How Far Will Some JFK Conspiracy Kooks Go In Order To Try And Clear Lee Harvey Oswald Of Two Murders

Let's examine the LENGTHS to which many rabid JFK conspiracy theorists will go in their crazy attempts at allowing Lee Harvey Oswald to get away with the two murders he so obviously committed on 11/22/63..... -------------------------------------------------------------- 1.) Eyewitness Howard Brennan sees Lee Harvey Oswald shoot at President John F. Kennedy with a rifle. Plus: Brennan provided a decent "Oswald-like" description in his 11/22/63 affidavit....and this wouldn't even take into account the 12:44 PM APB description put out by J. Herbert Sawyer of the Dallas Police just minutes after the shooting. So you can toss out that 12:44 description if you want to think it WASN'T provided by Howard Brennan. That STILL leaves Brennan's 11/22 affidavit, which says: "He was a white man in his early 30s, slender, nice looking, and would weigh about 165 to 175 pounds." THE KOOK RESPONSE ("KR"): Brennan is totally unreliable. .... Or: His eyesight sucks. ... He was coerced into identifying Oswald. ... He wasn't even looking up at the sixth floor at the time of the last shot. ... He described the wrong clothing. ... He couldn't possibly have seen Oswald well enough to give a positive I.D. through a half-open window (DVP interjection: even though Brennan did positively identify two of the black men situated just one floor below the sniper). 2.) Lee Oswald's very own rifle is found on the 6th Floor of the TSBD just 52 minutes after JFK's assassination. KR: That rifle probably was "planted" there by dastardly, unknown, unseen conspirators of some ilk. .... Or: It wasn't really Oswald's rifle up on the 6th Floor at all. Instead, a Mauser rifle was found. 3.) Oswald's palmprint is found on his rifle the day of the assassination (per J.C. Day of the DPD): "Your No. 637 is the right palm of Oswald." -- J.C. Day; To WC That print was lifted off the gun barrel by Day himself before the rifle was turned over to the FBI on the night of 11/22/63. KR: The palmprint was either "planted" there by the Feds or the DPD after Oswald was killed (with a print taken from Oswald in the morgue, no less). .... Or: The print was never really lifted off of the weapon by J.C. Day as he stated to the WC, meaning that Day (along with a cast of hundreds more), was part of a "Let's Frame LHO" plot. 4.) Bullet CE399 (fired from Oswald's Carcano rifle "to the exclusion of all other weapons") is found inside the very same hospital where both victims of the shooting were taken, proving beyond virtually every shred of a doubt that Oswald's gun fired that bullet into either Jack Kennedy's or John Connally's body on 11/22/63. KR: CE399 was "planted" in the hospital by another of the faceless, nameless plotters who overtook Dallas that November day. No WAY that bullet could have been inside a victim on Nov. 22! And that "SBT" stuff is nonsense too (in case that's next on David's laundry list)! 5.) Bullet shells from Oswald's rifle ("to the exclusion" again) are found di
