John knows there's more than enough "actual evidence" to hang Oswald 20 times over (for TWO murders).
Anything can be called evidence, and very often is, but that doesn't mean it's conclusive or actual proof of anything.
And John also knows full well that Oswald's own actions on 11/21 and 11/22 would have convicted him if he had made it to trial too.
Amazing stupidity! Let's examine the facts of "Oswald's own actions" on 11/21 and 11/22. On 11/21 he went to work as normal, asked Frazier for a ride to Irving, went to Irving to visit his wife and kids and stayed the night. The next morning, he walks over to Frazier's home, for the ride back to the TSBD, where he worked normally that morning.
Those are the undisputed facts and none of it would have resulted in a conviction at trial.
Everything that happened between Kennedy's killing, at 12:30, and Oswald's arrest at the Texas Theater are allegations based on speculation and highly questionable evidence and witness testimony. The only really established fact is the arrest at the Texas Theater. Everything else would be scrutinized (imo much of it succesfully) by the defense.
To claim that Oswald would have been convicted based on his actions on 11/21 and 11/22 is just plain ridiculous and extremely naive.
Let's examine the facts of "Oswald's own actions" on 11/21 and 11/22. On 11/21 he went to work as normal, asked Frazier for a ride to Irving, went to Irving to visit his wife and kids and stayed the night. The next morning, he walks over to Frazier's home, for the ride back to the TSBD, where he worked normally that morning.Lets see what Oswald did 'normally' on 21/22
Asked Frazier for a ride to Irving_ Normally done on a Friday
_ Cites his need for curtain rods from Ruth's garage: Not normal
_ Does not call Ruth to ask for her permission to visit: Not normal
Went to Irving to visit his wife and kids and stayed the night_ So far, so good. Uh, oh: Morning comes, Oswald buggers off after
leaving money & wedding ring behind: Not normal
The next morning, he walks over to Frazier's home, for the ride back to the TSBD, where he worked normally that morning._Puts sizeable bag in his ride rather than politely wait for Buell. Putting sizeable bags in people's cars: Not normal.
_Walks ever faster ahead of Buell towards TSBD: Not normal
_Shots fired. Not normal.
Conclusion: Not a normal 21/22 for Oswald
