But it became fairly obvious (early on) that this "golden nugget" was just one of several non-conspiratorial mistakes made by the news media on 11/22---similar in nature to other "golden nuggets" of erroneous info reported on radio and television that day. Such as: The "Secret Service agent has been shot and killed" nugget. And the "Lyndon Johnson had a heart attack and/or was also hit by an assassin's bullet" golden nugget(s). And then there's the "Oswald has confessed to killing the President and the police officer" nugget, which turned out to be nothing but erroneous (and hilarious) hot air that was being reported as absolute fact by at least two of Dallas' radio stations on November 22 (KBOX and KLIF).
All of those things were obviously wrong. But they made it to the media airwaves anyway. And those errors don't involve anything "conspiratorial". They were simply mistakes that were corrected later in the day.

Regardless of how the media received the early erroneous report that J.D. Tippit had been shot at the theater, the evidence that Captain Fritz had available to him --- e.g., the multiple witnesses who positively identified Oswald as Tippit's killer, plus the bullet shell casings found on 10th Street that matched the gun that Oswald had on him when he was arrested --- would certainly be enough to demonstrate to Fritz that Oswald was, in fact, the murderer of Officer Tippit.
And as for that last item of evidence I just mentioned above---I've talked about this obvious (but often overlooked) fact so many times in the past, I decided to memorialize it in a digital image....

All of those things were obviously wrong. But they made it to the media airwaves anyway.The point is:.....Fritz apparently thought that Tippit had been shot by Lee Oswald in the Theater.....

Yer attributing things to Fritz that he didn't know when he first started interrogating Lee.
When Fritz started questioning Lee ....He knew that he had been arrested at the theater....and JD. Tippit had been shot....That's the extent of his knowledge at 3:00 pm. He knew nothing about the spent shells found at 10th and Patton, He knew no0thing about Helen Markham or any other person who had been in the vicinity of Tippi's murder.
The fact that Fritz assumed that Tippit had been shot in the theater is heavily reflected in the initial questioning of Lee Oswald and is the question in the title of this thread.
Was Lee Oswald questioned about the murder of JD Tippit?http://quoting-common-sense.blogspot.com"somebody other than Oswald shoots Tippit with Oswald's revolver"
This utterly ridiculous statement is the product of a warped brain......The author bases his statement on his imagination.
He obviously believes that the 38 caliber S&W that Lee apparently possessed when he was arrested at the theater was the murder weapon. Any rational and reasoning person would study to learn the facts before forming an opinion.
Here are the facts
A) It was never established that the projectiles from Tippit's body had in fact been fired from Lee's S&W revolver
B) Although it appears that the spent shells that were presented were fired in Lee's S&W revolver......There is NO PROOF that they are the same shells that were found widely scattered around the Tippit murder scene. As a matter of fact it appears that the shells ARE NOT the shells from the Tippit scane.
C) All of the witnesses who saw the killer during the shooting or leaving the area said that he was using a revolver that required that one shell at a time be extracted..... A S&W revolver ejects all shells in the cylinder at once.....They are NOT extracted ONE AT A TIME. Thus it's obvious that the killer was not using a S&W revolver.
There are more facts but that should be enough for anybody with a functioning brain.......
