Maybe I am missing something, but if it was Yoko, why then didn`t the doorman Joe tell the police about it, as he witnessed the whole scene. It seems he said everything: who was where, on which side, who went first who followed, but not the most important fact - who fired.
Do you think Yoko took him into her confidence? This is impossible. She is a clever woman.
What happened might have been that Chapman stepped behind John when John passed him and fired. And Yoko might have already overtaken John, because John stopped to ask Chapman what he needed from him more, and that he had given his autograph to him in the morning. So - John stopped to say a few words to Chapman and Yoko passed them, John followed right after and Chapman looking at John`s back fired.
Hi Jane
No John did not stop to speak to Chapman according to the police statements and all of them verified that part even in Court!!!!. This would mean that John was still ahead of Yoko at this point. I suspect Yoko and the Doorman were involved in the planning of the hit, but lo and behold, the stories did change and some of it do not match on some parts of their statements. Why the police did not see this behooves me and they should have investigated this incident a whole lot deeper.
Come on, no one heard shots especially multi shots being fired? That is unreal especially the desk person who was on duty that night. Even I being a ordinary person or even Joost here would really wonder and ask around how come? Whats going on would probably be my next question. With Chapman just sitting out in the curb also raises up another spiffy question. The statements itself is also spiffy to make a person do a double check.
Yes Yoko is a very clever woman. I also do admit she is extremely very clever, and (suspiciously) might have pulled off a perfect situation. Women do kill their spouses in a very sneaky way, and some go thru great lengths to avoid detection. Yoko at that time was facing a possible Divorce from John because he indicated it a few times and told others he wanted out of the marriage. No one cannot outrightly name the person who did the killing on a website as one can be sued to perdition.
I suspect Yoko is the person who had the true motive, and the Doorman was paid handsomely because after this he left that job. He disappeared after this too. A co-incidence here or not. MY ALLEGED SCENARIO> I don't think Joe Perdomo fired the shots but I do think he provided Yoko with the means (a gun with a silencer), and she used that one, and emptied the magazine, then ran to the desk person to say John was shot, and while he was busy making that phone call, Yoko went back to Joe gave it to him and he switched the weapons around in a spiff and he in the meantime gave the backup gun to Chapman and told him to sit outside. Yoko gets back to the deskclerk area after handing Joe the weapon. During this brief chaos John then staggers up to the stairs and collapses next to the Desk Clerk area just in front of the stairs. Joe had a clean backup gun with no prints on it and since he wore
gloves it worked perfectly and once Chapman had it, bingo his prints are now on the gun. In the meantime this other backup gun was previously fired so the smell would still be the same and being the same caliber. Has to be otherwise the Police would have known the difference. Joe took this weapon with the silencer and hid it quickly before the police came or possibly had another person take it out of there to keep the situation clean before they came and arrived. It was reported that there was another person around the scene at that time. A silencer skews up the bullets machine line marks when it leaves the chamber. Thus ruining any chance on the ballistic tests. Each barrel that is machined is different and hence its the fingerprint to trace to the weapon that was used when they do ballistic tests.
What I just said here is a very plausible scenario and this can be done in a matter of seconds. All Joe has to do is stand there and let Yoko do the running etc, and switch the weapons around, and he takes care of that and its done. Chapman gets the blame because now his fingerprints are on the backup gun which is what the police have today.
Consider this similar to the infamous case in Los Angeles by a person named O.J. Simpson!!!!!!
This is what Yoko stood to lose had she been divorced from John. Its quite substantial to say the least, and I think Joost would agree here too.
Millions in the Bank, all the rights to his music and albums, all the rights to his inheiritance USA and England, and all the previous contracts she signed with him gets null and voided!!!!!! All she would get is paternity to take care of her kids, if she is awarded them, and some maintenance for herself. Not to mention of the Jap culture of losing face among her people. I also think immigrations came into play too but not sure. There might be more too that I am not aware of today.
Joe on the other hand was a former CIA agent involved with the Cuban situation, and with extensive training in firing weapons, and he would never have to use more than one shot to kill someone. He only got involved in this just for the money and the amount suited him just fine. In a sense he provided the primary logistics for Yoko so she not get the blame. As it turns out Chapman just happen to be there which was perfect for them to execute their plan at that moment of time.
Now understand this. There is a picture of him getting an autograph from John who put it into his book called the Catcher in the Rye from the camera dicks who were following John, and this took place earlier in the day time. So ask yourself why he wasn't shot at that time ehhhhh. Also Chapman was not that familiar of New York. He lived in Hawaii!!!!! So I doubt very much if he even had any street connections with gang members to obtain any weapons, as the weapon that was used to kill John turned out to be stolen!!!!!!!!! from the serial numbers and they have it at the evidence room secured someplace.
Now you should begin to see the real picture and scenario of just what really happened.
