JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: Mary Woodward said there were 3 shots and the 1st shot missed everything
« Last post by Tom Graves on Yesterday at 12:52:04 AM »"I would say to me it seemed like 3 or 4 seconds between the first and the second, and between the second and third, well, I guess 2 seconds, they were very close together. It could have been more time between the first and second. I really can't be sure." -- Pulitizer [sic] Prize winning photographer Robert Jackson
Probably because he mixed the sounds of the shots with their echoes and sorta hallucinated that it was two seconds.

"Yes, I heard one. Then there was a little bit of time [about five seconds], and then there were two real fast [echo sounds of] bullets together." -- Linda Willis

"The [echoes of the] second and third shots [made it seem that they] were pretty close together, but there was a short [5-second] lapse there between the first and second shot." -- Luke Mooney

"Mr. BELIN. And what about between the second and third?
Mr. CRAIG. Not more than 2 seconds. It was—they were real rapid." Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig
Okay.
Roger Craig?

"After what I took to be about three seconds, another shot boomed out, and after what I took to be one-half the time between the first and second shots (calculated now, this would have put the third shot about one and one-half seconds after the second shot--by my estimate--to me there seemed to be a long time between the first and second shots, a much shorter time between the second and third shots--these were my impressions that day), a third shot was fired." -- U.S. Senator Ralph Yarborough, affidavit)
Which proves that even a U.S. Senator can be confused by the echoes of Dealey Plaza.

“There was to me about twice as much time between the first and second shots as there was between the second and third shots.” -- Forrest Sorrels [sic]
Secret Service Agents, too.
Quote
“The Presidential vehicle was approximately 200 feet from the underpass when the first shot was fired, followed in quick succession by two more. I would estimate that all three shots were fired within 5 seconds. -- Secret Service Agent William McIntyre
18 H 747 ?
You meant to say 18 H, CE 1024, page 747.
Regardless, he seems to be referring to the second and third shots.
Quote
“I heard a shot and about 7 seconds later another shot and approximately 2 or 3 seconds later a third shot.” -- Sheriff's Deputy Allan Sweatt
Seven seconds?
Quote
“I heard three shots. One, then a slight [five-second] pause, then two [bullet and echo sounds which made them seem] very close together." -- Lee Bowers
Quote
“The last two were closer than the first. In other words, it was the first, and then a pause, and then the other two were [either echoes or] real close.” -- Haygood
Quote
“The second shot followed some seconds, a little time elapsed after the first one and followed very quickly by the third one.” -- Crawford. (He also confirms that the VP security car had completed the turn when the first shot was heard.)
1) Huh? His English is almost as bad as yours.
2) He thought the Secret Service car was "a yellow closed sedan" that was behind LBJ's car!
Quote
"Q: How much time elapsed from the time you heard the second noise until you heard the third noise?
A: When I heard the second noise, the third was followed nearly just right back-to-back. [Kinda like echoes!] It was fired in rapid succession." -- Buell Wesley Frazier, in his 1969 testimony at the Clay Shaw trial.
He also said he saw Oswald walking towards him down the Elm Street sidewalk about five minutes after the assassination.

And I've made up many more.
We know you have, Andrew.
