Oswald's Light-Colored Jacket

[Martin Weidmann]

Exactly, you got nothing, Earlene held down a steady job that required her to see and she was trying to get her television working.

JohnM

Actually, she had been fired several times from that job. You kinda forgot about that, didn't you?

[John Mytton]

Wasn't that supposed to be CE 162?

Mr. BALL. I have here an exhibit, Commission Exhibit 162, a jacket. Did you ever see this before?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No; I did not.

As usual you short change someones testimony to suit your endless quest to discover a conspiracy.

Let's read the full testimony, Markham describes the same style of jacket but she saw the jacket outside in the sunlight as opposed to seeing the jacket inside which has an obvious effect on ones perception of shading.

Mr. BALL. I have here an exhibit, Commission Exhibit 162, a jacket. Did you ever see this before?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No; I did not.
Mr. BALL. Does it look like, anything like, the jacket the man had on?
Mrs. MARKHAM. It is short, open down the front. But that jacket it is a darker jacket than that, I know it was.

She did not witness the shooting and was no Tippit eyewitness.

Also, she decribes the so-called "light coloured jacket" as dark and fails to identify CE 162 as the jacket she had seen.

Mr. BALL. I have a jacket, I would like to show you, which is Commission Exhibit No. 162. Does this look anything like the jacket that the man had on that was going across your lawn?
Mrs. DAVIS. No, sir.
Mr. BALL. How is it different?
Mrs. DAVIS. Well, it was dark and to me it looked like it was maybe a wool fabric, it looked sort of rough. Like more of a sporting jacket.

Wanna give it another try?

You were wrong Martin, the vast majority of eyewitnesses described a light coloured jacket.

[John Mytton]

Wait, you didn't actually leave?

Whaaaat? That post wasn't directed to you, next time you better check which account you are responding

Now who is misrepresenting Markham's testimony?

She clearly states that she did not see CE 162 before and that the jacket she had seen was darker than that.

It is you who comes up with crappy mumbo jumbo excuses about sunlight and shades to "explain" why she did not recognize CE 162!

Pathetic!

As usual you short change someones testimony to suit your endless quest to discover a conspiracy.

Please explain how somebody shooting Tippit would automatically result in the discovery of a conspiracy to kill Kennedy?

Repeating a lie doesn't make it true.

So, no other try for you?

JohnM

It was directed at me, yet you are still here.... Go figure

Earlene Roberts actually knew Oswald and confirmed that Oswald was zipping up his jacket as he was leaving.

Mrs. ROBERTS. He just walked in---he didn't look around at me---he didn't say nothing and went on to his room.
Mr. BALL. Did he run?
Mrs. ROBERTS. He wasn't running, but he was walking pretty fast---he was all but running.
Mr. BALL. Then, what happened after that?
Mrs. ROBERTS. He went to his room and he was in his shirt sleeves but I couldn't tell you whether it was a long-sleeved shirt or what color it was or nothing, and he got a jacket and put it on---it was kind of a zipper jacket.

And what do you know, the jacket recovered had fibers in the sleeve that matched Oswald's shirt and the jacket was had a zipper.

The sleeves seem bulky. In fact Buell confirmed those bulky sleeves in testimony. Pretty good choice of jacket for someone intent on concealing the size of a certain package.
