up the definition of charlatan in your dictionary, you will see a picture of Mark Lane.

JC-

I still hold it is plausible that LHO had confederates, based upon my layman's read on the Z-film (JBC shot at Z-295 and JFK at Z-313).

While it is theoretically possible Oswald could have had an accomplice, I wouldn't say it is plausible. In 62 years, no one has produced a scrap of evidence that Oswald had even a single accomplice in his crime.

I am curious as to what your evidence is that JBC was struck at Z295. He was reacting well before that. He had a reflexive reaction at frame Z226 when his right arm suddenly flipped up followed by his body twisting to his right. Z226 was the same frame JFK's arms started upward.

   Interest wanes because alleged JFK Assassination "researchers" continue pounding on the same tired drums. I instead have gone where, "no man has gone before": (1) The Elm St Extension, and (2) The Railroad Yard. This virgin ground has led me to the 2 Newest JFK Assassination Discoveries in decades. (1) A Car rolling down the Elm St Ext while shots were being fired, and (2) An Unknown DPD Motorcycle Cop filmed by Darnell inside the railroad yard.  Each of these discoveries proves a JFK Assassination Conspiracy.

How does a photograph establish that a car was rolling down the Elm St. extension and what is your evidence the photo was taken during the shooting?

Even if we accept your premises of the car on the Elm St. extension and a motorcycle cop in the railroad yard, how would either of those prove a conspiracy?

Lardner, a reporter for the Washington Post, wrote a very good profile of Mark Lane with particular emphasis on the HSCA.
