EVIDENCE IN THE OSWALD CASE WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN PLANTED OR MANUFACTED

Please note that this is just a sample and that all of the evidence was problematic for one reason or another. In my opinion, the case survived for a number of reasons: trust in the government and law enforcement was still strong, and the media was compliant and incurious, but mostly because it never went to trial, and there was no discovery, no testing of evidence, no cross-examinations of witnesses.

I may have a comment or two to make in relation to what was said here about Gerald Hill. But first, I want to get some sleep.

Good list.Perhaps a few more could be added.


Fingerprint on the rifle.

The money order.

Shells on the sixth floor.

The Mexico trip.....one of the largest steaming piles designed to lead you nowhere.

And, of course, the Second Floor Encounter fiction.

Plus anything about Oswald being a communist, a wife-beater, or trying to get back to Russia.

I think the only true story of Oswald "beating" his wife is when he hit her after discovering she had written to a former boyfriend in Russia telling him how much she regrets not marrying him instead. I am only going from memory here, so don't just take my word for it.
