Was Lee Oswald questioned about the murder of JD Tippit?

[Walt Cakebread]

I'm confused about the CTer narrative on the interrogation.  They often suggest it can't be relied upon because there was no tape etc.  If the DPD were just making all the interrogation evidence up to suit their purpose of framing Oswald, why does it matter what they asked or didn't ask him?  It's bizarre to suggest they didn't ask him something in the interrogation because of a fear of his response while suggesting the DPD just made up whatever suited their purposes.

Psssst..... Mr "Smith" there were other men in the interrogation room, (Men who Fritz could not control) Fritz wasn't so crazy as to ask a question that might draw an answer that he didn't want recorded....  A question like:...Tell me about the bus ride to the theater Lee....    Was there anybody on that bus that you knew, a former neighbor perhaps?

What if Lee had answered;     Well yes as a matter of fact Mrs Jones was on the bus, I know her because she was a neighbor  who used to talk to Marina and Junie.....

It seems strange that Lee Oswald was officially arrested for the murder of DPD officer JD Tippit, But as near as I can tell he wasn't interrogated extensively for that crime.   

Captain Fritz knew that Lee had left the rooming house at about 1:03 pm, and he knew that Helen Markham had sworn that she had witnessed the murder of officer Tippit at 1:06. And there's no way to deny that Fritz had this information while he was interrogating Lee Oswald.....and yet I don't recall that Fritz asked him anything about his whereabouts from 1:03 until 1:15 .    ?

Perhaps it was because several people had identified LHO as either the murderer of Tippit, or fleeing the Tippit murder scene, or acting suspiciously in front of the nearby shoe store, or entering the Texas Theater without paying. Fritz probably already believed he had enough information about his whereabouts during that time period. There were plenty of other questions Fritz wanted to ask. Why waste time asking about something that was apparently already answered?

Oh good.  So we can rely on the answers given during the interrogation and forget about all those objections CTers have raised because it was not taped or transcribed.

Yes indeed why waste time when a man's life is at stake.....  We don't need to listen to what he has to say....   Get a rope.

No one anticipated what Jack Ruby did. If that hadn’t happened, and LHO had had time to lawyer-up, we would have heard all his lies before he was sent to the electric chair.

What is it that prevents you from seeing the truth??   None is so blind as he who will not open his eyes and see.....

I used to believe that there just had to be a conspiracy. Then I suspended that belief long enough to take a fresh look at the case with an open mind. And after doing so, I was able to see that my original belief was in error. Your mileage may vary. If you want to continue to believe in a conspiracy, that is your prerogative.
