Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

Buses traveled on a strict time schedule ....   Mc Watters himself told how he was required to be at specific bus stops at a designated time .....Ans that's totally rational and reasonable .      A person using the bus ( Like Helen Markham) would be at the bus stop a few minutes early.

Of course that's reasonable. However, it's also theory. In practice buses frequently run late due to heavy traffic, accidents, road blocks etc. So, if the schedule for Markham's bus was indeed 1:12, the bus may well have arrived 3 minutes late. On the other hand, Markham's estimate of 1:15 could simply be wrong by three minutes.

Of course she would. Leaving home at approx 1:06, a four minute/2 block walk would have gotten her to the bus stop on Jefferson at around 1:10, in plenty of time for the 1:12 bus. There is no way that she would still be at 10th/Patton at 1:14 - 1:15! She would have passed there around 1:09.

Absolutely right Mr Weidman.....re: Markham being at the bus stop a bit early.....  Bus drivers were in trouble if they arrived at a designated point AHEAD of schedule.....and if they were more than five minutes lae at a dsignated point they were required to explain why they were behind schedule....and the problems that you pointed out were acceptable excuses.....   But stopping to pee was not an accepted excuse....

Of course she would. Leaving home at approx 1:06, a four minute/2 block walk would have gotten her to the bus stop on Jefferson at around 1:10, in plenty of time for the 1:12 bus. There is no way that she would still be at 10th/Patton at 1:14 - 1:15! She would have passed there around 1:09.

Officer R.C Nelson had important information about police movements in the Oak Cliff area, yet he was not called to give any testimony, and in all of this threads 123 pages it begs belief how no one else has mentioned this vital guy.
Good Video here with a chilling piece of music which matches the sinister goings on.

Nobody gets to a bus stop at the exact time the bus is supposed to arrive.

To catch a (likely delayed) bus at an estimated time of 1:15, one gets to the bus stop a few minutes earlier

...and then one misses the bus every time it is NOT delayed.

Exactly.

Ball asked Markham what time she "gets her bus" and she replies 1:15.... too late to regularly catch the 1:12 bus and perfectly reasonable to catch the 1:22 bus.

Alternatively, Markham's estimate of 1.15 was just a bit of.

Leaving her house just after one and walking two blocks in four minutes gets her to the bus stop at Jefferson at 1:10.

To catch the 1:12?

LOL

I seriouly doubt she would've cut it so close.

A teenager might, but not a middle aged woman.

I should have said;

Leaving her house just after one and walking two blocks in four minutes gets her to the bus stop at Jefferson at the latest at 1:10.

It makes far more sense than leaving her house just after one to catch a bus at 1.22 when she only had 4 minutes to walk.
