Who in their right mind would choose Oswald as a Patsy?

[Joe Mannix]

He was a perfect patsy. Former defector to USSR. Supposedly sought visa to Cuba. Had he been killed, the "story" would've been that he was a Soviet or Cuban agent named Alek Hidell who had assumed the identity of a former marine from Louisiana and killed JFK.

[Michael Carney]

Are you aware that the revolver that was used to kill Tippit was NOT a Smith and Wesson?     Virtually all of the witnesses who saw the killer walking away with the gun said that he extracted ONE SPENT SHELL AT A TIME...... A Smith & Wesson ejects all of the spent shells at once.....They are not removed one at a time.

I didn't mention what kind of gun it was but I did read that it looks like Tippit's killer extracted one shell at a time
