I find it fascinating that if he hadn't have tugged on Oswalds belt its very likely Oswald would've lived and the conspiracy rumours would have been quashed quite quickly.

I know I will regret asking but what possible beef could you have with Leavelle?  Do you think he was involved in the frame up?  If so, in what capacity?  Maybe painting red circles on the TSBD windows and touching his nose as a double secret signal to LBJ to duck?

I have the same "beef" with Leavelle that I have with all who framed a poor hapless dupe ......    For your information that railroading of a sucker was very common in Dallas back in the day.....  Henry Wade sent many innocent hapless dupes to prison .

“I had about 15-20 minutes with Oswald. I didn’t say a word about the President because I had no idea he was involved in that. All I was talking to him about was Officer Tippit’s murder.”

Mr. Stern. He engaged in banter with you and police officials?

Mr. Leavelle. Not with me because I didn't have occasion to question him,
but he did always smile and never hesitated for an answer, always had an answer.



Hmmmm???   Leavelle says he talked to Lee Oswald for about 15 or 20 minutes ......  But..... "I didn't have occasion to question him" .

I believe Leavelle was confused and desperate to confuse others.....

His account of his participation in the investigation of the murders of JFK and Tippit changed over time.

He either lied to the WC and in the contemporaneous reports he produced or he embellished (lied) stories in later years when he became

a minor celebrity, especially to his LNer fan boys.

His exaggerations are in favor of the LN did it official narrative

What was Leavelle's role in the frame up?  Other than expressing his opinion, based on the overwhelming evidence, that Oswald was guilty, he doesn't seem to have done much other than to be presented when your hero was shot.

Try to focus.  You have suggested that Leavelle was involved in the frame up.  So what his role?  I'm not aware of anything Leavelle did that would have advanced the case against Oswald.  But perhaps you can enlighten us.
