Poll: 68% of Americans Believe Lee Harvey Oswald Acted Like an ......

[Walt Cakebread]

Oswald was offered legal representation but refused, claiming he wanted a New York lawyer named John Apt.

Oswald apparently answered a lot of general questions and only got angry and stopped talking when the questions became more pointed regarding the events of the day. Tell us why an 'innocent' Oswald should not address those questions.

If you are ever arrested for something, and are truly innocent, I suggest you answer all questions put to you.

EXTREMELY naive and very bad advice!......    Anybody with an ounce of brains knows his best chances are in  refusing to say anything other than the request for a lawyer.

Every 8 out of 10 suspects being interrogated waive their rights and start yacking away. Once they start talking most just keep going and going. Techniques to identify tells from the suspect are learned through training and experience. If the suspect has cohorts in the crime he or she is arrested for and suspected of committing you can set the time when he or she will identify their partner(s).

Apt?  Yeah, Bill, you really do your research.



Oswald asked for an attorney at the theater, at the midnight press conference, at his arraignment, and at his interrogations, but when Gregory Olds from the ACLU called, Fritz, King, and Johnston all said that Oswald had not made any requests or that he declined counsel.  This was all before the face-saving visit by Louis Nichols.

Old School, they never taught that at Northeastern or Suffolk.

[Jerry Freeman]

After another poll was taken...69% of the forum believe that with Bill Chapman---it is not an act.

Did Fritz go to Northwestern or Suffolk?   If he did he didn't learn much.....He was barely literate.  And he believed in beating a suspect until the poor devil said what he wanted to hear.   ( read Adams  vs Texas)
