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

Let's look at this Lovelady testimony again because I do believe bpete is really shovelling some crapola this evening:

Mr. BALL - When Gloria came up and said the President had been shot, Gloria Calvary, what did you do?

Mr. LOVELADY - Well, I asked who told her. She said he had been shot so we asked her was she for certain or just had she seen the shot hit him or--she said yes, she had been right close to it to see and she had saw the blood and knew he had been hit but didn't know how serious it was and so the crowd had started towards the railroad tracks back, you know, behind our building there and we run towards that little, old island and kind of down there in that little street. We went as far as the first tracks and everybody was hollering and crying and policemen started running out that way and we said we better get back into the building, so we went back into the west entrance on the back dock had that low ramp and went into the back dock back inside the building.

Cinque: Now, that is a very direct statement by Lovelady, and it is a very chronological statement. It is inconceivable that in that situation that Lovelady would have omitted saying that they went into the building first. But, let's continue:


Mr. BALL - First of all, let's get you to tell us whom you left the steps with.
Mr. LOVELADY - Mr. Shelley.
Mr. BALL - Shelley and you went down how far?
Mr. LOVELADY - Well, I would say a good 75, between 75 to 100 yards to the first tracks. See how those tracks goes---
Mr. BALL - You went down the dead end on Elm?
Mr. LOVELADY - Yes.
Mr. BALL - And down to the first tracks?
Mr. LOVELADY - Yes.
Mr. BALL - Did you see anything there?
Mr. LOVELADY - No, sir; well, just people running.
Mr. BALL - That's all?
Mr. LOVELADY - And hollerin.
Mr. BALL - How did you happen to go down there?
Mr. LOVELADY - I don't know, because everybody was running from that way and naturally, I guess---
Mr. BALL - They were running from that way or toward that way?
Mr. LOVELADY - Toward that way; everybody thought it was coming from that direction.
Mr. BALL - By the time you left the steps had Mr. Truly entered the building?
Mr. LOVELADY - As we left the steps I would say we were at least 15. maybe 25. steps away from the building. I looked back and I saw him and the policeman running into the building.
Mr. BALL - How many steps?
Mr. LOVELADY - Twenty, 25.
Mr. BALL - Steps away and you looked back and saw him enter the building?
Mr. LOVELADY - Yes.

OK, that establishes that they began this "trek to the tracks"- they departed- before Baker even reached the steps, as they saw him climbing the steps from a distance.

So, bepete, in order to maintain your LATEST position (and note that he keeps changing it because last night he was saying that they never made the trip at all since they didn't mention it in their DPD statements on 11/22) which is that they made the trek to the tracks but it was much later- after Oswald came outside and left for home, how do you reconcile that with the above testimony which indicates that they began the walk before Baker even reached the entrance? How do you make sense of that? Explain the logic of it.
