Hi Dave
Everything about Lovelady would have worked like clock work, if only he and Shelley had not testified to remaining on the steps for 3-4 minutes following the last shot. In fact, if we read this excerpt from Officer Marion Baker's affidavit of August 11, 1964, we begin to have even worse problems with Lovelady (and Shelley):
"3. On March 20, 1964, counsel from the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy timed a re-enactment of my actions after hearing the shots on November 22, 1963. During this re-enactment, I reached the recessed door of the Texas School Book Depository Building fifteen seconds after the time of the simulated shot."
Fifteen seconds for Baker to reach the door at the top of the steps to the TSBD. Hmmmm, so, for Lovelady and Shelley to be seen strolling casually down Elm St., following the last shot, they had, at the most, 5 seconds to get from the steps to their position where they could look back and see Baker and Truly entering the TSBD.
Anyone else see a problem here? Or two?

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.
