Truly weaved a fantasy that had him lifted to the bottom step after the shooting on a wave of hysterical people running a screaming that many still have in their heads.
Truth is, now we've correctly ID'd him after fifty years, that he continued to watch the parade after the time of the fatal shot and calmly walked back to work behind a few others.
Two seconds and twenty seconds after the FS.
Darnell suggests Baker was the first clue Roy had and the man was so oblivious, despite turning and watchingh him run toward him he doesn't even make room.
People are heading back to work and kids are allowed to skip down the street right here, where no one seems to care for their own wellbeing.
This is what he gave to us regarding the immeadiate aftremath(edited for relevance).
Quote:Mr. TRULY. I heard an explosion... Nothing happened at this first explosion. Everything was frozen. And immediately after two more explosions, which I realized that I thought was a gun...
...when the third shot rang out--there was a large crowd all along this abutment here, this little wall, and there was some around us in front--they began screaming and falling to the ground. And the people in front of myself and Mr. Campbell surged back, either in terror or panic. They must have seen this thing. I became separated from Mr. Campbell. They just practically bore me back to the first step on the entrance of our building.
He's filling in the blamks in his own head 'cause even he can't believe he missed the whole darn thing.

I didn't realize that was Truly wearing the fedora in the Darnell film. You're right, his testimony does not come even close to what really happened.
Considering how fast Baker was moving towards the front door of the TSBD, I wonder how Truly and Baker actually got together? Unless Truly springs to life the second after the Darnell film ends, which I doubt, it's going to take quite a few seconds to get him mobilized. Baker must have paused at the top of the steps and was likely asking PM for directions when Truly finally caught up with him.
I wonder how many other exaggerations Truly made in his testimony?
Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
