Oswald's Innocence

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the evidence available against Oswald and then considers whether it proves that he was guilty "beyond a shadow of doubt" of murdering President John F. Kennedy.

From the Paper:

"Oswald is alleged to have killed Kennedy by firing shots from an Italian-made rifle , which he had purchased through mail-order service along with a revolver in March 1963. Wade stated in his press conference that Oswald's palm print was found on the rifle. The FBI later said, "no palm prints were found on the rifle." (Quoted by Lane, 1963). Why did Wade deliver this 'misstatement' at the press conference? Because he knew that any evidence 'presented' in a press conference would not be subject to exhaustive cross examination. Would he have presented such 'evidence' in a murder trial? The answer is obvious."
