QUESTION TO PONDER #7
How could Lee Harvey Oswald be on the 2nd floor just 90 seconds after the last shot & not draw further suspicion from Officer Baker who stopped him?
The question assumes Oswald was in the 6th floor corner window when shots were fired at JFK.
The Warren Report not only concluded that he was, but also that he had time to appear on the 2nd floor in 90 seconds.
The Warren Report not only concluded that he was, but also that he had time to appear on the 2nd floor in 90 seconds.
Dallas Police Officer Marion Baker, going up the stairwell on the other side of the Depository with Superintendent Roy Truly, sees Oswald moving away through the window of a door on the 2nd floor just 90 seconds after the last shot.
Could Oswald have made it there in just a minute and a half?
If Oswald did, he would have had to go the length of the 6th floor to reach the stairwell.
If Oswald did, he would have had to go the length of the 6th floor to reach the stairwell.
He also would need time to stash a rifle behind boxes near the stairwell.
He, then, would go down 4 flights of stairs & through the door to be seen by Baker.
Warren Commission Exhibit
Oswald bought a soft drink from a vending machine in the 2nd floor lunch room.*
*The soft drink was not mentioned in the actual report.
*The soft drink was not mentioned in the actual report.
Baker was an experienced, trained officer. He asked Truly if he knew "this man." Truly said: "Yes, he works here!"
Baker immediately turned away & continued up the stairs.
Baker immediately turned away & continued up the stairs.
During questioning after his capture, Oswald said he was on the 2nd floor during the assassination.
It is very unlikely that Oswald could have gone from the 6th floor corner window to the 2nd floor in 90 seconds without showing some signs to arouse Baker's suspicion other than "moving away from the door".
