Why Was Oswald Killed?

[Jerry Freeman]

"They" also had no idea if he had already talked after nearly 48 hours in custody.

This has been mentioned several times before and I have asked before...if Oswald didn't know anything...what was he supposed to talk about? 

[Michael Carney]

I think he could have possibly known that Marcello and others pulled off the assassination. It was certainly known afterwards on the street that Marcello's people pulled it off. There is a fair amount of information about the New Orleans underworld in the book "Mr New Orleans" about a pimp called Frenchy Brouillette. It's a very fun read.

An ideal patsy must [out of necessity] know as little as possible about an "operation".

[Michael Carney]

I agree but he did know he was a patsy because he said so. I also think he knew that Marcello set him up but their is no way Oswald would have crossed him.

He must have known, he was heading straight to Jack Rubys house when he encountered Tippit. When he was blocked from continuing his journey, he must have known something was up.

I had never heard that Oswald was going to Ruby's house. Interesting if he was, it just supported the next step in the process that Ruby was supposed to kill Oswald after the assassination.

The path the Warren Commission drew from Oswalds house at 1026 North Beckley avenue to the Tippit murder site , if you extend their line, it goes straight to Jack Rubys house.

Bit of a coincidence.
