Mrs. Markham stated that she only finished the 8th grade, and it seems likely from reading all of her testimony that she lacked well-developed communication and abstract reasoning skills, had a rather limited perspective on life, might have been easily manipulated, and was possibly of below-average intelligence. Evidently you don't mind making fun of someone like that, which is unsurprising, considering your track record of insults and reckless accusations against all sorts of people connected with JFK's assassination.

More to the point, you have failed to explain how the apparent inconsistencies in Mrs. Markham's testimony are evidence of any kind of a conspiracy. You are simply falling back on the standard conspiracist line: "something is wrong--therefore I am right."

My point is that Markham, as the WC's "star" witness in the Tippit shooting, was an utterly unreliable witness. To wit, she is the only witness who claimed to have seen Oswald actually shoot Tippit. But her testimony conflicted with other witnesses - she said she was the only bystander for 20 minutes, and said she talked to Tippit until he was placed in the ambulance. Other witnesses said they were at the scene - and that is why they said they saw the shooter leaving the area immediately afterwards. The others also said Tippit had died basically after being shot - certainly not alive and talking for 20 minutes afterwards.

I didn't say Markham's unfounded and contradictory testimony proved there was a conspiracy. But it takes away the prime witness to the Tippit shooting as being even remotely reliable evidence against Oswald.
