Why do some people believe in conspiracy theories?

[Jerry Freeman]

Citing ... "due to adverse publicity from the press"  -charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped. This was a conspiracy of the third kind. There are those who will say that the city of Chicago and the media owes him an apology. Goes to show you...green backs matter. https://www.npr.org/2019/03/26/706857658/prosecutors-drop-all-charges-against-empire-actor-jussie-smollett

Sounds a whole lot like Dishonest John is alleging that Oswald's prints were planted on the rifle.  That is "faked" evidence since he won't apparently ever acknowledge the implications.

How do you reconcile the FBI examination of the rifle on 11/23/63 and not finding even a trace of a print and Day producing an index card with a print on it a week later?

Even worse; it's only an assumption that Oswald wore the same shirt he was arrested in at the TSBD that morning.

Marina testified that she thinks that was the shirt he wore that morning. Bledsoe testified it was the same shirt.

The image of the funny-looking guy not resisting arrest outside the TT shows the same color shirt (lightened by the sunshine)

Ah.. the propaganda troll strikes again. Sorry... not interested in fairytales and weak incredible explanations.

This is the shirt Mr Oswald wore to work the morning of 11/22/63:

You think a lot of things, don't you John

So do you

A goodly number of these 'couldn't-be-dismissed/may-or-may nots' exist and worthy of consideration whether detractors like it or not.

Care to name one?

In regards the partial, I have no information as to when the investigators decided to check for prints on the rifle in it's broken-down state.

Well, the FBI checked with 24 hours after the murder and found no prints

Just named the rifle CBD shirt fibers, Sherlock
The partial came off with the lift
