Question about JFK assassination

[Byzantine Magpie]

I've spent the afternoon discussing the Kennedy assassination with some people who were rather under-educated about it, and falling for a number of red herrings.

But a couple have asked a question I can't answer. Or at least, they're not satisfied with what answer I can give.

Why didn't the Dallas Police keep a formal record of their interviews with Oswald?

I vaguely remember (from my lost copy of "Case Closed") that it was something to do with a lack of recording equipment and that handwritten records of interview were thrown out of court. Is that correct, or am I on the wrong track?

Cheers

Read this excerpt from Gus Russo's Life By the Sword, it should answer your questions.

Brilliant. Thanks very much.

Not to derail the thread - but I saw a funny comedy piece, that has Lee Harvey spotting the assasin on the grassy knoll - trying to shoot him, but being such a bad shot, hit the President instead lol

I prefer the "Red Dwarf" version.

The best line in the movie Zoolander comes when David Duchovny is talking about how all the top assassins have been models. When he mentions JFK, the female reporter says that Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't a model, which prompts the retort "You're damn right he wasn't. But the two lookers who capped Kennedy from the grassy knoll sure as hell were."
