Buell W.Frazier saw Oswald wearing a GRAY jacket that Friday morning when Oswald was riding in the car. NOT a BLUE jacket.

And just how do you know that?

If Oswald left the TSBD wearing only his brown shirt , such that Bledsoe saw that shirt on Oswald when he was on McWatters bus, then the GRAY jacket must be the one that was left at the TSBD.

Obviously, it wasn't because his gray jacket was found along the path he fled the scene.
Quote

Oswald entered his boarding house and Earlene Roberts described him as wearing a shirt with sleeves and she didn’t remember the color. So Oswald was NOT wearing a jacket when he entered the house.

That is almost certainly true. If he didn't have it on the bus, it's hard to imagine how he could have had it when Roberts first saw him.[/quote]


Earlene Roberts saw Oswald leave the house wearing a zip up jacket which she thought was DARKER than the light GRAY jacket. [/quote]

The key word is "thought". There is no reason for her to have paid attention to the shade of jacket Oswald was wearing.

Oswald’s light GRAY jacket was left at the TSBD.

No, it wasn't.

He went home wearing a brown shirt. Oswald only had 2 jackets. He therefore could  only have been wearing the  BLUE zip up jacket when he left the boarding house.

Faulty premises lead to faulty conclusions as you have just demonstrated.

So how does Oswald’s GRAY jacket that was left in the TSBD find its way to a parking lot  under a car if Oswald left the TSBD wearing only the brown shirt with the hole in the sleeve?

You got off on the wrong foot when you started with the premise that Oswald wore his light gray jacket to work that morning.

How does Oswald BLUE jacket which he was wearing when he left the boarding house, wind up being lost for a month and then
Found in the Domino room a month after the JFKA?

Tell us who was looking for that blue jacket.

Do LNs give more weight to the accounts of An unknown man  pointing out a light GRAY jacket ( originally reported as “white), under a car and an unknown person finding  a BLUE jacket in the Domino room than they do to the accounts of  Buell W. Frazier and Earlene Roberts?

LNs give weight to witnesses who can be corroborated. Frazier's statement is uncorroborated. Neither is Roberts recollection the jacket she saw was darker.

How do to solve this BLUE vs GRAY jacket anomaly? Shall we just say that Frazier and Roberts were just not paying much attention, therefore Oswald was really wearing the BLUE jacket that Friday morning?

Why the hell would they be paying attention to what color jacket they saw Oswald was wearing. Do you think that's something people usually take notice of?

We will have discount McWatters and Whaley as well as they both see a jacket, albeit McWatters isn’t sure it was Oswald and Whaley waffles a if it was blue if it was gray.

Yes, they were indicating uncertainty about what Oswald was wearing. How many passengers do you think McWatters and Whaley gave rides to that day. Do you think they are going to remember what every passenger they picked up was wearing? It's absurd.
Quote

They must be discounted if Bledsoe saw Oswald wearing just his brown shirt with a hole in the sleeve.

Yes they should because Bledsoe was corroborated. Oswald was wearing a shirt with a hole in the sleeve when arrested.[quoe]

Okay, so we will just stick with Roberts seeing  Oswald  zipping up a jacket and Brewer seeing  Oswald not wearing any jacket Then add witnesses that saw Oswald’s face looking thru their fingers or thru their screen door or as he ran away. And the wallet with the fake ID found at the scene… er.. wait that was another wallet. Oh well .. THE SHELLS … THATs the key.. Oswald kept some in his pants pockets or shirt pocket for several hours along with his wallet and his fake ID. THAT is was what really seals the deal don’t you think?

CTs have a really problem with focusing on what is important. It is not important what witnesses think they saw Oswald wearing at any given time. What is important is that when Oswald was arrested in the Texas Theater, he had in his possession the Tippit murder weapon and the same two makes of bullets recovered from Tippit's body. It is also important that he tried to shoot one of the arresting officers and almost succeeded.
