More from the Myers blog: "As for the Tippit shooting, Jimmy’s claim that I used Jack Ray Tatum as my chief witness in the 1993 PBS / Frontline special “Who Was Lee Harvey Oswald?” infers that I had something to do with Tatum being on the PBS special. I was hired as a consultant and on-camera talking-head. Producer Mike Sullivan made all the decisions regarding the production. In fact, the Tatum segment was filmed before I arrived in Dallas to do my part." Mr. DiEugenio, do you care to address this and perhaps correct yourself?

More from the Myers blog: "Jimmy D’s latest rant claims that Don Thomas destroyed my argument that Dallas Police Motorcycle Officer H.B. McLain would had to have been “riding at 200 mph to be in the correct spot” to capture the sounds of the gunshots as presented by the HSCA. Actually, what I concluded was much more sophisticated and destructive to the HSCA and Thomas. You see, we know McLain’s speed as he entered Houston street. It was 14.7 mph as he rounded Main onto Houston. We also know when this happened in relationship to the HSCA’s own acoustic timing – just 0.6 seconds before the first shot! And according to the HSCA, McLain was traveling at the speed of the motorcade – 10.5 mph – between shots 1 and 2. That means – if the HSCA’s acoustic evidence is valid – then McLain would have to accelerate from 14.7 mph to a speed significantly greater than 198 mph in just 0.2 seconds and then slow down to 10.5 mph before reaching the first shot position – all of this during the allotted 0.6 seconds! Does that sound possible to anyone with a fifth-grade education in science and physics?" Mr. DiEugenio, would you like to respond to this?

More from the Dale Myers blog: "The credentials I hold in my chosen field are solid. My computer animation work was evaluated and vetted by Z-Axis Corporation in 2003. They concluded that the methods I used to match the path of the limousine to the Zapruder and other film and photographic sources were sophisticated and accurate; that I did an excellent job of matching the positions of Kennedy and Connally in the car; that my use of a straight line for the trajectory of the single-bullet was a reasonable assumption given the speed and relatively short distance the bullet could have traveled; that errors in wound placement based on the autopsy and operative reports of JFK and JBC were properly constrained by the use of an error cone which was well thought out and accurately created; and that the methods used to determine the source of the head shot were sound and logical. In summary, they wrote, “Mr. Myers has taken a comprehensive and reasoned approach to animating this event and has successfully incorporated many diverse visual records into a unified and consistent recreation. We believe that the thoroughness and detail incorporated into his work is well beyond that required to present a fair and accurate depiction.” (emphasis added) What does Jimmy D do with the Z-Axis Corporation’s report? He ignores it, of course! Instead, he substitutes a strawman argument that I am unqualified in the field of forensic science." Myers' animation work was vetted by Z-Axis Corporation in 2003. 'Nuff said.

From the Dale Myers blog: "Jimmy D likes to point out that I don’t have the credentials of famed forensic scientist Dr. Henry C. Lee (as if I’m supposed to before embarking on the creation of a forensic animation) and concludes that I have no business discussing trajectories, wound ballistics, and the like. Ironically, then, Jimmy trots out Millicent Cranor, Pat Speer, Bob Harris, and others to take pot shots at my animation work. What are their credentials in the field of computer animation? Answer: Nada." I wonder if perhaps Mr. DiEugenio would like to address this by explaining the point he was trying to make when he mentions Cranor, Speer, Harris and others.

(Dale K. Myers, With Malice, 2013 edition, pg. 427) "Three and a half minutes after the Tippit murder, a Dallas County sheriff patrol unit radioed from the corner of Tenth and Jefferson, about 500 feet from the Marsalis bus stop where Oswald's transfer could have been used. if that patrol car was in the vicinity a few minutes earlier, it might have been enough to dissuade Oswald from hanging around until the bus showed up at 1:30 p.m." In other words (and it's admittedly speculation on Myers' part but it makes more sense than anything else), there is the possibility that Oswald walks the most direct route from the rooming house to Tenth Street. He's now walking east on Tenth, towards Marsalis, on his way to the only bus stop in Oak Cliff where the transfer would still be good. He reaches a point about two blocks east of Tenth and Patton (Tenth Street begins to curve to the right at roughly forty-five degrees). This curve prevents Oswald from noticing a sheriff's deputy patrol car until he (Oswald) is already at the curve. Having no idea at this point if his face has been plastered all over television, Oswald does not want to walk right past a patrol car so he turns around and is retracing his steps, now walking west on Tenth (back towards Crawford and then Patton). Oswald's about-face goes unnoticed by the sheriff's deputy and this possibly gives Oswald the confidence to do it again minutes later when he sees Tippit's patrol car approaching him... And it is this about-face which causes Tippit to pull up alongside. Back in March of 2020, I walked from the bus stop in front of the rooming house on Beckley to Tenth and Patton (south on Beckley, west on Davis, south on Patton). I reached the corner of Tenth and Patton in 12:25. Give Oswald a minute and a half to walk east along Tenth (after originally arriving at the intersection with Patton) to the point where Tenth Street curves and then give him a minute and a half to walk back to the point where he is encountered by Tippit, then we have Oswald standing beside Tippit's patrol car at 1:14-1:15 (if Oswald left the bus stop in front of the rooming house at 12:59 p.m.).

The broadcast was put out by Herb Sawyer who most likely got the description from Brennan. -

Bill Brown replied to James DiEugenio's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
More from the Jack Myers article, linked by DiEugenio... Approximately 1:05:30 Officer Tippit, now sitting once again in his patrol car outside of the Top 10 Records store, suddenly hears his police radio crackle to life. There has been a reported fight and possible stabbing at the corner of 10th & Marsalis, several blocks east of where his patrol car now sits near the corner of West Jefferson Blvd. and Bishop Avenue. A man has supposedly been stabbed and thrown into the back of a blue car which drove away from the scene. Tippit puts Car #10 into gear and moves out in a big hurry. When asked, Jack Myers could not lead me to the portion of the police tapes where Tippit could have heard of any stabbing. Strike three. -

From the Jack Myers article, linked by DiEugenio... Approximately 1:04 p.m. Several blocks east of Top 10 and the Texas Theater, an unknown young white male about 5’8” to 5’10” and 165 pounds wearing a white shirt and light tan Eisenhower jacket begins to quickly walk west on East 10th Street. The man is in such a hurry that he catches the attention of those inside of Clark’s Barber Shop at 620 E. 10th as he breezes by that establishment’s storefront window. A pedestrian, Mr. William Lawrence Smith, passes the same man as Smith walks east to lunch at the Town & Country Café just a few doors west of the barber shop. (John Armstrong, Harvey and Lee, p. 841) The Clark's Barber Shop sighting, according to those inside, took place that morning; NOT after 1 pm. Strike two on the Jack Myers article. -

I find this laughable. It's like DiEugenio (along with Jack Myers) is unaware that Tatum's account has him passing the patrol car at a point in time when Oswald and Tippit were talking through the window, i.e. Tatum places himself within fifteen feet of Oswald. I corrected Jack Myers on this about a year and a half ago but apparently it fell on deaf ears. -

Gerry, you're absolutely correct and it's amazing that this had to be pointed out. Strike one on the Jack Myers article. -

Did the HSCA tackle the issue? There was no "issue" to tackle; only misunderstandings by those in the CT community decades later.

Well, for starters, I think we all can agree, when referring to shooting deer, that left to right is preferred over moving away in a straight line because the deer, when moving left to right, provides a much greater target than it would if it were running away from you in a straight line. This same idea does not apply to the human head, however. As for your other point, trajectory is hardly a factor at 88 yards and under. Just my opinion, though.
-
I disagree. From the sniper's nest window, the target (the limo) would be moving away from the shooter in almost a straight line. The target is getting smaller with each passing second but is moving away from the shooter in (pretty much) a straight line. From the west end, the target (the limo) is moving much more drastically from left to right, as opposed to moving away in a straight line. This left to right movement of the target makes for a much tougher shot, for sure.

When she said "all the lights went out", she is referring to the lights on the phones.

My opinion: Oswald was over on the west end of the sixth floor contemplating (at least briefly) shooting from the westernmost window on the south side. Photos of the building taken that day show the southwestern windows opened. Anyway, while Oswald is over on the west end of the floor, Williams appears on the floor and makes his way to the area of the southeast windows (the sniper's nest area). So we have Williams at the southeast windows and we have Oswald at the southwest window. This matches up with what Arnold Rowland said he saw, re: two men on the sixth floor and the one with the rifle over at the west end.

Hines said the lights to the phones were dead (because no one was calling in, which would illuminate the buttons on the phones). She didn't say the lights to the building were dead.

Someone(s) were on the way down in the elevator at the same time as them. Between 30 seconds and a minute after shot's were fired. Yes. Jack Dougherty. With the electricity off? No. The electricity was never off.
-
If the safety doors to the freight elevators weren't closed, then the elevators would not function. If I'm a would-be assassin up on the sixth floor and I didn't want unexpected company, then I'd leave the doors up (opened) so that no one could operate the elevator. Remember, Oswald called for the elevator to be sent back up when Givens and the others went down to watch the motorcade.

No. Hines did not say anything about the electricity being off. She said the lights to the phones went dead because there were no incoming calls, nothing about the electricity being off. It's myths like this which get repeated as fact that muddy the waters.
