Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

Backes, you can't possibly be that stupid. What the hell is wrong with you? 

If Vicky Adams never encountered Shelley and Lovelady, if it is something the Warren Commission made up, why would they have to fabricate a trek to the tracks? They could have just said they stayed out in front for a while and then came in and saw her. OR, they could have said they came in right away and hung around downstairs for a while until Vicky came down. 

You say that Shelley and Lovelady did not make the trek to the tracks. Well, whatever you think they were doing instead when they supposedly made their trek to the tracks, why couldn't they just honestly say whatever that was and then tack on the encounter with Vicky? Why make it a trek to the tracks? And why have them re-enter through the back door? How was that necessary? Why have all the elaborate dialogue between Ball and Lovelady about how and where they made their way back in? 

There's something you can say universally about lying, and it applies to liars the world over: YOU ONLY LIE AS MUCH AS YOU HAVE TO. And you keep your lies as SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. A simple lie is a clean lie. Well, it's not morally clean, but it's contextually clean. It's less likely to trip you up, to get you in trouble, to invite probing that could sabotage your story.     

But, let's look again at your ridiculous poll:

You say the trek to the tracks was invented to discredit Vicky, but it wasn't needed. They could have said anything, including whatever Shelley and Lovelady were actually doing. Then you say that if the trek to the tracks was real it means Vicky lied. But why? Vicky said she didn't see them, but what does that have to do with whether they went to the tracks?  She said she didn't see them when she got down the stairs. So, from her point of view, they could have been anywhere except where she was. And they could have been doing anything beforehand. That's anything at all. I doubt she had any opinion about what Shelley and Lovelady were doing. I doubt that she gave a rat's ass.  

So, you presented them as two mutually exclusive things: that for Vickey's story to be true, the trek to the tracks must be false. Bull shit, Backes. The trek to the tracks could be true, and Vickey could also be truthful. If she didn't see them, she didn't see them. She rendered no opinion about where they were. They could have been anywhere. She neither knew nor cared. It is ridiculous for you to claim that the trek to the tracks was faked. The Warren Commission did not need it, and the notion that they would go to all that trouble and all that risk is preposterous.
