Quote:2. Not a real material change... it was not in his Dec 1963 affidavit, nor written in his DPD statement....Immaterial with respect to Croy's putative role, but a badly needed piece of evidentiary support for the role of Benavides as eyewitness, an issue discussed at the beginning of this thread. Until Bowley's oblique references in 1977 only Benavides placed himself at the murder scene when the shots were fired. Moriarty's assignment was to fortify & shore up WR with respect to the Tippit murder, and that's exactly what he did.
I think it just adds credibility to his story (and helps prove the CROY was not there), despite it being remembered and/or added in 1977
Quote:Curious - what do you think the significance of Tippit's pistol and it's journey is on the JFK situation?Not much other than the ramifications of the actual cab commandeer event, triggering the need to cover them up by recasting the ride as a preposterous car chase. In other words if Olsen had slipped away with Scoggins sans Tippit's gun the episode of fugitive pursuit by cab would not have been fabricated.
