Sorry CT's, the Mountain of Evidence is Overwhelming!

Because he paid a cab fare in order to avoid paying an extra bus fare? This makes no sense.

Maybe because Oswald was in a hurry to get out of the main city of Dallas?
I wonder what would cause an alleged "tight-fist" to want to splurge unnecessary money to leave in such a hurry? LOL

Maybe this wonder should be called evidence of murder.

Oh yeah, it is.

Did not Oswald have on his person approx $13 dollars when he was arrested in the Texas Theater?

That’s about equivalent to $100 today given that the min wage in 63 was $1.25/hr.

So if  Oswald was in hurry to get out of town , he had enough money to take a cab or get a bus to take him to the Marseilles Zoo and from
There Oswald could have boarded an empty box car on the nearby railroad line.

But then why didn’t Oswald take his spy camera and some clothes in a bag and some other items he might need from
His boarding room, if he was planning to go out of town by bus or freight train?

If Oswald was so familiar with the bus  then why did he choose a bus he must have known was going BACK to the TSBD?

If Oswald was in hurry to get back to his boarding room, and he had the equivalent by todays standard of $100 then why didn’t he just go straight to the nearest cab so as to get to his boarding room ASAP?

Furthermore, this case from Michigan, explains that “evidence of flight, which includes fleeing the scene of a crime, is admissible to support an inference of consciousness of guilt.”

“Support an inference”. LOL.

What this supports is confirmation bias.

Let's first establish that Oswald was in fact fleeing the scene of a crime, rather than just assuming he was, shall we?

Huh? The scene of the crime was from the Depository to a point on Elm street and Oswald fled the Depository within minutes and was frantically catching buses and cabs.

Since when does a guy "fleeing the scene of a crime" offer his cab to a woman who also needed a ride?
