Oswald was innocent!

Innocent of what? He still killed a police officer in his panic to get out of town.

Which makes some sense if he wasn't the shooter, but realized he'd been set up. He knew he was cooked any way you look at it.

He owned a .38 Special, yet they found a .380 cartridge at the scene. Odd.

No he didn’t. Jack Ruby and roommate Larry Crafard killed Tippit. Crafard had a resemblance to Oswald.

Listen to this eyewitness. She describes Ruby outright.

True. If he wasn’t the shooter and realized he was being framed for it... he might have easily thought the “cop” was someone who was supposed to kill him. And I also wonder about that movie theater, if that was a place he was supposed to meet someone.
But most of all, if he was the shooter, why didn’t he take his 38 to the book depository rather than having to run get it afterwards? Seems like he had no idea he was about to be on the run.

Oswald had double, ya see, and the double was there to fool Tibbit, ya see, it was all planned in advance, ya see, and the double killed Tibbit, ya see, and then the real Oswald, ya see, went the the movies because he wanted to see the picture, ya see, and Oswald was innocent, ya see, it was all a set-up, ya see.
