Captain Westbrook positively identified CE-162 as the jacket found under a car in the lot behind the Texaco station.  Microscopic fibers were found inside one of the sleeves of this jacket.  According to an FBI report, these fibers were dark blue, grey-black and orange-yellow cotton fibers.

The shirt that Oswald was wearing when he was arrested consisted of dark blue, grey-black and orange-yellow cotton fibers.

Ted Callaway positively identified Lee Oswald as the man he saw running down Patton towards Jefferson.  Callaway said that Oswald was wearing a "light Eisenhower-type jacket".

When seen by Johnny Brewer and when arrested inside the theater, Oswald had no jacket on.

The Jacket found was not Oswalds . The  jacket found had a Cleaners tag (30 030) in it and also had a dry cleaning tag ( B 9738 ) Oswalds jackets were washed by Marina and the color of Oswalds jackets were a dark Blue jacket and a light weight Gray Jacket . Benavides said the man he saw was wearing a white jacket and Oswald did not have a white jacket !

Only a dishonest person who is not interested in the truth would make a big deal out of the light-colored jacket being called white by some.

Anyone with any sense at all is perfectly aware that a light-grey jacket could easily be called white by some people.  To deny this only proves the agenda of some.

If anyone were really interested in the truth, even a conspiracy believer, they wouldn't even bother mentioning this light-grey versus white thing, as if it means a damn thing.

The dishonesty is a shame, really.

A proper chain of custody is not always required to verify evidence.

 I am not sure I understand this It is certainly possible that an item, whose chain of evidence is not known, may indeed be the original item in question. Is that what you are saying?

I believe Tim is saying that an item of evidence can sometimes be verified as being authentic and true even if there is a problem, on some level, with the chain of custody of said item.

Indeed in the view of Oswald being used as and set up for being a patsy, while he thinks the instructions he is following pinpoint all along the line are something other, the ONLY flaw in the perfect forensic sense of that of the entire JFK crime scene matter, is why then, if Oswalds instructions for the departure from TBD to the boarding house and then to theatre, are not to wear a jacket, would Oswald don a jacket at the boarding house?


That is the only fly in the ointment of patsy instructions theory to that extent of the whole matter. And at first glance WELL does that derail the whole patsy thing mebbe??


BUT on the other hand  -


!/- The landlady is seriously blind and she was mebbe not paying much attention to Oswald. What if Lee only has a t shirt on and only dons that shirt maybe not even tucked in, to conceal the gun he is instructed to take, and is buttoning the shirt from the bottom. And the Tippit crime scene suspect surely has an unbuttoned jacket at that stage to get his gun out so quick. And I do seem to recall Oswald always wearing unbuttoned jackets but not sure on that.

2/- Even if he had forgotten his instructions then between there and the theatre he may have remembered or been reminded and ditched the jacket.

So I don't find the Oswald wearing a jacket at the boarding house that unshakeable. And after all his jacket was at the TBD rolled up in the 1st floor lunchroom window alcove behind the bench seat at this time, where he had placed it and left it for that stage. :D ;D Walk:
