The detectives working that case (JD Tippet's murder) and the Kennedy Assassination (it wasn't a federal crime to shot the presient at that time) have said that they "had enough evidence to convict Lee Harvey Oswald and get the death penalty"

I saw the interviews with two eyewitnesses last night (Tippet murder) who claimed they saw the killer. Their descriptions of the man they saw were almost completely opposite. A decent defense lawyer would have had a field day with that crime.

Gee, they did a PRETTY GOOD job of tracking Oswald on the streets there in Oak Cliff GIVEN that description ... WHAT do you want to bet the man who watched Tippet get shot IDENTIFIED Oswald in a lineup?

(CONVICTIONS are NOT made on the basis of 'descriptions' but by IDENTIFICATION of the guilty by a sworn WITNESS'S testimony. It ALSO helps that they recovered Oswald's .38 on him and they later matched hammer-marks to that "bored out" .38)
