Amy Joyce:
I was just reading Hall's testimony again. He said that he was with Ruby
most of the afternoon from 12:40 - 5:30. He interviewed Ruby some of the
time, while others interviewed Ruby at other times, but Hall was always
there witnessing it. The following is what pisses me off:
When Hall showed up, Ruby was already stripped down to his underwear. At
about 2:00, Tom Howard showed up so they allowed Ruby to get dressed and
visit with him .... a meeting with his lawyer that only lasted four
minutes? Afterwards, they stripped Ruby down to his shorts again right
away. What??? What reason did they have to keep Ruby stripped to his
undergarments for hours at a time in the jail cell hallway? They checked
his clothing for weapons and there wasn't any. Was this an intimidation
thing or what? Questioning him in a hallway without his clothes on?
Seriously? Who ever heard of such a thing?
And what's with that very short four minute interview with his lawyer?
..... And why didn't Howard stick around during the questioning?
And if Howard was not Ruby's lawyer yet then why was he giving statements
to the press about what Ruby admitted doing and why he did it? Tom Howard
was totally out of line as Ruby's lawyer, and it makes me wonder if he was
in on it.
There is a report written by Fritz in which Fritz details a q&a interview
with Howard, all pertaining to Jack Ruby and Oswald's murder. A copy was
even sent to the D.A., Henry Wade. Again, WTF? I can't help but be
angry. Is this normal conduct for a defense attorney?
The whole damn security of LHO was a joke and Oswald's family should have
sued the pants of the DPD. I wonder if they still could, seeing that it's
murder. Even the WC said it was bad security and the DPD seemed more
concerned about how they looked then actually protecting a prisoner that
was receiving death threats. There were 6-8 officer's guarding the
Commerce Street Ramp but ONLY ONE on the Main Street Ramp. Sounds like a
set up to me or at the least guilty of not protecting their prisoner!!!
One guy on one side, 6 on the other, and 22 officers were sent to cover a
traffic corner (15-30 minutes before the incident). On a Sunday!
Clearly it was pre-planned regarding what they were going to say about how
Ruby got in. Curry (or Fritz) said they were concerned that someone might
kidnap Oswald - that they got a threatening call saying that 100 men were
going to take him during the transfer. Apparently that concern made them
decide to actually put one man on Main street.... instead of none! Heck,
can't make it too obvious now can they?
Ralph Cinque:
First, Amy, I share your outrage about them keeping Ruby stripped to his
underwear for so long. But, I also want to point out that there was no
mention of them stripping him out of his underwear and into new underwear;
DPD-approved underwear. And that makes a mockery out of this ridiculous
inclusion in the property invoice:
What even is "1 set underwear"? Who would make such a reference? Did they
really strip Ruby out of his underpants and give him other underpants?
That is preposterous! The very idea! Yet, that is the unavoidable
implication. "Set" means more than one item. So, it had to be at least two
things, and in this case, the "set" consisted of socks, underpants, and
undershirt. So, they had all those things there for prisoners? They were
replacing all those things on prisoners at the City Jail? And what?
Gathering and laundering all their soiled underclothes to return to them?
IT IS PREPOSTEROUS! God damn it. That little inclusion of "1 set
underwear" is a smoking gun in itself, and it proves by itself that the
whole thing was a con. Ruby got conned. We got conned. The whole damn
world got conned.
And I share your outrage about Tom Howard. How dare he propose a motive
for Ruby? Ruby had no memory of shooting Oswald. He didn't know that he
had done it until he was told that he did it by Dallas Police. HOW CAN YOU
HAVE A MOTIVE FOR DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T REMEMBER DOING? For Tom
Howard to have cooperated with Dallas Police to the extent that he did;
for him to have failed to recognize the significance of Ruby's impaired
mental state, and worst of all, for him not to have demanded to see the
images of the shooting and studied them with an open, critical, and highly
suspicious mind is an outrage. All he had to do was look at the images and
actually ask himself, "IS THAT JACK?" and he would have seen that it was
NOT Jack. But, on that matter, I hold all of Ruby's attorneys guilty,
including Melvin Belli.
And regarding the Main Street ramp, why were spectators tolerated there
when it was an incoming ramp? There was no chance they were going to see
Oswald coming in. And, on Commerce Street, the spectators were required to
remain on the other side of the street. So, why would Roy Vaughan allow
them to clutter right around where he was working?
Amy, the whole Main Street ramp thing was meant to be a magnet, a trap for
Ruby. He even said that his curiosity was aroused by seeing the people
there. They were there for him. They had no reason to be there since it
was incoming. And Roy Vaughan had no reason not to consider it
loitering.
"Now, beat it; get out of here! There is nothing to see. Or, I'll arrest
you for loitering."
How hard is it to say that? So, why didn't he?
It's because it was all planned. And some of them probably coaxed Ruby to
go down the ramp. He had no reason to do that. He had no thought of seeing
Oswald- let alone shoot him. But, he was drugged, and he was rendered
highly susceptible to suggestion. Ruby NEVER explained why he walked down
the ramp. And that's because he didn't know why he did it. Somebody just
had to nudge him with a nod, and he would do it. It's how people act when
they are on Scopolamine. Look at this face. Look at those eyes. Can you
see that he is staring? That he looks robotic? That he looks hypnotized?
His whole affect is totally inappropriate for someone who just shot
somebody. Ruby was out of it. He was out of his mind. He was drugged.
They definitely drugged him.
