Oswald Did It. No Question. 3000 Pieces of Evidence
3000 Pieces of evidence can't be wrong. Oswald did it and did it alone.
It's a video well worth viewing. The ABC special featuring Dale Myers "fool proof" analysis of the single bullet "fact" not theory. But then comes Peter Jennings with more of the official Warren Commission talking points, coming right down from American Intelligence to ABC. Who could refute 3000 pieces of evidence as Peter Jennings authoritatively intones? Why if even one or two of the "pieces" are slightly questionable, you still have 2,997 other pieces of evidence to deal with. Sadly, Mr. Jennings does not list those 3000 pieces of evidence so that deep thinkers might scrutinize them. However, he does mention three of those incriminating pieces. Presumably, the three strongest pieces of evidence that Lee Oswald, the loser, the "waif" as he was called, was solely responsible for the Crime of the Century. And just what were those three pieces of evidence??? Well, let's do it the Letterman way. Are you ready for this, boy and girls? First of all,
Number Three:
Trumpet fanfare (Ta ta ta tah, ta tah)
Oswald's fingerprints were found on boxes on the 6th floor of the TSBD, including the sniper's nest. That proves he shot the president, and did it all by himself. Never mind that he worked there, and it was his job to move those boxes. Just never mind, boys and girls because the evidence gets a lot better.
Number Two Piece of Evidence that Oswald did it and did it alone:
Oswald's Palm Print was found on the rifle. Now boys and girls, I know that some critics say there was no palm print found, and indeed the FBI found no palm print from the evidence released form the DPD on Nov. 22nd, but some time later Lt. Day did send them a photo of a palm print he said he found on the rifle, but not sent till Nov. 29th. Why later? Perhaps because it was ony after the FBI paid a visit to the Oswald funeral parlor with the rifle and placed his palm on it.
("Miller Funeral Home director Paul Groody told this author that the FBI fingerprinted Oswald's corpse. Groody said 'I had a heck of time getting the black fingerprint ink off of Oswald's hands.' In 1978, FBI agent Richard Harrison confirmed to researcher Gary Mack that he had personally driven another Bureau agent and the 'Oswald' rifle to the Miller Funeral Home. Harrison said at the time he understood that the other agent intended to place Oswald's palm print on the rifle 'for comparison purposes.' Oswald had been fingerprinted three times while alive and in Dallas police custody. There has been no explanation for this postmortem fingerprinting."-- from "Crossfire" by Jim Mars
This may seem unseemly for the FBI, but they just had to do it for the sake of the country. But wait the
Number One Piece of evidence should end all doubt that Oswald did it and did it alone:

Ballistics. Yes indeed, boys and girls, solid ballistic evidence that all of the bullets fired at the President came from the same Carcarno Rifle -- Oswald's rifle to the exclusion of all other rifles in the world. This comes from something very technical that measures metalic impurities in a lead content bullet with a nuclear reactor called Neutron Activation Analysis -- bombarding two fragments with neutrons and their radioactive characteristics compared. Now I know that none of you boys and girls probably have a nuclear reactor in your basement so that you can't really test these results yourself, so you have to just
trust a certified Expert on the subject, and leave it at that. The fragments were examined twice by neutron activation analyses, first by the FBI in 1964 (results inconclusive) and then by Vincent Guinn, a professor of chemistry at the University of California at Irvine in 1977. Guinn made measurements of the lead and antimony content of bullet C399 and another fragment.which were "indistinguishable," which in the language of the proponents means they were "identical." Thus, all of the bullets and fragments came from the same batch of bullets
proving that Oswald did it and did it alone. David Lifton asked Guinn as to the legitimacy of the fragments and if he could have been fooled. Guinn said, "Posssibly. They could take a bullet, take out a few pieces and put it in the containers and say," This came out of Connally's wrist, and naturally, if you compare that with bullet 399, they'll look alike... I have no control over those things. I have to believe these are honest people."
But the "evidence used to rule out a second assassin is fundamentally flawed," concludes a new article in the Annals of Applied Statistics. Former FBI lab metallurgist William A. Tobin and Texas A&M University researchers Cliff Spiegelman and William D. James concluded that re-analysis involved new statistical calculations and a modern chemical analysis of bullets from the same batch Oswald purported to have used. They reached no conclusion about whether more than one gunman was involved, but urged that authorities conduct a new and complete forensic re-analysis of the five bullet fragments left from the assassination in Dallas. "This finding means that the bullet fragments from the assassination that match could have come from three or more separate bullets," the researchers said. "If the assassination fragments are derived from three or more separate bullets, then a second assassin is likely."

Thus, just like every criminal trial involving "experts" it's always the prosecution's "experts" versus the defendant's "experts" and the non-expert juror can either flip a coin, or just try using some common sense.
But I really think it's important for all assassination buffs to view this ABC video which reveals just how the hoodwinking of America was still being carried out even 50 years after the event. And just how was that magic 3000 number derived? My guess is, ABC taking a que from American Intelligence simply pulled it right out of the air. Just as Joseph Goebbles is said to have remarked,
if you're going to create a lie, make sure it's a whopper. People would be much more likely to believe a big lie than a mere shading of the truth.
