Evidence:His gun(s).
Not according to the official evidence, no.
Hmmm. I can believe the experts, or I can can believe you. Tough call.
The experts say Oswald's handwriting is on the order form for the rifle.
The experts say Oswald's handwriting is on the PO Money Order for the rifle.
The experts say the C2766 Mannlicher-Carcano was shipped to Oswald's PO box.
The experts say Oswald's fingerprints are on the trigger guard of the rifle.
The experts say Oswald's palmprint is on the rifle.
The experts say the "Backyard Photos" (BYP) are authentic, and show Oswald in possession of that rifle.
The evidence, therefore, indicates Oswald ordered, paid for, and took possession of the rifle with the serial number C2766. That makes it his rifle, by every standard known to man.
I'm going with the experts on this one, but it was really close (your assertion to the contrary sounds so convincing, all it was lacking was any evidence to support it).
You say the official evidence says otherwise? You are wrong. The official evidence, according to the experts with the skill, background, education and training to interpret it, says it was Oswald's rifle.
The evidence for the revolver is just as airtight.
Shots came from his place of employment.
Yes. Does this make him the shooter? No.
There's the additional evidence of his rifle being found at his place of employment, and a nearly whole bullet being found at Parkland, two large fragments found in the Presidential limousine, and three shells being found at the sniper's nest window, all six pieces of evidence which are **ballistically traceable to his weapon, to the exclusion of all other weapons in the world**. According to those experts. That's what makes him the shooter.
He was in the building at the time.
Says LEE HARVEY OSWALD.

1st REPORTER: Did you shoot the President?
LEE HARVEY OSWALD: I work in that building.
1st REPORTER: Were you in the building at the time?
LEE HARVEY OSWALD: Naturally, if I work in that building, yes, sir.
What part of "Yes, sir" to the question "Were you in the building at the time?" don't you understand?
Are you calling Lee Harvey Oswald a liar about this? You already alleged the primary Dallas Crime Lab man responsible for collecting the evidence from the Depository was a liar, so I'm going to ask you to tell us explicitly what you think about Oswald's admission to the television cameras?
Fled the scene.
Left the scene, yes. So did lots of people. Fled? Says who?
Hmmm... let's see. Left his rifle on the sixth floor. Did leave the building within three minutes of the shooting. Did catch a bus to get to his roominghouse. Abandoned the bus and then took a taxi (admitting in custody it was the first time he ever paid for a cab) PAST his roominghouse, walking back. Who takes a cab past their destination, and why? Did take his revolver when leaving the roominghouse, as he admitted in custody. His actions speak strongly of not merely leaving the scene, but fleeing the scene and rather quickly. Can you name one other person who left the Depository building after the shooting, did not try to return, and took two modes of transportation to ultimately go past their residence and arm themselves with a revolver?
Killed a DPD officer who stopped him, tried to kill a second one when they confronted him in the theater.
The so called technical evidence is a joke. The witness line ups are really funny to. "Hm ... who can it be ... maybe the guy with the black eye and trashed dirty T-shirt ... hm ... ?"
There are three different versions of this little incident. Which one do you find particularly convincing?]
You didn't respond to the point. The first impromptu witness lineup of sorts was IN THE THEATRE when the cops asked Johnny Brewer to point out the man he saw acting suspiciously and who sneaked into the theatre. Brewer pointed out the man who, when approached, punched a police officer, drew his weapon on that police officer, and had to be subdued by numerous law enforcement officers. That man who resisted arrest, assaulted a police officer, and attempted murder of a police officer was, of course, Lee Harvey Oswald. What was wrong with THAT impromptu lineup? Brewer could have picked any one of the male patrons out as the man he saw acting suspiciously and who sneaked into the theatre. It was just a coincidence he pointed out Lee Harvey Oswald?
And the weapon removed from the hand of that arrested man was ultimately determined to be the same weapon that shot and killed Officer J.D.Tippit at approximately 1:15pm.
That weapon belonged to Lee Harvey Oswald, and it was taken from his hand in the theatre.
