No recordings of interrogation of Oswald?  (Read 2593 times)

Nothing but a couple pages of sloppy notes by J.W. Fritz? It seems so ridiculous that there would be no recordings (audio or video) of the interrogation of the prime suspect in the the biggest murder case of the 20th century. Thoughts?

You can say twentieth century but at the time it was the just the biggest crime in the first 2/3 of the twentieth century and it was bing handled locally by a southern style system , this was more likely the way they did business, so business as usual for Fritz. If it happened in 83 I would be a little surprised but not in 63.

LN; So how did it happen then ?

CT; I don't know, I only know that it didn't happen the way the evidence says.

LN;  We should not use evidence in this case ?

CT; Correct.

Fritz said in his Warren Commission testimony that the Dallas Police Department (at east Fritz' Homicide office) simply did not have tape recorders.  He said, therefore, that it was normal to not tape record interrogation sessions with a suspect.

It was not a federal crime.

What we are asked to believe is that for 2 days, nobody could find a tape recorder in the entire country. And that for 2 whole days none of the dozen or so stenographers employeed at the Dallas Police Department were available. Yeah right!

Fritz would have though he had Oswald "cold" on the Tippitt killing.
Similarly, more than enough physical evidence to "convict" in the murder of John F. Kennedy.

Oswald was interrogated for two reasons, neither of which made a tape recording necessary or desirable:

(1.) To coerce a confession (from some sort of slip-up) by Oswald. This would be to gain absolute confirmation that the cops were "right" in their conclusions. If we are to believe the interrogators - Oswald (during questioning on the morning of 24 Nov. 1963) placed himself of "an upper floor" of the TSBD at the time of the assassination. 

(2.) To gain information.  The DPD gave Buell Frazier a terribly hard time on the evening of 22 November 1963 and morning of 23 November 1963.
They said that Oswald had confessed and implicated him (Frazier) in the assassination. Standard police "probing" technique in the early sixties.

I don't doubt the Dallas cops did not want to tape record Oswald. As Mark has pointed out - that's the way things were done in those days. It does not render Oswald innocent.

The Dallas Police performed very badly is the point. They have the most important prisoner in the world in their custody, he's just killed the president, its an international incident and for all anyone knows there could be other conspirators out there. To not get a proper record of what he said is terrible.

More that the Dallas police were sloppy, incompetent and corrupt. They weren't called the Keystone cops for notning.
