Oswald's Light-Colored Jacket

[Bill Brown]

Of course you have since your points require absolutely NO supporting evidence at all.

The jacket found was WHITE. Live with it.

Why did Oswald ditch his jacket?  Whether it was white, gray, black, bright yellow or lime green, why take it off and discard it?

[Gary Craig]

Yes, I know... based on his "tapered hairline".  Right?  LOL


Markham got just as good a look at the murderer as did Bneavides.

Scoggins, Callaway and Guinyard got just as good a look at the man running from the scene with a gun in his hands as did Benavides.

Benavides never said that the murderer was not Oswald.


But, there is not even one piece of exculpatory evidence in the case of Tippit's murder by Oswald.

If you choose, name any evidence which you feel is exculpatory and we can discuss it.


True.  Simply ditching a jacket doesn't automatically mean one is guilty of killing a police officer.

Oswald was seen by at least eight witnesses running from the scene with a gun in his hands and wearing a jacket.  Can you explain why Oswald would ditch his jacket?


This argument is almost almost as lame as the tapered hairline argument.

The jacket was a size medium.  Oswald was a size small.  God forbid (with apologies to John Iacoletti) a small man should ever wear a medium sized jacket.

"The jacket was a size medium.  Oswald was a size small.  God forbid (with apologies to John Iacoletti) a small man should ever wear a medium sized jacket."

So which of the witnesses described Tippit"s murderer wearing an oversized jacket?

Oversized?  From small to medium?  LOL

Oversized?  From small to medium?  LOL

I'll take that as none.

Not one alleged witness described Ozzie wearing a jacket that was too big.

Mr. BELIN - What did you see then?
Mr. BENAVIDES - I then pulled on up and I seen this officer standing by the door. The door was open to the car, and I was pretty close to him, and I seen Oswald, or the man that shot him, standing on the other side of the car.


Mr. BELIN. Did you see anything else as you heard her screaming?
Mrs. V DAVIS. Well, we saw Oswald. We didn't know it was Oswald at the time. We saw that boy cut across the lawn emptying the shells out of the gun.

Mr. BALL. Did you recognize anyone in that room?
Mrs. B DAVIS. Yes, sir. I recognized number 2.

Mr. CALLAWAY. No. And he said, "We want to be sure, we want to try to wrap him up real tight on killing this officer. We think he is the same one that shot the President. But if we can wrap him up tight on killing this officer, we have got him." So they brought four men in.
I stepped to the back of the room, so I could kind of see him from the same distance which I had seen him before. And when he came out, I knew him.
Mr. BALL. You mean he looked like the same man?
Mr. CALLAWAY. Yes.

Mr. BALL. Then what did you do?
Mr. GUINYARD. I was looking--trying to see and after I heard the third shot, then Oswald came through on Patton running---came right through the yard in front of the big white house---there's a big two-story white house---there's two of them there and he come through the one right on the corner of Patton.

Mr. LIEBELER. Let me show you some pictures that we have here. I show you a picture that has been marked Garner Exhibit No. 1 and ask you if that is the man that you saw going down the street on the 22d of November as you have already told us.
Mr.REYNOLDS. Yes.


Mr. BELIN. Four? Did any one of the people look anything like strike that. Did you identify anyone in the lineup?
Mr. SCOGGINS. I identified the one we are talking about, Oswald. I identified him.


RUSSELL positively identified a photograph of LEE HARVEY OSWALD, New Orleans Police Department # 112723, taken August 9, 1963, as being identical with the individual he had observed at the scene of the shooting of Dallas Police Officer J.D. TIPPIT on the afternoon of November 22, 1963, at Dallas, Texas.
 

Mr. BALL. What about number two, what did you mean when you said number two?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Number two was the man I saw shoot the policeman.

But John, the jacket was a Medium, not a Small.  LOL

Of course you have since your points require absolutely NO supporting evidence at all.

The jacket found was WHITE. Live with it.

It was a BRIGHT and SUNNY day and the following comparison is proof positive that the jacket appears much much lighter under BRIGHT and SUNNY conditions, so your evidence which relies on a personal interpretation of white under difficult lighting conditions is absolutely laughable!



And besides all that, the Jacket was initialed and is official evidence.
