Oswald's Light-Colored Jacket

[John Iacoletti]

The second hand clothes outlet is a good explanation and is the one that I subscribe to.

Is there any evidence that Oswald ever got clothing from a second hand clothes outlet?  Any evidence whatsoever?

[Martin Weidmann]

Nobody gave it to him. He picked it up off of the ground.

That was not what I asked, Tim, but - to be fair - perhaps the question was too difficult for you. If so, sorry for that. I will dumb it down.

At the police station, Westbrook presented a grey jacket to the evidence room, but he told us in his testimony that at the car park he had given the jacket to an officer he could not identify. So, how did Westbrook get the jacket back at the police station?

That was exactly what you asked.

Why ask?

Isn't an assumption or even a "he could have" enough to be considered sufficient "evidence"?

[Bill Brown]

Regardless of whether CE-162 is Oswald's jacket or not (it is), the fact remains that he left the rooming house zipping up a jacket as he went out the door and then was seen by a multitude of witnesses (near the scene of the Tippit slaying) wearing a jacket.

Why did he have no jacket on when he was seen by Brewer?

[Bill Chapman]

This is a real tough choice.

I have to decide whether the jacket couldn't have belonged to Saint Oz because there was a laundry tag in it...

or

Maybe I should conclude that the jacket was his, based on the fibers found in it that just happen to match the shirt he was wearing when arrested.

Hmmmmm, this is a real close call.

Well, apparently (if memory serves) those fibers could have matched any other similar shirt, which fits neatly into the CTer 'AnybodyButOswald' daydream.

Cue CTer chorus: 'If the shirt don't fit, you must acquit'

CT INTERROGATOR: Mr Oswald, is this your shirt?
MR OSWALD: No.
CT INTERROGATOR: Okay. You can go.
MR. OSWALD: (SMIRK)

It's obvious you don't understand what happened, Bill. There were multiple Oswalds. There's the real Oswald Mrs. Bledsoe saw get in the Marsalis bus, went to his rooming house, quickly put on a jacket, discarded the jacket at the parking lot, was seen by Brewer entering the Texas theater and was  arrested at the Texas theater. There's the decoy Oswald that got on Whaley's taxi wearing two jackets. Then there's the decoy Oswald that Roger Craig saw get in the Rambler 15 minutes after the assassination. The decoy Oswald that Whaley gave a ride to then gave one of his jackets to the decoy Oswald that Roger Craig saw and that's the Oswald that shot officer Tippit. Simple, really.

You're actually quite good at making up stuff....

But, come to think of it, that was already obvious, so never mind.
