Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Richard Smith]

Just plain mumbo jumbo. I'm getting a bit bored with your rants. Stop asking silly questions and telling me what I supposedly have claimed and start dealing with the actual evidence.

How do we know that the revolver now in evidence at the NA is the same revolver they took from Oswald?

A simple question, so try to answer it for once instead of posting another rant.


some alleged minor delay in logging it into evidence.

OK this is definitely going to make the all time favorite top 10 of oversimplifications... 

So you have no explanation whatsoever for why the DPD would switch the pistols, frame a person they knew was innocent, and let the guilty person who they obtained the pistol from go free?  It just could have happened.  Got it.

Given that CE163 was found in the TSBD and CE162 wasn't, it seems logical that the lighter jacket was the one Oswald put on @Beckley. Arriving in shirt sleeves nails it.

I posted the Brewer thing to Weidmann, not you, by the way.

Except for the fact that Frazier said that Oswald was wearing a light grey jacket (which can only be CE 162) to Irving on Thursday evening.

Except for the fact that Randle said that the jacket looked more like CE163. Except for the fact that Earlene said Oswald arrived @Beckley in shirt sleeves Friday afternoon.

Was JD Tippit an innocent cop or was he as corrupt as the rest of the Dallas Police Force ? Just a thought ...

Hey, I agree with this. The question is; Frazier said Oswald was wearing a light grey jacket (which can only be CE 162) to Irving on Thursday and returned to the TSBD on Friday morning wearing CE 163. So, how did the light grey jacket (CE 162) from Irving to the rooming house?

No evidence Tippit was corrupt. No evidence the rest of the DPD was corrupt either.

I just can't brush off Frazier's testimony. It's absolutely unequivocal. He is certain Oswald wore a light grey, long-sleeved zipper jacket that morning. There is no doubt about that.
Whaley describes him as wearing a jacket in his testimony as he does in this video [1:37]

In my mind Oswald is on the run at this point, he gets Whaley to drive past the rooming house so he can check the coast is clear and he double-times it back to the rooming house. The point of returning to the rooming house, as far as I can tell, is to pick up the revolver and get a change of clothes while he's there. He's in a big rush so I don't imagine it to be beyond the realms of possibility that he already had his jacket off as he entered the house. He rushes through the living room, gets the revolver (leaving the holster there), changes his shirt (making sure to take the transfer ticket with him), stuffs the revolver down his waistband and is putting his jacket back on as he rushes out of the house.

I originally posted the Brewer thing to Weidmann, not you, by the way. And did not find it 'strange' that he didn't see a jacket. Go back and try to figure out why I posted that to Weidmann, not you.

My bad about the Brewer thing.
I see what you're saying now.

'possibility that he already had his jacket off as he entered the house'
Earlene said nothing about Oswald carrying a jacket.
