Roger Craig's (Lack of) Credibility

Roger Craig was interviewed in 1968 and in that interview, he stated that Tippit was shot around 1:40. He was immediately corrected by Penn Jones, who told him (Craig) that the Warren Commission determined that the shooting occurred around 1:15. Craig's response to that? "Was it? Oh, that's right."

Then, a few years later, in the early 70's, while writing his manuscript "When They Kill A President", Craig states matter-of-factly that he heard about the shooting over in Oak Cliff on a nearby police radio while he was in Dealey Plaza and he looked down at his watch and noted that the time was 1:06.

Isn't it something that Craig didn't remember this 1:06 police radio stuff while doing the 1968 interview a few years earlier?

Think about it.

Maybe his watch needs a new battery.

Craig was a nutbag.  Even his relatives said as much.  But then, there's Mac Wallace, James Files, etc......  how crazy can you get?

Craig couldn't have heard any radio transmission about the Tippit shooting at 1:06......   That's the time that Helen Markham swore that Tippit was shot.

The first radio announcement occurred several minutes afterward.   A civilian using Tippit's radio blurted out that a policeman had been shot.
