Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Gary Craig]

Square or tapered off?

Domingo Benavides said he got a very good look at Tippit's killer from about 15 feet away.

He was very specific.

He didn't describe a collar creating the hairline on the back of the suspects head.

The jacket created hairline is nothing more than a LNer invention to counter exculpatory eyewitness evidence.


Testimony Of Domingo Benavides

Mr. BELIN - Where were you when your vehicle stopped?
Mr. BENAVIDES - About 15 foot, just directly across the street and maybe a car length away from the police car.

~snip~

Mr. Belin: Let me ask you now, I would like you to relate again the action of the man with the gun as you saw him now.

Mr. Benavides: As I saw him, I really--I mean really got a good view of the man after the bullets were fired he had just turned. He was just turning away........

~snip~

Mr. BENAVIDES - I remember the back of his head seemed like his hairline was sort of--looked like his hairline sort of went square instead of tapered off. and he looked like he needed a haircut for about 2 weeks, but his hair didn't taper off, it kind of went down and squared off and made his head look fiat in back.

There's that lame argument again.  I bet next we get to hear about how the jacket couldn't have been Oswald's because it was a size Medium and Oswald wore size Small.

No, I think next we will hear the lame argument that it must have been Oswald's jacket because fibers were found in it that may or may not have come from the shirt Oswald was arrested in.

  Domingo Benavides was a far more lucid and rational witness than Markham...

As a side note I have always wondered about this line of questions....

Mr. BELIN - What did you do in the Navy?
Mr. BENAVIDES - Yeoman and seaman.
Mr. BELIN - How long were you in the Navy?
Mr. BENAVIDES - Three years.
Mr. BELIN - Honorable discharge?
Mr. BENAVIDES - No, sir.
Mr. BELIN - You did not have an honorable discharge?
Mr. BENAVIDES - No, sir.
Mr. BELIN - What did you do when you got out of the Navy?
Mr. BENAVIDES - I returned to work for Merchants Delivery. 

But that didn't last very long....

The alleged jacket in possession of the Archives [is it not?] has probably been completely sanitized and devoid of any DNA evidence [or maybe not? ]

I bet next we get to hear the lame argument that the laundry marks were in the jacket from a previous owner and Oswald must have got it from a thrift store.

Why would that be a lame argument?

Why do you support cop-killers?  I'm curious.

There's a jacket that's alleged to be in possession of the Archives?
