Oswald's Light-Colored Jacket

[Martin Weidmann]

You used to be good at this ? like five years ago.

Now you're flat on your face again.

Is this a first from Nut Camp: transcript manipulated?

Yes indeed. Brown is slipping... must be getting old!

Earlier I said that, if Oswald had killed Kennedy, it would IMO have made far more sense from him to try to leave town as quickly as possible, by for instance, taking a long distance bus. On the other hand, it would IMO have made no sense at all for him to go home, change his clothes and take a walk trough Oak Cliff...

Silly old Brown then wanted to know if Oswald being at the Texas Theater made sense and the obvious answer is of course that, if he had killed Kennedy, it would not have made sense for him to hang around town and go an see a movie. But any sane person could have figured that out, just Brown couldn't.

Translation:  I can't make any sense whatsoever of Oswald being inside the theater in Oak Cliff, whether he was innocent or guilty.

So you are calling the DPD Sergeant who wrote about SS agents being at the Jefferson Branch Library in his report a liar?

Is this somehow supposed to be your proof that Secret Service agents were at the library?

[John Iacoletti]

He is the only person on planet Earth to be in the TSBD at the moment shots were fired who then crosses paths with the Tippit murder (the only murder of a DPD officer in many years) less than an hour later.  And he looks so much like the murderer that several witnesses ID him as the shooter.  And he happens to have a pistol when arrested with the same types of ammunition as the murderer. 

Isn't make believe fun?

[John Iacoletti]

Yes, he was out of the building within minutes and then he was out of the city 20 minutes later.

Uh, Oak Cliff is still in the city of Dallas.

[John Iacoletti]

As I said, the jacket is a rock solid piece of evidence. If a defence team were permitted to carry on about it , all they could do would be to do just as you have done; pound the table and yell like hell.

Would you care to explain what a jacket allegedly found in a parking lot (whether it was Oswald's or not) is rock solid evidence of?

[John Iacoletti]

You have no idea whether I'm manipulating the sentence or not.

Maybe the person responsible for the transcription accidentally manipulated the sentence by placing a period where a comma should be.

Regardless, Whaley is not saying that the police were railroading Oswald.

I happen to agree with your interpretation, but the statement is ambiguous and could be interpreted either way.
