I'll try to address a few of these, from memory:
1 - He didn't deny it to the police. He only denied it to the press. Just days before the assassination Kennedy was on the radio making a particularly anti-Cuba speech, which upset Oswald.
2 - The day he assassinated the president, he left all of his cash and his wedding ring in the home his wife was staying, after unexpectedly stopping by the night before to pick up his "curtain rods." When the police arrived at her home, she led them to the garage to show them that his rifle was kept in the garage and lo and behold, it was gone. She herself testified that at that moment she knew he had done it.
3 - I don't think he was in jeopardy of losing his job, but he suddenly had an opportunity to do something "great."
4 - He asked for the ACLU attorney because he knew that attorney also represented the communist party. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Abt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Abt
- hnnoob2003 9y agoThanks for the fast response! If he was looking for grandeur, why wouldn't he blare it to the press? The anti-Cuba speech is interesting and could help establish motive. The most damaging elements against Oswald are that he went home, changed clothes, armed himself, and shot Tippit. If innocent, why do those things? One final set of dangling questions: if he didn't care about getting caught, it makes sense that he brought a rifle to work in a bag then left it on the 6th floor with his fingerprints. If he did care, however, why not at least wear gloves and try to be more discreet in transporting the rifle (e.g., at night)? Ineptitude is a reasonable explanation, but there's a difference between stupidity and being unaccomplished. There only seems to be evidence he was unaccomplished. Also was the bag ever found?
