Oswald's Light-Colored Jacket

[Jerry Freeman]

Whether Saint Oz was wearing a jacket or not when he was in the cab has no importance. Just like who found the jacket doesn't matter.
 
....but don't let common sense get in the way of your Oz worshipping.

 1- Why the psychotic ranting? Keep it civil OK?
 2- Why would someone who was wearing a jacket go home and put on a jacket?
Common sense indeed-----

[Matt Grantham]

 Just to backtrack immediately after the assassination Oswald departs just with the white shirt but apparently goes back in to get the brown overshirt?

Whatever it takes.  LOL.

[Tim Nickerson]

Of course it is. Chain of custody. Remember?

Chain of custody for an item of evidence doesn't begin until a law enforcement officer takes possession of it.

Nope. Oswald had the brown shirt with him at all times; from the time that he assassinated Kennedy until the time of his arrest in the Texas Theatre.

[Tim Nickerson]

So whether he did or did not have some kind of jacket at any particular time is rather irrelevant isn't it?

It's not irrelevant but it's not of great significance either.  It's merely just small piece of evidence that further shows that Oswald passed through that parking lot as he fled from the murder scene.

[Howard Gee]

It does more than just show Oswald passed through the parking lot.

It demonstrates that Saint Oswald was desperately trying to alter his appearance.

People don't usually ditch their jackets in parking lots without a reason for doing so.

Of course it's possible that Saint Oz was trying to throw the jacket into a Goodwill or Salvation Army bin located a few miles away, but I kind of doubt it.
