From FAQ by John Locke

9.1.4 Oswald had an alibi.

False. Oswald has no alibi for the time of the shooting. He was seen by fellow employees approximately thirty minutes before the shooting; and in the second floor lunchroom by the TSBD supervisor and a cop approximately ninety seconds after the shooting. In the late seventies, a former TSBD employee (Carolyn Arnold) told author Anthony Summers that she had seen Oswald fifteen minutes before the shooting, but her fellow employees dispute her account.

9.1.5 Oswald could not have escaped from the sixth floor in time.

False. The TSBD is 30x30 yards square. A cop approximated he saw Oswald in the second floor lunchroom ninety seconds after the shooting. Considering that a reasonably fit young man like Oswald can run at least 400 yards in ninety seconds, there is no reason to believe he couldn't have gone from the sixth to the second floor in that time and still had time to conceal the gun behind boxes. At any rate, the route was timed and verified as possible.

Harold Weisberg, Case Open, Carroll & Graf, 1994, pages 123-124:

Ignoring the flummery of all these reconstructions and the obvious errors, the Commission itself proved that the unhurried assassin would have required a minute and 14 seconds. And the policeman at a "kind of trot" rather than a fast run would have required only a mnute and 15 seconds less than the time-span of the shots, or at least four seconds less time. If things happened as the Report alleges, Baker would have been at the lunchroom before Oswald. And with baker's gun in his belly, Oswald, having just killed the President, was "calm and collected".
