The Tippit Case in the New Millenium

[David Josephs]

The radio logs often provide an antidote to the lies & distortions countenanced by WC, no more striking an example than Hill's baldfaced lying to Belin about his statement, "The shells at the scene indicate that the suspect is armed with an automatic 38, rather than a pistol."

Mr. BELIN. Now, also turning to Sawyer Deposition Exhibit A, I notice that there is another call on car No. 550-2. Was that you at that time, or not, at 1:40 p.m.?
Would that have been someone else?
Mr. HILL. That probably is R. D. Stringer.
Mr. BELIN. That is not you, then, even though it has a number 550-2?
Mr. HILL. Yes; because Stringer quite probably would have been using the same call number, because it is more his than it was mine, really, but I didn't have an assigned call number, so I was using a number I didn't think anybody would be using, which is call 550-2, instead of the Westbrook to Batchelor as it indicates here.

Hill's radio log statement occurred after Summers reported a lengthy description of the "get-away man," culminating with "and was apparently armed with a .32, dark-finish, automatic pistol which he had in his right hand." Hill was aware of the caliber error and, after waiting out a series of messages about the fizzled library lead, weighed in with the correction. The second part of the correction concerning the "pistol" makes no sense, but this was not the reason he refused to acknowledge his statement. No amount of equivocation could undo the harm inflicted by the lethal "automatic 38," anathema to the WR script.

Hill avoided the trap by attributing the statement to someone else, duping the willingly gullible Belin who succumbed immediately to the deception, consigning the "automatic 38" to lethe and collective amnesia.

Ther are literally ZERO REPORTS offered by R.D. STRINGER... only H.H. related to the stop sign by the Tippit murder which was knocked over... yet no explanation is offered.

16. CSS Form (Crime Scene Section), by H. H. Stringer. Original form concerning an investigation of a fallen stop sign near crime scene area, (Original), 11/22/63. 00002562 1 page 09 01 016 (no scan)

So I found R. D. STRINGER in 1st Platoon under William Frazier.... http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/frazw.htm

There is no way in HECK that a Patrolman would use the same call signal as a Sergeant or a Captain... even if they were using the same radio... Each person, including Patrolman Stringer, would have their own call number...

This is from Reclaiming History:
Nearby, Sergeant Richard D. Stringer contacts the channel 2 dispatcher.

"Could you pass this to someone. The jacket the suspect was wearing over here on Jefferson in
this shooting bears the laundry tag with the letter B 9738. See if there is a way you can check this
laundry tag." 545

1:44 p.m. Except the DPD radio log shows:

H H STRINGER is the Sergeant under WESTBROOK and was with him thru his amazing travels... We are truly never made privy to why Richard Stringer would be out at these locations given they are traffic cops...

HH Was also at the Theater with WESTBROOK... there were a few traffic cops but again, no RD STRINGER.... and as we see below, his shift was from Midnight to 8am... he most likely went home after his shift and would not be called back in until his next one...

There is also no report related to any activity from his Captain, Will Fraizer... Zip, nada, nothing.... as if he and his men were not involved at all... his testimony is focused on Nov 24 with nothing about the 22nd....

He does mention this though: which seems to imply his platoon was not on between 8am and 4pm.

Seems to me that Hill is once again caught in a big fat LIE.... with Bugliosi adding to the confusion with his awful book.

Mr. HUBERT. What time did you come on duty? Do you know?
Mr. FRAZIER. At 11 p.m., on the 23d. I think that is what they call the first shift?
Mr. HUBERT. First platoon. First platoon, rather, and that goes until roughly 7 in the morning?
Mr. FRAZIER. Around 7; yes sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Had you been on duty the night before, that is, on first platoon. That would have been---
Mr. FRAZIER. What day would it have been, sir?
Mr. HUBERT. Well, it would have been the 23d.
Mr. FRAZIER. I mean, what day of the week.
Mr. HUBERT. Oh, the day before would, have been Saturday.
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes, sir; I was on duty at the time. That would have been the first platoon. Yes, sir; I was on duty at the time.
