Witness Reliability
Stumbled onto a story while looking for something else, that highlights the issue and casts a pall over the Tippit case.
The story is about 11 witnesses to a 1941 robbery/murder in Buffalo.
Some witnesses reported that one of the bandits was tall, the other short. Others said they were both the same average height. One witness has both wearing suit coats. Others said one was wearing a brown overcoat and the other a tweed overcoat. One witness had one of the bandits in a denim jacket. Of note is that a brown overcoat was found after the nurder believed to belong to one of the bandits.
What stands out here in contrast to the Tippit case is that these were not fleeting glimpses from some distance. These were cafe workers and patrons with a very clear view of the suspects.
Clearly, none of the Tippit witnesses should be relied upon for a description. We are on firmer footing however, with timing, which places the shooting at no later than 1:08 but probably prior. This alone rules Oswald out.
