CT's, in court how would you defend Oswald?

[John Mytton]

I recently have been getting reacquainted with the OJ case and it left me wondering how would JFK CT's handle the Oswald conspiracy in court?

To win the OJ case the "Dream Team" capitalized on the alleged racist atmosphere of LA, so the "Dream Team" invented a reasonably plausible alternative narrative, whereas the JFK CT's have given us virtually nothing?

Who planted what and why? What did they have to gain?

The prosecution would be presenting evidence piled on evidence and eyewitness after eyewitness, and in return what would the JFK CT's present and where do your theories go?

LHO would have most likely had his day in court relatively soon after the crime as compared to today's world. I watched the mock trial they produced in April of 1964 recently. In that one they stood mute (which legally meant he pleaded not guilty) and also plead the insanity plea. That was probably his only hope of avoiding the electric chair.

The racism in Dallas and the whole South at the time was massive, it was a powder keg, with bombings etc, this was number one motive as was the fact that J.F.K was a Catholic and this stood to ruin the US UK special relationship and and most importantly a new foreign policy direction.
 If Milteers prediction could have been presented, along with the possibility that another firing point was available, to still carry the same line of fire., and with Oswald himself put into the witness box, to tell us exactly where he was for the shooting, he would have been acquitted.

OJ was from a different era with a sympathetic jury.  Oswald was the most hated man in America and the evidence was overwhelming against him.  A 1964 Texas jury convicts him a thousand times out of a thousand.  Oswald's best legal advice would have been to plead guilty in return for no death penalty.  Something akin to what James Earl Ray did.  The only question is whether Oswald wanted a show trial to espouse his grievances.

Showing off your amazing speculative powers again?

IMO A good defense team would have asked for a change of venue.

Jeezzz, not again! Why don't you just post this to every thread on the forum and be done with it.

LOL.  You would probably get a hung jury.  Half would want to hang Oswald and half would want to hang you.  A change of venue?  What for?  To find someone that didn't know about the assassination?  How about Mars?  That is comedy gold.
