JFK Assassination Forum

The areas on Rose's document where the DOA is written and the actual time of death are in two completely unconnected different sections.
The document does say that Tippit arrived DOA and then the certificate also specifically says the actual time of death was 1:15.
For instance, if someone dies overnight and arrives at the hospital/morgue Dead On Arrival in the morning at 9AM, the time of death obviously isn't 9AM but the Doctor will base the actual time of death on a number of factors, of when he estimates that the actual time of death actually happened.

Not the wallet at the Tippit crime scene again? Yawn.

Why plant a wallet then refuse to use it as evidence?? This scenario doesn't make a lick of sense, well, not to any sane rational person.

No.  Tippit was not declared DOA at 1:15.
He was declared DOA at Methodist Hispital.
The document also states that the time of death was 1:15.
You're mistakenly mixing the two together.

In this video of the wallet at the Tippit crime scene, the cop with the wallet is randomly waving his gun around, and without a care, even has it aimed close to the hand of the detective who is pointing something out within the wallet and then when the cop hands over the wallet, he quickly points the gun away and more towards himself.
The most likely scenario is that the wallet was being looked at legitimately and also as a bit of a show for the TV camera and thus the cop is a bit flippant with the direction of his gun, but when the civilian approaches and is given his wallet back, the cop responds correctly by diverting the aim of the gun and away from the direction of this civilian.



BTW, I posted this theory on the old Forum and Gary Mack who became a wise wizard, sent me a PM endorsing my theory.

Neither were the clocks that DPD dispatchers worked with, despite the fact that the supervisor of the dispatchers, J.C. Bowles is on record stating that those clocks were not synchronized and "indicated the incorrect time".

Bowley picked up his daughter from school and schools usually ring there bell on time. If school was out at 1:00 PM, which seems likely to me, and Bowley was already waiting, it is fair and safe to assume he would have left the school at 1:00 PM.
Add on 13 minutes for the drive to 10th Street and he gets there at 1:13 PM, maybe a minute or so after the shooting had taken place.

Markham took the same bus to work every day and she knew she had to be at the bus stop on Jefferson at 1:15 PM, where she would either take a delayed 1:12 bus or the next one at 1:22.
The distance of two blocks she had to walk between 9th Street and Jefferson was (according to the FBI) between 5 to 6 minutes, being approx 2,5 to 3 minutes for each block.
It is highly unlikely that Markham would still be on the corner of 10th and Patton at 1:14 when the shooting allegedly happened.

A third indication that the shooting took place earlier that 1:14 or 1:15 is the fact that the ambulance carrying Tippit arrived at the hospital and attempts were made to revive Tippit until he was declared D.O.A. on 1:15 PM, which is also the time confirmed by DPD officer Davenport, who followed the ambulance to the hospital.

The irony of the LN claim is that all the clocks were wrong except of course those used by the DPD dispatchers. Never mind that the J.C. Bowles said that the DPD clocks did not give the correct time!

...and attempts were made to revive Tippit until he was declared D.O.A. on 1:15 PM...
