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

[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...

>>> Exactly. No professional assassin would choose that rifle, or even use that building (no guaranteed escape route, and too big a threat of return fire).

Too bad for Kennedy that Oswald wasn't a paid assassin, huh?

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

Says the guy who cuts and pastes Bugliosi drivel.

Bugliosi has successful court experience whereas Iacoletti has none, no wonder you'll try anything to suppress him.

Bugliosi has successful court experience whereas Iacoletti has none, no wonder you'll try anything to suppress him.

And his experience leads him to make the rhetorical argument that leaving one's wedding ring behind is evidence of murder.

 

[Thomas Graves]

And [Bugliosi's courtroom] experience leads him to make the rhetorical argument that leaving one's wedding ring behind is evidence of murder.

Maybe Oswald took it off because his finger was sore, and he forgot to put it back on.
