JFK Assassination Forum

Earlene Roberts isn't important because we have much more compelling evidence than her recollection, namely that the witnesses to the shooting saw him wearing a jacket and HIS jacket was found under a car a short distance away.
Right. Maybe Oswald's jacket ended up under the car by PFM.
Right. Maybe it is just a coincidence that the jacket that was found under the car had fibers that matched the shirt Oswald was wearing. The same matching fibers were also found on the butt plate of the assassination rifle. But I guess that is all just an amazing coincidence and that Oswald was just the unluckiest SOB that ever lived.

Not sure we can even conclude that ANY jacket was found under under ANY car in ANY parking lot.
I don’t know how a story that is claimed to have been 1st heard from an unidentified person could be introduced as evidence, but I’m not a lawyer so I’m not sure what the rules  of evidence are. Just seems like hearsay  imo.

   So, "prove" me wrong. (1) Prove there is a car parked alongside the Island on the Wiegman Film, and (2) Prove that's Motorcycle Officer Haygood with Officer Harkness on the Darnell Film.
   I also recently found another piece of evidence regarding what I believe was the "getaway" car. If you're interested let me know. I don't want to pile on. The Evidence Needle is already "pegged" in my direction.

You have to admire their flawed logic;

Earlene Roberts is "probably one of the least important pieces of evidence we have".... "She said he had his jacket on" and he has no reason to doubt what Roberts said.

Never mind there is no corroboration for it, like the kind he demands for Buell Frazier, and Roberts's employer calls her not credible!

"The fact Oswald was seen throwing the jacket under a car and a jacket was retrieved from there that was identified belonging to him is enough for me."

Never mind that there is no chain of custody to show that the white jacket found under the car is the same as the grey jacket that Oswald owned

Even less so when the DPD dispatcher said;

Wanted for investigation for assault to murder on a police officer: A white male; approximately thirty; about five foot eight; slender build; has black hair; a white jacket; a white shirt and dark trousers. The suspect last seen running west on Jefferson from 400 East Jefferson. 1:24

And the officer (279) calling in the find said;

We believe we've got this suspect on shooting this officer out here. Got his white jacket. Believe he dumped it on this parking lot behind this service station at 400 block East Jefferson across from Dudley Hughes and he had a white jacket on. We believe this is it.

And then;

"So I will concede that no one is on record as having seen Oswald toss the jacket under the car."

So, if nobody saw Oswald leave a jacket under the car, and the suspect was wearing a white shirt (which Oswald didn't) where does that leave him with the "I have no reason to doubt Roberts" BS

And then it comes;

The fact is that Oswald's jacket was found under a car and I think we can conclude it didn't get there by PFM

So a jacket was found under a car and an officer believed it was the suspect's jacket (and wearing a white shirt) is all he has got left!

And it would indeed have been PFM for Oswald's grey jacket (CE 162) to be found under a car in Oak Cliff and being described as white, when there is evidence that places that grey jacket in Irving on Thursday evening!
