His rifle was there. That is the circumstantial evidence. It suggests, though not proves, Oswald was the assassin.
His rifle was there. That is the circumstantial evidence. It suggests, though not proves, Oswald was the assassin.There is strong evidence that the carcano wasn't even fired that day.....
A) The FBI reported that the barrel was dirty and corroded (rust) ..... If the rifle had had three rounds fired through the barrel the barrel would have been clean and no rust., Because the projectiles would have blown the dirt out of the barrel.
B) Not a single person reported the smell of burned gun powder. The rifle would still have been emitting an odor only one hour after the shooting.....Particularly when Fritz opened the bolt and ejected the live round. That live round would have acted as a cork and sealed the breech so the smell would have been there if the rifle had been fired.... ( Which raises the point .... The sniff test is nearly reflex with a seasoned detective ....It is a quick way to know if a gun has been fired recently, and yet neither Fritz nor Day (nor anybody else) used their heads or noses....now isn't that strange. If there had been a odor it would have reminded them to stick their noses down to the rifle's action.
C) the rifle was found laying ON THE FLOOR ( Not jammed between boxes) about 3 feet from the aisle that Lee allegedly dashed through as he entered the stairway.
The rifle was three feet away and three feet down at the bottom of a "cave " that was created by stacked boxes ....No 5'9" man could have reached across that span and placed the rifle ON THE FLOOR at the bottom of the cave. That rifle had to have been hidden there BEFORE the shooting because there simply was NOT enough time after the shooting . (Baker and Truly were at the site just a couple of minutes after the shots, and they saw nobody )
