CT's, in court how would you defend Oswald?

[Gary Craig]

Where does it say Brennan was 'unable' to identify Oswald
Stop twisting and ignoring Brennan's fear for his family's safety
Nobody changed the position of back/throat entry wound
...etc

So goes the CT Lunatic Fringe Rinse & Repeat Campaign

"Nobody changed the position of back/throat entry wound"

Nobody said the wound location was moved.

Jerry Ford did change the wording that described the location of the wound in the final draft of the WCR.

The autopsy doctors said the wound was below the shoulders.

JFK's physician described the wound at the third thoracic vertebra, which is below the shoulders.

Jerry Ford changed the description of the wound's location to the back of JFK's neck.

Steve,

Would that law (1963) have been legislated to account for Washington DC which is not a State but is a separate part of the USA?

Military installations could also be subject to Federal Law not State's.

Was there any evidence (not speculation) discovered between November 22 - 24 November 1963 that would prove Lee Harvey Oswald conspired with a person or group to murder John F. Kennedy?

Ross, this is above my pay grade <g>. I guess probably not if it had taken place on city/local property such as a DC street and not on Federal property (the attempt on Truman was done in the Blair House, which was federal property; so the attempted assassins were prosecuted under Federal law).

DC has an odd judicial system (I lived in Northern Virginia in the 1980s; not that that makes me an expert on this). The US District Attorney also prosecutes violations of city/locals laws. And the Federal courts in DC (judges are selected by the President) also hears violations of local laws. So if an assassin had shot JFK on the streets of DC I'll guess that the US DA for Washington would have prosecuted him for a violation of city laws against murder.

As to the conspiracy evidence on 11/24: None that I know of. Remember the controversy though about Oswald being charged as part of an "International Communist Conspiracy"? Bill Alexander, the assistant DA to Wade, said he told a reporter that but that he was just being provocative. But the White House took it serious and asked Wade about it. He said he didn't know anything about it since there was no Texas law against "International Communist Conspiracy"; just conspiracies.

Shorter me: I'm not sure about any of this <g>.

In a 1999 interview Robert Oswald told me Lee was looking forward to a trial and would have confessed.  I asked him how he knew this. He responded “I know my brother”.  For what it’s worth.

Not much.

Plenty of you lot claimed he moved the location
The twofer entry remained as marked on the generic drawing 14x14

Can you stop being a 'bandwidth bandit' here and just link to your sources? Those 3-foot-deep posts are a messy eyesore

[Jerry Freeman]

That is comedy gold.

Don't anyone ring the golden buzzer yet...there are most likely sillier posts to come.
Henry Wade convicted Oswald that weekend and he was one of the biggest Kennedy haters in Dallas.

[Bill Chapman]

Not much.

So there is some chance that big bro had a bit more experience around his brother than you did. How generous of you to admit that.

[Jim Brunsman]

I would love to defend Oswald! I'm not saying I would win with Hoover and Johnson and the cover-up team assassinating every bit of evidence they could. But let's start with the SBT. The actual bullet, CE 399 was almost certainly fired into nothing harder than cotton. It certainly could not create seven wounds on two adult men (including bone) and emerge looking like that. But there's a more important reason to dismiss the SBT PERMANENTLY. The autopsy witnesses described Humes probing the back wound and finding no outlet and no bullet. How can this wound be a threat to Governor Connally? IT DID NOT PENETRATE THE PRESIDENT. Do you get it yet??? Specter created this moronic theory because he knew the Zapruder film created a timing problem. There has never been a shred of evidence that supports the SBT. NOT ONE. It's just a Specter CYA job. Humes lied on several matters, none more vital than this one...

What else?
The "humanitarian rifle" (surplus Italian garbage no self-respecting assassin would consider)
No witness has placed Oswald in the "sniper's window." (Brennan??)
How could Oswald fire off those shots, run to the other side of the building, stash the weapon and descend the stairs in time to be in the lunch room in time to meet Baker?
The Tippitt murder scene is almost as confusing as Dealey Plaza. What's with multiple contradictory eyewitness accounts Two different makes of ammo? Did Oswald have time to get there?
What about the witnesses who were introduced to Oswald by Ruby at the Carousel Club and others who saw them together?
What about Ruby's calls to mobsters in the weeks prior to the assassination?
Ruby kills LHO out of revenge for the First Lady? Come on, are we really that ignorant?
What is Oswald's motive?
Films show two shadowy figures in the alleged assassin's window.
Oswald's connections with Ferrie, Bannister, DeMohrenschildt, and others are extremely suspicious. Seems pretty clear Oswald's getting "sheep dipped" that last summer.
Zapruder Film shows no reaction that a shot impacted from the rear but it does show the violent head shot from the RIGHT FRONT. (In defending Oswald, a shot proving a frontal head shot would be diversionary since I believe shots originated from the rear as well.)
Dallas Police Dictabelt is controversial, but it's extremely hard to explain if you are a lone nutter.
That's just a start. I'm not a lawyer...
