Why would the conspirators let Oswald have a midnight press conference?

[Rob Caprio]

Imo Oswald was given a midnight press conference because nobody besides Oswald had anything to hide.

Or...because the press demanded to speak with him, and to deny this would have looked suspicious to them and the American people.

These are the same folks who just complained about civil discourse on the forum.  LOL.  It's interesting that CTers argue that the evidence against Oswald is suspect but then here argue the DPD - who found and controlled that evidence - are not the folks they are suggesting were involved in the conspiracy.  So I guess they agree the bag was discovered on the 6th floor, Oswald's prints were on the rifle etc since that is all that evidence was obtained by the DPD who controlled Oswald's movements while under arrest and had the discretion not to allow him to speak to the press.  Good to know.

And here is Richard, completely going of the rails as usual.

He fully understands that it is insane to argue that an entire police department is part of a conspiracy, but it seems he needs to exaggerate and paint with a wide brush to somehow make a point.

And thus Richard's entire argument is (as usual) a strawman and his "conclusions" are just as pathetic as his "reasoning".

Seriously?, The press demand a lot of things and always have and always will, but that doesn't mean that they should have been allowed a press conference and let's be frank they shouldn't have been in the corridors where Oswald was being transported in the first place. The Dallas Police who according to legend has the most to hide but the fact that they didn't give a sh*t about what Oswald said speaks volumes.

Over the years there have been a lot of people arrested for famous crimes and for someone who was supposed to be a patsy giving this murderer this much exposure at this point in proceedings is unheard of in my experiences.

It was the only way to parade LHO around so that someone would kill him and as J. Edgar Hoover would say . We got our man and that should close this case ! Not so fast there , J. Edgar !!!!!!

Great civil discourse as usual.  Those of us who disagree with you are "idiots," "insane," and "going off the rails."  This one is pretty simple.  It would seemingly take someone of influence at the DPD to ensure the evidence was controlled and manipulated as many of your kindred have suggested over and over and over again.  In fact, many of the top DPD officials are routinely named as being involved in the plot for that very reason.  The inconsistency of your argument is that these same officials - who had the authority to control more complex tasks - couldn't call off the press conference.  They could frame Oswald, cover up the crime. and somehow recruit Ruby to kill Oswald, but they couldn't figure out how to keep Oswald from the press.  LOL.

Chief Curry went out of his way to accommodate the press for the transfer so this supports my statement. LHO had to be shown to alleviate suspicions of police brutality and injustice.

Yep, parading Saint Oz around so that Ruby could whack him was the ONLY way to get rid of the patsy runt.

The real assassins were dumb enough to allow their innocent patsy to escape and flee the depository, so now the mission to eliminate Saint Oz fell to the DPD conspirators and Jack Ruby.

Dumbass cops missed their chance in the Texas Theater.

And of course Saint Oz couldn't have slashed his wrists or hung himself while in custody.

Yep, Saint Oz could have only been silenced AFTER parading him around during interrogation and AFTER a press conference.

Brilliantly executed plan to assassinate JFK and frame Saint Patsy with the exception of allowing Oz to escape the scene of the crime, survive arrest, and appear at a press conference.

Makes perfect sense.
