You can't logically say that Oswald was just a patsy and then provided the
murder weapon to the shooter. If he supplied the murder weapon to the
triggerman, he would be as guilty as if he pulled the trigger himself no
matter who the intended target was.

You still haven't supplied a rational explanation for how Oswald was duped
into supplying his rifle to the shooter. You used to tell us he brought it
in to sell to somebody at the TSBD but you dropped that one when you
decided to have him supplying the shooting team with a rifle. Now you need
a new explanation for why he would do that which wouldn't make him an
accessory to capital murder but you seem to be having a problem coming up
with one. Not surprising given there is no plausible explanation that fits
the bill.

Just what do you suppose a completely innocent man would do if he were
told to bring a rifle to his workplace knowing that three strangers were
going to take possession of it on a day in which the POTUS was going to be
passing by in a slow moving open top car. Would he dutifully supply them
with the rifle and then carry on as if nothing were happening rather than
alert law enforcement about what was happening. Wouldn't he at the very
least suspect those people were intending to use his rifle to shoot the
POTUS. Wouldn't he at least make sure he was with people he worked with at
the time the POTUS passed by so he would have an alibi. But no, you have
him handing over his rifle to those people and then slipping out of sight
and then fleeing the scene of the crime in the immediate aftermath. As
Bugliosi observed he must have been the most cooperative patsy in
history.

That never stopped you before from making things up like when you used to
tell us he brought his rifle to work to sell even though you have no
evidence of that. You just made the assumption.

So you can't think of any plausible explanation for why Oswald would
cooperate with known killers if he wasn't an accomplice.
Booth was a well known actor who worked regularly at that theater so he
could pretty much go wherever he chose without arousing suspicion. It also
helped that the soldier who was supposed to be guarding the entrance to
the box was at a nearby tavern getting plastered.

The proof is on the table. His rifle. His prints on the rifle, the rifle
bag, and the boxes in the sniper's nest. His shirt fibers on the butt
plate of the rifle. Fleeing the scene of the crime in the immediate
aftermath and gunning down the first cop who stopped him. An eyewitness
who identified the shooter as being the same guy which all that other
evidence pointed to. Stack that up against the "evidence" you have
presented that Loy Factor and Mac Wallace were the shooters. A story
supposedly told by a dead guy.

Which of course you won't quote. Oswald said he was a patsy but didn't say
anything about being threatened. His story was that the cops singled him
out because he had lived in Russia. Got any other statements?

The WCR doesn't rely on witnesses. It is based on hard physical evidence
which can refute or corroborate witnesses.

There is no such evidence. That is something you dreamed up which doesn't

It might be possible he had no motive but what isn't possible that Oswald

None of those statements are evidence. Those statements were not only
unsworn but hearsay. If you want to believe that sort of nonsense that is
your choice but don't buy into that crap and tell us you are in a search
for the truth. You don't want to know the truth. You want your beliefs to
be true.
