Jim,
I have not been impressed with the excerpts you've posted on forums from Reclaiming Parkland and these pertain to Baker. You've gone off the rails in recent years and I cannot empathize with your take on Baker. But I did like your previous effort very much, which I read while recuperating from congestive heart failure.
As regards Baker's affidavit, please see my comments in Death of the Lunchroom Hoax, starting mid-page 31 through beginning p. 33, and mid-page 86.
About 6 law enforcement personnel had piled into that small interrogation room at the back of Homicide, with Oswald, while Baker was composing his affidavit. Yet you want to crucify him for getting TSBD details inaccurate. How would you like it if 7 people piled into your study while you were composing a critical chapter wrap-up to Destiny Betrayed? From memory? About some building you had been in one-time only?
And you are daydreaming if you think Spence would have had any kind of case whatsoever cross-examining Baker about this 5/10 minute timeframe finishing up his affidavit. i.e. "Mr. Baker, how come you didn't drop your pen and interrupt these lawmen?"
You tell me, "This is what defense lawyers who know the evidence do." Baloney! Spence had nothing to gripe about. You assume he didn't know this small room was over-crowded. You assume that he didn't know that Baker, just after filling out his affidavit, told Marvin Johnson about the identity of the suspect they'd brought in.
And this affidavit misconstruction on your part is central to the Murphyites' argument that the lunchroom encounter was a hoax.
What an unbelievably sophomoric disregard for Baker's circumstances. You're off the reservation here, and you get overly-sensitive about "smear" terms like hoaxster. Should I amend that to huckster?
Political correctness is destroying freedom of speech. I'll soon be banned from this forum for hate speech for claiming there are major-league factual errors in Bart Kamp's essay.
