Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Bill Brown]

Do you believe Lee Oswald killed J.D. Tippit?

No.  I have no good reason to believe that.  Unfair and biased lineups are unreliable.

You lack the common sense required to understand.

If Oswald had gone to trial for the murder of J.D. Tippit, common sense matters.

Regarding the evidence that exists and "evidence" that does not exist, juries are required to make reasonable inferences.  A judge will advise a jury about what is and what is not reasonable. Common sense must prevail in respect to the evidence (which is overwhelming in the case of Tippit).

The US Law Dictionary defines 'common sense' as:

'Sound practical judgment; that degree of intelligence and reason, as exercised upon the relations of persons and things and the ordinary affairs of life, which is possessed by the generality of mankind, and which would suffice to direct the conduct and actions of the individual in a manner to agree with the behavior of ordinary persons.'

[Bill Brown]

That would be more convincing if the order blanks matched.

Would it? I doubt it.

Anybody who thinks he can predict how a jury would rule doesn't know the first thing about how a jury trial really works.

Making a claim about there being "overwhelming evidence" is equally stupid as the jury simply might not see it that way. Prosecutors going into court thinking they have an airtight case frequently get destroyed by an able defense lawyer sowing sufficient seeds of doubts in the minds of the jury.

The entire argument that Oswald would have been convicted at trial (and he may well have been) is a pathetic one as there never was or will be a trial making the entire argument nothing more than an unprovable selfserving opinion, no matter what any dictionary says about "common sense".

As usual...Chappo misses the mark... Failing consistently to contribute anything of value to this forum.
Definition in the Urban Dictionary describes gaslighting this way:

'A form of intimidation or psychological abuse, sometimes called Ambient Abuse where false information is presented to the victim, making them doubt their memory, perception and quite often, their sanity.

It does not mean or illustrate a suggestion of reasonable doubt.
Have a nice day

Freefall again misses my point, which is a broader one addressing the common gaslighter MO practiced by virtually every CTer

Why is Chappy like a basketball? There is no point.

Seaport Trader's offered a  S & W .38 Special that they referred to as Commando.



That's the model that Oswald ordered and the model that Seaport shipped to his PO Box.

This doesn't explain why the line that matched CE 143 on the order form is BLANK. Gimmicks is all LNers have.
