My training is in psychology so I have examined this thing from a behavioral point of view. Let's assume for a minute that Lee Harvey was indeed the lone assassin as history would have us believe. There are certain undisputed facts that we must account for. On this assumption, we are asked to believe that Oswald fired his Mannlicher-Carcano( a very poor choice for an assassination, by the way, especially when the scope was off by six degrees and the weapon could not be sighted accurately according to testimony to the Warren Commission by an Army weapons expert) and killed Kennedy from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book depository. He then had the presence of mind to hide rifle in a corner behind some boxes, but left the three spent shell casings behind. First problem, if he was concerned about hiding the rifle, why would he not take an extra second to pick up the shell casings? He then rushed down four flights of stairs where he was seen calmly drinking a coke by a Dallas policemen who swore he encountered Oswald no more than 90 seconds after the shots were fired. Even if it were possible to do all this in 90 seconds and not be out of breath or agitated it is highly unlikely. Then Oswald calmly exited the building and headed home. Did he stay home and lay low? No. He allegedly got a hand gun and left his apartment. Then for some unknown reason, he allegedly shot Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippet and again calmly and coolly walked away. His next move is what puzzles me. He then went to the Texas movie theater where he avoided paying the fifty cents admission by jumping over the turn style. The ticket taker called the cops who showed up with guns and eventually subdued him and took him into custody. Kind of strange that anyone would logically assume that a person trying to beat paying to get into the movies is a presidential assassin. But what makes no sense to me is if the guy was guilty of calmly killing President Kennedy and Officer Tippet and calmly drinking a coke after running down four flights of stairs without breaking a sweat, why in the world would he then risk exposure by panicking and not paying for a movie ticket? It seems to make no sense to me. A guy that cool after two killings is just not going to all of a sudden crack. All he had to do was wait for the heat to die down a bit and calmly head out of town or wherever he was planning to go after he completed the assassination. It just doesn't add up for me. If he had stashed that rifle and ran down those stairs and calmly got himself a Coke, then he would have been at least perspiring or a bit agitated and the police officer, who was questioning him would have been suspicious. In fact, the police officer stopped questioning him when one of Oswald's co-workers vouched for him that he was all right as he was an employee of the School Book Depository. In any case, it would have been a simple thing to question the employees later on to see if Oswald had been there drinking the Coke in the lunchroom before the officer came on the scene looking for the assassin. To my knowledge, no one ever did. So, if we eliminate Oswald as a suspect, who does that leave?

Oswald was supposed to be a famously cool character, according to the police, anyway. But, other testimony paints him to be a nervous wreck during his General Walker mission and at the Cuban and Russian embassies in Mexico. Experiments have determined that he would have had enough time to do what they say he did. I don't think the psychological approach will answer this little problem. Of course, Oswald was standing outside on the front steps when JFK was shot, so he couldn't have done it.

As opposed to the person pretending to be Vincent T Bugliosi here at the acj newsgroup, the real Mr. Bugliosi (who doesn't use a computer) doesn't place the Tippit murder at 1:14:55. Vince thinks Tippit was killed at approx. 1:12 PM or earlier (see page 78 and Endnotes page 50 of "Reclaiming History"). And the rifle was found at 1:22, not 1:28.

OK. I see what you did, "Vince". You've written "1:28:30" above, but you obviously meant 1:22:30, because the entry right below 1:28:30 is 1:23.
10-4.
But you sure as heck didn't get "1:14:55" (for Tippit's murder) from the real Bugliosi's book. You got that from somebody else's timeline.
