How Could LHO Walk One Mile After Leaving His Room & Shoot A Cop In 13 Minutes?

[John Iacoletti]

Why wouldn't Oswald wait to catch a bus?

Ask Steve Howsley.  He's the one with the narrative that Oswald hightailed it out of there because he was "concerned that his address might already be known to the FBI", and yet hung around at a bus stop right next to the house.

It's just yet more evidence of a man evading capture, a man in flight.

No matter what he did you would consider it "evidence" of a guilty man.

Exactly and Bookout said that Oswald admitted to carrying a gun.

Mr. STERN - Was he asked whether he was carrying a pistol at the time he was in the Texas Theatre?
Mr. BOOKHOUT - Yes; that was brought up. He admitted that he was carrying a pistol at the time he was arrested. He claimed that he had bought this some time ago in Fort Worth.

But we were discussing the claim that Oswald picked up a gun at the boarding house, which is uncorroborated hearsay that Fritz wrote down from memory several days after the interrogation.

Mr Iacoletti.... This Bud's for you....

I'll remind you that you've often said that Benavides didn't actually witness the murder...

What I've said is that Benavides was not an eyewitness to Tippit's shooting.

It was apparently clear to everyone else. It's not my fault if you can't keep up.

A simple question gets turned into an opportunity to try to try to belittle someone. Sad how things go on forums like this.

Circular argument (n):  see circular argument

No circular argument.

All of the evidence points to Lee Oswald as the murderer of J.D. Tippit.  There is no evidence pointing anywhere else.  If there were, you would have already posted it.

Going solely by the available evidence, Oswald killed Tippit, even if it was at 1:06.

[Walt Cakebread]

If the shooting occurred at 1:06, then all it means is that Oswald was at Tenth and Patton by 1:06.

Heee...Hee, ha, ha,ha....  ...  So you believe that Lee was able to be in two places at the same time....At 1:04 JD Tippit was traveling slowly east on tenth between Crawford and Patton as he tailed a man walking east on the sidewalk of 10th street.  Mrs Marklham watched as Tippit stopped his cruiser and called the man he'd been tailing over to his car....at 1:06 Tippit got out of his cruiser and was shot to death by the man that had been walking east on 10th street.

 At the same time (1:04)  that Mrs Markham watched the man on tenth street being stopped by Tippit,... Lee's landlady, Mrs Roberts,  saw Lee Oswald standing on the sidewalk in front of the rooming house at 1026 N. Beckley.

No, going by all the available evidence, who killed Tippit is indeterminate.  Going by cherry-picked, tainted, and misrepresented evidence it was Oswald.

What we have is unfair and biased lineups, a gun that may or may not have ever been in Oswald's possession that took 2 hours to be entered into evidence, some slugs that can't be matched to a specific gun except one slug by one single "overachiever" out of 8 firearms experts, and some shells that may or may not have ever been at the crime scene that don't match the slugs in terms of manufacturer.
