Bill Brown

Reporter: "Were you in that building at the time?" Oswald: "Naturally if I work in that building, yes sir."

Sure thing, Jonathan.

Along with Ruth Paine, I got to spend four days in Dallas (for the 60th) with Ruth's son Chris. He sent me this and said it was okay to post elsewhere. I figured most of you would enjoy the read... https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sHFYsi3YS3Wgqo02Lv7v9SFmEpmGZS7ZjYqxGZ3YSWw/edit

Right. She thought Ball was asking if she knew any of the guys in the lineup from seeing them any time before 11/22/63. This shouldn't be difficult to understand. I already told you she was confused about what Ball was trying to ask her. But, nothing in her testimony in 1964 changes the fact that on the 22nd of November, 1963, she picked the number 2 man (Oswald) as the man she saw shoot the policeman. What's with all the defense attorney games?

.

What does Markham's confusion many months later (about what it was exactly that Ball was trying to ask her) have to do with the fact that she picked Oswald on the evening of 11/22/63? The answer is NOTHING. Her testimony is unrelated to what she did at the lineup.

"Number two was the man I saw shoot the policeman."

Reporter: "Were you in that building at the time?" Oswald: "Naturally if I work in that building, yes sir."

Bombshell. You're joking, right? Reporter: "Were you in that building at the time?" Oswald: "Naturally if I work in that building, yes sir."

So now the words in and inside have different meanings. I don't know, sounds kinda desperate to me.

Oswald clearly admitted to a reporter, on film, that he was in the building "at the time". Oswald is saying that he was inside the Depository at the time of the assassination. Therefore, he is not out on the steps or the landing at the time.

LOL

No. What exactly do you take "at the time" to mean? Think about it.

On film.... Oswald: "I work in that building." Reporter: "Were you in that building at the time?" Oswald: "Naturally if I work in that building, yes sir." Therefore, Oswald was not out on the front steps or on the landing. If Oswald was not out on the front steps or the landing, then he is not Prayer Man/Prayer Woman.

I am here to tell you right now that every single witness who actually saw the gunman never went on record as saying the man was NOT Oswald.

Who are the two researchers who you believe Burt told them that the person he saw was NOT Oswald? I have the transcripts and the audio of Burt's interview with Al Chapman. Though Chapman later sums up the interview in his article which appeared in The National Enquirer and in the article claims Burt told him the man was not Oswald, it isn't so. Burt never said it.

I was at both. The 50th was nicely done and very respectful to the fallen President. The 60th was a Kookfest.

"Moreover, the Nix film, which was briefly mentioned in the documentary, appears to provide crucial evidence. This film seems to show that the shots came from the direction of the pergola in the grassy knoll area, hitting JFK from the right in the temporal region above the ear." Nonsense. Unless you care to take a moment to explain how so.

I don't know of anyone who believes (or has argued) that Benavides was out of his truck just 2 or 3 seconds after the shooting.

If it takes the killer say 30 seconds to get around the corner after firing the shots and Benavides waits "a second or two" after the killer goes around the corner, then Benavides is out of his truck well within one minute after the shots were fired. It's kinda silly for any of us to believe that Benavides is still cowering down inside his truck while Frank Cimino, Halen Markham, Barbara Davis, Virginia Davis and others are at Tippit's body.

That's correct; not to mention, Poe told the Warren Commission that he couldn't even be sure that he marked the two shells given to him.

"And then there is Domingo Benavides. The standard lone-gunman explanation is that Benavides waited in his truck only for a matter of seconds and not for a few minutes. But this flies in the face of common sense, not to mention that it ignores what Benavides himself initially said, which was that he waited in his truck for "a few minutes." If you were only 25-50 feet away from a shooting and feared you could be the next target, how long would you wait until coming out into the open again? Understandably, and by all accounts, Benavides was scared to death by the shooting. He told the WC he waited in his truck "a few minutes" after he heard the shots. According to fellow witness Ted Calloway, Benavides told him the day after the shooting that, When I heard that shooting, I fell down into the floorboard of my truck and I stayed there. It scared me to death. (p. 220) Years later, Benavides changed his story and told CBS he only waited a few seconds, not a few minutes. Predictably, Myers chooses to accept Benavides' belated change of story and rejects his original statements (pp. 86-87)." So then you must believe that Benavides was still cowering down inside his truck while others, like Helen Markham and Frank Cimino, began to mill around the car. He told Eddie Barker (The Warren Report, part 3, CBS, 1967) that he waited a second or two before getting out once the killer went around the corner.

Or.... the jacket collar gave the appearance that the hair at the collar line was squared-off.

My Tippit debate with Matt Douthit. Raw and unedited, so please forgive...

The bottom line is that Doris Holan couldn't have seen the things she supposedly told Brownlow that she saw. I doubt she ever told Brownlow such things. I believe Brownlow mistakenly believed she lived on Tenth Street and invented the whole thing. It's guys like Brownlow who muddy the waters.
