Tracy Riddle Wrote:Jim & Dawn, I think we discussed this on another thread and I don't really want to rehash it all here. But Joseph McBride's book does the best job I've seen of pulling together all of the Tippit murder Rashomon. I think there were at least two men involved, and possibly another vehicle. From what I remember, JA doesn't really deal with all of that evidence because it doesn't fit the "Lee pretending to be Harvey" theory.
I don't have any particular theory about the Tippit murder that I'm attached to, but the one JA presents seems overly complicated and involved (like a plot from a movie thriller, rather than a real-life plot).
Hi, Tracy,
Yeah, we have talked about this before. Nevertheless, no one saw more than one man shoot Tippit. A couple of witnesses saw more than one person fleeing, but there can be all kinds of reasons to leave a scene where a cop has just been shot. I'm surprised everyone didn't head for the hills.
John's take seems to me to be the most simple one out there--no Rashomon comparisons needed. Lee framed Harvey. If not Lee, who?
