If the case against Oswald was legitimate and the evidence authentic, then certain elements of the case would have been true. The following is a list of those elements that SHOULD have been true, but weren’t. Were they all just coincidences or proof of Oswald’s innocence ?
If Oswald was guilty…….
The money order for the rifle would have been purchased at a time when Oswald was not at work.
The order blank and money order for the rifle would have been mailed at a time when Oswald was not at work.
The money order would have had more than just a stamp for deposit on it.
There would have been proof Oswald received the weapons. The persons at the Post Office and REA Express office who handed him those weapons would have been identified.
REA Express records would have been used as evidence instead of Seaport Traders copies.
Someone from REA Express would have been required to give testimony.
The former manager for Seaport Traders who handled the purchase of the handgun would have been called to give testimony unstead of a newly hired manager.
Part III of the post office box application for box 2915 in Dallas would not have been destroyed in violation of postal regulation 843.56h.
The FBI would have reported that “Hidell’s” name was on Part III when they examined it.
“Gunsack” truths
Witnesses who saw the “package” that Oswald took to work that morning would have described it as being over 3 feet long.
Jack Dougherty would have seen Oswald enter the building that morning with a package.
The paper “gunsack” would have been present in the crime scene photos.
The paper and tape used to make the “gunsack” would not have matched the paper and tape that was on the shipping room table on the afternoon of November 22nd.
Oswald’s fingerprints would have been all over the “gunsack”.
The disassembled rifle would have left scratches on the inside of the “gunsack”.
The bolt also would have left scratches on the wooden stock.
Inside the Depository truths
The rifle found on the sixth floor would have been 36 inches long.
The rifle found on the sixth floor would have had bottom sling mounts.
The three spent shells found on the sixth floor would have been placed in a sealed envelope.
Dallas Police truths
The crime scenes would have been secured. No traffic would have been allowed on Elm St. 10 minutes after the Assassination. Witnesses to the Tippit murder would have been advised to stay in their houses. Police would have been the ones to collect evidence. Spent shells would have been photographed as found.
Interrogation of suspect Oswald would have ceased once he requested a lawyer.
Once his lawyer was present, the Dallas Police would have recorded the interrogation sessions on tape or had a court stenographer present to record them.
The Dallas Police would not have staged lineups without Oswald’s lawyer present.
“Fillers” in the police lineups would have resembled either Oswald or the witnesses’ descriptions of the man they saw.
Sgt. Leavelle would never have told Callaway and Guinyard that Tippit’s killer was in the lineup before they viewed it.
Bus driver Cecil McWatters would have identified Oswald as the man he gave the bus transfer to.
Oswald would have had taxi driver William Whaley drop him off at his roominghouse.

The FBI would have discovered Oswald’s palm print on the rifle when they examined it on 11/23.
Tippit murder truths
The bullets removed from Off. Tippit’s body would have matched the shells found at the murder scene.
Off. J.M. Poe would have found his initials on the shells in evidence.
The spent shells would have been described by police in their broadcast as .38 Specials fired from a revolver.
Initials of persons not in the chain of custody would not be on the spent .38 shells.
The unfired .38 rounds and bus transfer would have been found on Oswald’s person the first time he was searched.
Helen Markham would never have hesitated in identifying Oswald as the man she saw kill Tippit.
Ted Callaway would never have asked Domingo Benavides which way the shooter went.
The identity of the officer who found the jacket under the Oldsmobile would have been revealed and he would have been required to identify the jacket in evidence as the jacket he found.
The witnesses to the Tippit murder would have identified the jacket in evidence as the jacket the killer wore.
Once Oswald was known worldwide, the dry cleaner who dry cleaned the jacket would have recognized Oswald as someone who came into his store, come forward and contacted the FBI.
Medical truths
The Dallas doctors’ recollections of the President’s wounds would not have been discounted.
The autopsy x-rays and photographs would have matched each other.
The x-rays and photographs would have depicted the same wounds to the President’s head as described in the autopsy report.
The President’s body would have arrived at Bethesda in the same casket it left Dallas in. ( from Pete Mellor )
Security truths
Motorcycle officers would have been allowed to ride alongside the limo and would not have been told to remain behind the rear wheels and hold their position, “no matter what happens”.
The general who usually rode in the front seat between the SS agents would have been in the front seat.
The Press would have been on the back of a flatbed truck in front of the limo.
The limo driver would not have slowed the limo down when the shooting started.
The Secret Service agents would not have been up all night drinking in a Fort Worth bar against regulations and if not fired, would have at least been reprimanded for doing so.
Ammunition truths

CE 399 would have been identified by the persons who handled the “stretcher bullet” as the bullet they handled.
CE 399 would have had blood or clothing fibers on it from either victim, proving it had been fired in Dealey Plaza.
If Oswald was guilty…..
There would be no conflicts in the evidence.
There would be no problems with the chain of custody.
People not connected with the case, like Dean Rusk and Anne Boudreaux, would never be called to testify.
The Commission’s expert on scopes would have given testimony on the accuracy of the scope on the Depository rifle instead of four-power scopes in general.
The Commission’s expert on Oswald’s skill with a rifle would have been someone who spent time on the rifle range with Oswald, instead of an administrator reading from a scorebook.
The wounds tests would have produced a wound to the test skulls similar to the head wound received by the President.
The ammunition test would have produced a bullet similar to CE 399.
The test of the rifle for accuracy would have produced hits in the head area of the silhouette targets.
Authorities would never have altered witness statements and affidavits or threatened and harrassed witnesses.
Evidence would not be missing.
The closest witnesses to the assassination, like Charles Brehm and William Newman, would not have been ignored.
Jack Ruby’s mother’s dental record would never have been an exhibit.
Final thoughts
All of the above things would have been true if Oswald was guilty. But the opposite was true.
Everything would have added up. Each piece of evidence would serve to corroborate another. There’d be no questions. And yet you can go through every single piece of evidence in this case and there are questions surrounding it.
The odds that ALL of these inconsistencies combined is some sort of coincidence must be astronomical, if not impossible. They lead me to only one conclusion.
The case against Oswald was not legitimate, it was fake. The evidence of that lies in the way the authorities handled Oswald, the way they handled the evidence and the way they handled the witnesses.
The Commission concluded that one shot missed the limousine, one shot hit both Kennedy and Connally and one shot hit the President in the head. And yet not one person who witnessed the assassination described it as happening that way.
It’s not rocket science, folks. It’s easy to see. They arrested the wrong guy for the crime, then tampered with the evidence to make it look like he was guilty.
One thing is for sure: Oswald was a patsy.
John Kennedy and J.D. Tippit were killed by their enemies, not Oswald.
