Oswald's Light-Colored Jacket

[Walt Cakebread]

This gets me too. Some people leave flowers on Oswalds grave.

Has anybody ever proved beyond a shadow of doubt that Lee Oswald shot J.D. Tippit?   If you're honest you must answer that question with a resounding NO.

A guy from this forum took a knee at Oswald's grave

And that's a problem? Why?

[Tim Nickerson]

No further claims here from the defenders of the Oswald did it Report?
Continuing... I don't see this Captain Westbrook's initials [who was supposedly involved with it's alleged discovery] on the jacket....How come?

Probably because he never placed his initials on it. It wasn't necessary for him to do so.

Really, Tim?

Westbrook was prominent in the chain of custody, wasn't he? He is the main link between the white jacket found in the parking lot and the grey jacket delivered to the evidence room some two hours later, isn't he?

Or does none of that matter and will the initials of anybody, even people who never handled the jacket, do for you?

[Bill Brown]

The really important question is... Oswald was seen leaving the rooming house zipping up a jacket as he went out the door.  He was seen at Hardy's Shoe Store without a jacket on.  Let's assume for a minute that he never was at Tenth and Patton.  Why did he ditch his jacket somewhere between the rooming house and the shoe store?

[Martin Weidmann]

No. The really important question is: Did Oswald indeed leave the roominghouse wearing a jacket?

The initials on the jacket were not necessary. The jacket had something on it that made it readily identifiable.
