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

[Rob Caprio]

That's exactly the mantra Iacoletti adopts when discussing the overwhelming evidence against Oswald in the deaths of Kennedy and Tippit.

This is proof that one can put the evidence right in front of Iacoletti and he will still deny what it proves.  He is wrong on all accounts.

Perhaps he is going to claim that your image is doctored or faked, like he does about pretty much every single piece of evidence presented against Saint Lee of the Oswalds.

Boy, that is some pretty strong Koolade that you are drinking. You're totally delusional.

[Rob Caprio]

Precisely, that's why I didn't bother elaborating, Iacoletti was caught with his pants down and took up his familiar battle position, the sure sign of a man who has run out of ideas.

How did you come by that screen shot?

[John Iacoletti]

Boy, that is some pretty strong Koolade that you are drinking. You're totally delusional.

Indeed.

Bill, quote me ever saying that pretty much every single piece of evidence presented against Oswald is doctored or fake.

Your problem is that you actually believe that the evidence there is actually shows that Oswald killed JFK.

Which, of course, he just did.  Thereby implying that John M faked the info contained in his post.  How about Martin just clear it up for us?

Reasons why conspirator(s) put Oswald before the camera at midnight:

1. Calm the public and start convincing them that Oswald was the lone shooter and there was no conspiracy.

2. Make use of Oswald's disheveled appearance and his blackened eye and cut to reinforce the effect of no.1

3. Hope that Oswald would make  some incriminating statement.


4. Show good faith that the pulbic and the press were given opportunity to see and ask quesionts of the suspect so that later, when he gets shot dead, it will be easier to explain that shooting as another non conspiratorial shooting by a lone crazy man, Jack Ruby.

[Colin Crow]

From Ruby's WC testimony.......

This is referring to the night of the assassination.

"I left the club--I left the synagogue and I drove by the Bali-Hai Restaurant. I noticed they were open. I took recognition of that. I drove by another club called the Gay Nineties, and they were closed.
 And I made it my business to drive down Preston Road. In my mind suddenly it mulled over me that the police department was working overtime. And this is the craziest thing that ever happened in a person's life. I have always been very close to the police department, I don't know why.
 I felt I have always abided by the law--a few little infractions, but not serious--and I felt we have one of the greatest police forces in the world here, and I have always been close to them, and I visited in the office. And over the radio I heard they were working overtime.
 I stopped at the delicatessen called Phil's on Oak Lawn Avenue, and suddenly I decided--I told the clerk there I wanted him to make me some real good sandwiches, about 10 or 12, and he had already started on the sandwiches and I got on the phone.
I called an officer by the name of Sims and I said, "Sims, I hear you guys are working," and so on. I said, "I want to bring some sandwiches." And he said, "Jack, we wound up our work already. We wound up what we were doing. We are finished what we were doing. I will tell the boys about your thoughtfulness, and I will thank them for you.""

Is this Detective Richard Sims from Homicide? If so, why was he not asked about this conversation during his WC testimony?

Point #3 , Zeon.
Interview without representation.
I still don't buy that the press knew Lee was being charged with the murder of the president , before the accused himself knew.
