Drew Phipps Wrote:If Prayer Man is Oswald, and he's standing on the front steps as Baker runs past him, how does he get in front of Baker before the second floor lunchroom? He must pass the hurrying officer in the hall, or on the stairs. And then how can Officer Baker still (initially) suspect that he might be the shooter, having seen him TWICE already, within 2 minutes, in perfectly innocent locations?
Drew, as I said, there are many people, including me and Sean, who question whether or not the lunchroom encounter happened.
And we have good reasons to do so.
If one looks at Baker's first day affidavit, there is no mention of it at all. Period. And what makes that even harder to understand is this: When Baker filled out the affidavit with no mention at all of this incident, Oswald was sitting right across from him in the room.
But Sean goes into way more depth on this whole chimera than I can.
IMO, the lunchroom incident was manufactured by the Dallas Police. They needed this whole second floor debate--could he have flown down the stairs that fast--to detract from the point that Oswald was on the first floor.
But, too late, Barry Ernest's book has proven that Oswald was never on those stairs at all.
How bad was the WC? They knew about Oswald being in the room with Baker, and they knew Vicki Adams was telling the truth. THey did all they could to conceal both facts.
