hi ben for a very intelligent man bugliosi had a crazy logic . as an example in his book he made the comment (not verbatim now ) that  t f bowley might have been correct when he said he looked at his watch at 10th and patton and it said 1.10pm (tippit was already down) . officially the time was 1.16 . bugliosi went on to say that even if bowley was 100% correct that it doesnt matter , why ? he says because " WE KNOW OSWALD DID IT " .

what we know as fact is that the shortest route from beckley to 10th and patton took 12 minutes plus and the most likely route (going by the witnesses ) took about 17 minutes . we also know as fact that oswald only arrived home at 1pm or even a tad later , that he spent 3 or 4 minutes in his room (changed his shirt and slacks ) and left . further we know that mrs earlene roberts oswalds landlady a short time later got up and went to the window and saw oswald STILL out there at the bus stop . so oswald was still on beckley at 1.04 or 1.05pm , bugliosi admitted that bowley may well have arrived at the tippit shooting scene at 1.10 and saw tippit already down . and the late mr buglosi sees no problem there because AS HE PUT IT it doesnt matter BECAUSE WE KNOW OSWALD DID IT . the above leaves at best a maximum of 6 minutes and maybe as little as 3 minutes for oswald to travel just shy of a mile , a distance that even gary mack proved took no less than 12 minutes .

markham said the shooting occured between 1.06 or 1.07 based on her going to work at her usual time and taking her usual route , and going for her usual bus . that fits in with bowley turning up at 1.10 and seeing tippit already down . this means the shooting may have taken place at about the time markham said , that gives oswald even less time than the above 6 . i am just amazed that someone as intelligent as the late bugliosi could make such silly unintelligent comments as the one above that fall apart when one looks at the evidence .

thanks for posting ben and thanks for having me on your forum , i hope i can be an informative and usefull member .
