Muchmore: Brake Lights On?

[Nathaniel Heidenheimer]

Whether or not it was intentional, there are a lot of witnesses (see Palamara's article) that speak of a drastic slowdown, near-stop, etc., and they are spread out all over Dealey Plaza. There aren't that many who speak of a full stop. It's hard to know just how hard the braking was. But it certainly looks more accentuated in Muchmore and Nix than in Zapruder -- FWIW.

To me the fact that he hit brakes has to be combined with the departure from standard operating procedure of not scheduling a motorcade making a 90 degree turn. Given that SOP, how can a driver not be highly aware of just how slow the limo is moving.... and THEN he hits the brakes contrary to training? And knowing, as he did, what Dallas was like politically... the most rightwing city on the face of the earth except possibly Glass House in the City of Time-Lifed Angels?
