Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[Bill Brown]

It is relevant and it's something that you cannot just dismiss or wish away. It has to be dealt with. How would you do so in front of a jury? Why would Oswald deny that he carried a long package to work that morning and deny that he told Frazier that it was curtain rods?

Tim, you're talking to Tony Fratini who has a theory about the bag... and if his theory is true, then Linnie Mae Randle and Buell Frazier were flat out lying when they said they saw Oswald carrying some sort of bag that morning.

Frazier and Randle... Lying.

Oswald... Not Lying.

Pathetic, in my opinion.

[Bill Brown]

She estimated the bag to be 27 inches long, which was too short to hold the alleged murder weapon.

Now, if you would have said it this way in the first place, we wouldn't be talking about it right now.  But, that is not what you said originally.

This is a classic example of Iacoletti, using shady defense lawyer tactics, showing that he is willing to jump through any hoop to get a double murderer off the hook.

One minute, we cannot be sure that Oswald was even aware that the President had been shot at... and then, in the next minute, Oswald possibly left work early because he didn't believe there was going to be any more work that day because the President had been shot at.

Nice work, Sean Kneringer.

So Oswald knows nothing about the shooting, simply walks out of the building, sees the screaming and yelling and chaos all around, and just decides, "I think I'll go to a movie."

Even shady lawyers wouldn't try to  sell that one.

Desperate conspiracy believers? Sure, but not defense lawyers.

"A" bag is very different from a PARTICULAR bag as the WC claimed. Your claim that the WC's UNSUPPORTED claim of what type of bag was used is accurate is what is "pathetic."

Exactly right. Tony's theory being correct would not automatically mean that Frazier and Randle lied, as Brown falsely claims. It would just mean that Frazier and Randle saw Oswald carry a different bag, which is basically what they implicitely have been saying all along, as neither was able to identify CE 142 as the bag they had seen Oswald carry.

It's no use Richard. If Oswald were alive today and said "I did it", most of the people on here would jump up and down with their hair on fire and call him a liar and ask him, "do you have any evidence to prove it!" Truly fascinating.

That's right.  A perfect example of that is Sirhan Sirhan admitted, in a filmed interview, that he shot Bobby Kennedy... even going as far as explaining his motive for doing so.  Yet, some conspiracy nuts, many who are members of this forum, totally ignore that interview.

[Bill Brown]

LOL, they didn't have to show any just cause to search, beat up, and arrest a guy in a theater for murder based on looking funny to a shoe salesman.

Oswald was beat up and arrested for punching a police officer, regardless of what the erroneous arrest report says.  Live with it.
