LHO's shirt

[Martin Weidmann]

Why is not irrelevant since it was suggested that the FBI had a problem with the evidence that they needed to correct (i.e. the claim that Oswald had on a different shirt than the arrest shirt when he assassinated JFK).  It's the "why" that sets this conspiracy fantasy in motion about convincing a witness to falsely testify about the shirt.  But the FBI had no such problem.  Why?  LOL.  Nothing in the "photos" or films precludes Oswald from having worn the arrest shirt at the time of the assassination.  BUT even if he didn't wear that shirt when assassinating JFK, there is nothing to preclude the explanation that fibers from Oswald's shirt could have got on his rifle on some prior occasion.  What is so difficult to understand about that?  The FBI had no problem with the fiber evidence that needed fixing by falsifying witness testimony.

BUT even if he didn't wear that shirt when assassinating JFK, there is nothing to preclude the explanation that fibers from Oswald's shirt could have got on his rifle on some prior occasion. 

There is no such thing as "fibers from Oswald's shirt".

The FBI expert could only say that the fibers are similar to those of Oswald's shirt, not that they came from his shirt!

Good grief.

Yeah, Scoggins:

"The driver, William W. Scoggins, had seen the slaying and was now crouched behind his cab on the street side. As the gunman cut through the shrubbery on the lawn, Scoggins looked up and saw the man approximately 12 feet away. In his hand was a pistol and he muttered words which sounded to Scoggins like "poor dumb cop" or "poor damn cop."

Scoggins was shown a line up of photos and he was asked to pick out the man that had ran past his cab......

Mr. SCOGGINS. I don't remember, but after I got through looking at them and everything, and I says, I told them one of these two pictures is him, out of this group he showed me, and the one that was actually him looked like an older man than he was to me. Of course, I am not too much on identifying pictures. It wasn't a full shot of him, you know, and then he told me the other one was Oswald.

Good grief.

Actual facts destroy your little stories every time.

You are not getting away with misrepresenting the evidence.

You've missed my point

It's not my story.   You need to coordinate with your fellow CTer nuts.  It is their story that the FBI needed to coerce a witness into confirming that Oswald wore the arrest shirt because of the fibers found on the rifle.  If those fibers don't have evidentiary value or link Oswald to the shirt, it begs the question why that evidence would need to be faked.

Yes it is... You made out of "fibers that are similar to those of Oswald's (arrest) shirt", which is a rather meaningless observation since most shirts are made from similar fibers, into "fibers from Oswald's shirt", which is simply a lie

It is their story that the FBI needed to coerce a witness into confirming that Oswald wore the arrest shirt because of the fibers found on the rifle.

You mean Bledsoe?.... Name me one other witness in any case where that FBI actually brought a piece of evidence to their home prior to their testimony?

Of course that FBI had a problem. They had only tested Oswald's arrest shirt (and no other) and had claimed that the fibers found on the rifle were similar, only to then find out that Oswald possibly wasn't even wearing the arrest shirt in the morning after all.

If those fibers don't have evidentiary value or link Oswald to the shirt, it begs the question why that evidence would need to be faked.

What evidence was faked?
