The man closest to the shooting of Officer J.D. Tippit (JDT) was Domingo Benavides and he never identified Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) as the shooter.
Mr. BELIN - Then what happened? Did the officers ever get in touch with you?
Mr. BENAVIDES - Later on that evening, about 4 o'clock, there was two officers came by and asked for me, Mr. Callaway asked me---I had told them that I had seen the officer, and the reporters were there and I was trying to hide from the reporters because they will just bother you all the time. Then I found out that they thought this was the guy that killed the President. At the time I didn't know the President was dead or he had been shot.
I was just trying to hide from the reporters and everything, and these two officers came around and asked me if I'd seen him, and I told him yes, and told them what I had seen, and they asked me if I could identify him, and I said I don't think I could. At this time I was sure, I wasn't sure that I could or not. I wasn't going to say I could identify and go down and couldn't have. (Benavides, Vol. VI, pp. 451-452)
Based on this they didn't bother to take the man closest to the shooting to the police station to identify the alleged killer!
Mr. BELIN - Did he ever take you to the police station and ask you if you could identify him?
Mr. BENAVIDES – No; they didn't. (Benavides, Vol. VI, p. 452)
Some police work, huh? He said something else very interesting in the testimony as well. He was describing how he retrieved the two shells and he described them for us.
Mr. BELIN - Did you later go back in that area and try and find the shells?
Mr. BENAVIDES - Yes. Well, right after that I went back and I knew exactly where they was at, and I went over and picked up one in my hand, not thinking and I dropped it, that maybe they want fingerprints off it, so I took out an empty pack of cigarettes I had and picked them up with a little stick and put them in this cigarette package; a chrome looking shell.
Mr. BELIN - A chrome looking shell?
Mr. BENAVIDES - Yes, sir. (Benavides, Vol. VI, pp. 449-450)
He said the shell was a CHROME LOOKING SHELL! How can this be when the Warren Commission (WC) said that the shells in evidence are COPPER COATED? (WCR, p. 559)
Remember all the reports that listed the bullet retrieved at General Edwin Walker’s house as "steel-jacketed?" It seems we have the same thing going on here as well. What did Belin do after this bombshell was given? Here is next question!
Mr. BELIN - About how long did it take you to locate the shells once you stared looking for them?
Mr. BENAVIDES - Just a minute. I mean not very long at all. Just walked directly to them. (Benavides, Vol. VI, pp. 449-450)
He TOTALLY ignored it and with no cross-examination it got buried in the sands of history!
Can anyone who believes that LHO shot JDT explain this for us? And please save the lame comment of he was "confused" as anyone can tell the difference between chrome and copper!
