Hello folks. I hope you are all having a great week so far. Has anyone read this book and if so, would you be willing to give me your opinion before I purchase it? Thanks in advance.

The man who shot Tippit (not Oswald) escaped and was chased by two witnesses, one of them later told the press about the chase; Tippit's killer ran into a fundamentalist Baptist church, which was shortly surrounded by Dallas PD squad cars and policemen covering every entrance. They waited without entering until a radio call came in announcing Oswald's arrest at the Texas theater. They left immediately without entering the Baptist church despite the presence of two witnesses who had chased the killer there.

Does anyone find it interesting that 10 squad cars, 24 cops and the news media all showed up for a man who allegedly didn't buy a matinee ticket at a movie theatre?

The Muchmore film shows the lead car's tail light is lit-up (brakes being applied). I'm not sure if the president's limo slowed down but I would agree that Connally was probably a bit too tall/big for the jump seat and was doing his best to sit comfortably in it. That might mean he was leaning forward.
