Oswald's Light-Colored Jacket

[John Iacoletti]

Exactly, you do realize that Iacoletti argued for weeks, at which point someone was known and unknown and by whom, and you expect Markham to act how you want and if not you throw her under a bus for what is perfectly explainable, you Oswald fanatics are beyond reason.

"Perfectly explainable" with lame LN excuses.

"Number two was the man I saw shoot the policeman"

Nice cherry-pick.  Keep in mind, this is the same "utter screwball" who claimed

- Tippit tried to talk to her and knew she was there, even though he was killed instantly.
- She was there all by herself screaming for help for 5-10 minutes but nobody responded.
- She tried to save Tippit's life.
- She tried to use Tippit's police radio to call for help.
- That the man talked to Tippit through the passenger side window, but it was rolled up.
- That Benavides was a policeman.

Ball had to not only lead her into saying that she recognized someone in the lineup, but he even had to explain to her where she was standing when the event occurred.  Ball also had to lead her into identifying that the stain in the street on a photo was the same place she saw a pool of blood.

But let's ignore all that and just go with "Number two was the man I saw shoot the policeman".

Iacoletti, you've been told, the prohibitive probability is that those fibers came from the shirt Oswald was wearing.

"Prohibitive probability" is Bugliosi-speak for "similar".

[John Iacoletti]

Many witnesses positively identified Oswald in the vicinity of Tenth and Patton, running with a gun in his hands and wearing a jacket.

In unfair and invalid lineups and photo showups.

Each of us can, on our own, choose to determine how much credibility to give these witnesses.  Some can accept the obvious, that the witnesses near Tenth and Patton saw the same man that Brewer saw.  Others can jump through any hoop that they have to in order to place guilt on anyone other than the actual cop-killer.

Something doesn't just become "obvious" because it's your unsubstantiated opinion.

"Clearly ambiguous".  LOL.  "Did you recognize anyone in the lineup?"

-sigh-

Why is this a problem, she clearly was under the impression if she knew any of the men before 1:15 on the 22nd and she said no, Ball should have seen the problem immediately and rephrased the question.
Besides Markham was in front of some of the most powerful men in the country and they were investigating the death of the President of her country Markham being a little nervous is perfectly understandable and in no way affects her positive identification on the same day.

Mr. RANKIN. 162?
Mrs. OSWALD. That is Lee's--an old shirt.
Mr. RANKIN. Sort of a jacket?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.

Is this supposed to somehow prove that CE162 was Oswald's jacket?

[John Mytton]

Why is your opinion always the "obvious" one? 

Because Benavides positively identified Oswald.

Mr. BELIN - You used the name Oswald. How did you know this man was Oswald?
Mr. BENAVIDES - From the pictures I had seen. It looked like a guy, resembled the guy. That was the reason I figured it was Oswald.
