This is an excellent question and I want to focus solely on that. The evidence we have is
exactly what we would expect the evidence to be if Oswald was the assassin. We have a paper
trail of evidence that establishes Oswald was the owner of the rifle found on the sixth floor. We
have photos of him with that rifle. We have his palm print on the underside of the barrel. We have
fibers matching his shirt on the butt plate of the rifle. We have shells that could only have been
fired by his rifle found at the location several witnesses saw the rifle. The only two recovered
bullets were also proven to have been fired by that rifle. We have Oswald's fingerprints on the
top of the box that had been stacked to form a rifle rest oriented as they would be if he was
facing in the direction of fire. We have a bag near that location large enough to hold the
disassembled rifle that had both Oswald's finger and palm prints and fibers matching the
blanket he used to store his rifle. The only witness who saw the gunman fire the final shot
IDed Oswald as the shooter. What more does anyone need to be convinced Oswald was the
shooter? What is missing from the body of evidence that we would expect to have if Oswald
was the assassin?
Any objective analysis of he above facts would lead a rational person to conclude Oswald was
the assassin. The only way you are not going to reach that conclusion is if you don't want to
reach that conclusion. If that is your mindset you are going to find whatever excuses you need
to dismiss each and every piece of evidence that indicates Oswald was the assassin. This is
what Gil does. This is what Benny and his idol Mark Lane do. It's what conspiracy hobbyists
have spent the last six decades doing. They are so determined to find an alternative truth of
the assassin that they don't even realize they are accomplishing absolutely nothing with their
silly efforts. When they die, nothing will have come from their life long quest. History will still
identify Oswald as the assassin and no one else. It will also record that there was a large
segment of the population that didn't accept that Oswald acted alone, but it will never identify
any accomplices because there simply is no evidence that there were any.
