Oswald is led to believe he is being brought in on a plot to kill the president, and Oswald volunteers to bring his rifle to the Depository...
By what sort of logic does this make sense? Oswald is told to wait in a lunchroom or wherever until summoned for his unspecified role in a Presidential assassination, and he
volunteers "Hey, I've got an old Carcano I'll go home and get if you're short on weapons." And the conspirators think an old Carcano sounds like a good idea? What? Hello? And then you have to explain all the post-assassination events from Tippit to the Texas Theater to his complete lack of cooperation post-arrest. Sorry, it just makes no sense at all to me.
Oswald realizes at some point following the assassination, that he might be falsely accused of shooting the gun that he brought to the Depository, so he tries to flee the scene...
But this didn't occur to him when he volunteered to bring in the gun??? You're positing an Oswald with an IQ of about 17.
Oswald denies all allegations believing an attorney will come to his aid, and that his one phone call - which was diverted from his "handler" and never went through, according to the testimony of switchboard operators - would give him assistance...
Switchboard operators at the Dallas police station claimed that, on the night of November 23, 1963, Oswald tried to make a long-distance call to Raleigh, North Carolina.
Nope, nope. nope. The Raleigh Call Factoid has been demolished, by me and others. Even Greg Parker said I'd done a nice job on that. John Hurt was an alcoholic, mental case. The call was an incoming call from him. The two women in the switchboard room were bitterly at odds about what had occurred, and the one who made the wild claims was clearly fabricating. It's a classic - classic, I tell you - Conspiracy Factoid. I researched it after huckster Jim DiEugenio posted "Oh, man, what about that Raleigh call?" as though we were talking about one of the keys to the JFKA.
Oswald wanting to contact attorney Abt does make sense even here in Lone Nutter Land. Abt was the attorney for the Communist Party, had been involved in at least one high-profile case, and my belief is that Oswald, once he surprisingly found himself alive after the JFKA, realized he could cement his place in history by turning a lengthy trial into Marxist Theater in which is brilliance would be revealed.
