The Danger Of The Fetzer Assassination School

[LR Trotter]

I cannot believe that an alive LHO could have been convicted in the assassination of JFK. And, to me, it took the murder of JDT to have the chance of an indictment for murder against LHO. With LHO being an informant, as a strong possibilty exists, after the JFK execution in front of the TSBD where he worked, he most likely understood he was in danger and therefore felt the need to be armed with his pistol considering the people being informed on. But, with Captain Will Fritz of the DPD, "one of the best homicide investigators in the country", saying the case was "cinched", the murders of JFK and JDT were for the most part "case closed" on the afternoon of 11/22/'63. My question is whether or not the JDT murder was a pre-planned event, an arrest avoidance by a LHO "double", or a random event?

Forget about "could have been convicted" etc. If Oswald had lived, he would have explained (through his attorney) who he was--i.e., who he believed himself to be, and that would have been the end of it. With Oswald making authoritative statements about (a) why he went to Russia and (b) who he was in touch with and whose instructions he was following (i.e., in the weeks and months leading up to the assassination) we would have the whole story behind his statement "I'm just a patsy." That would shred the prosecution's credibility. And that is why Oswald had to be eliminated, asap.Lee Oswald knew "who he was" and very likely could "prove it" with information that was credible. So all this talk about "would he have been convicted" is, imho, largely irrelevant. (And I haven't even touched upon the other issue of "where he was" and what he thought he was doing on 11/22/63, at the time the motorcade passed by the TSBD) .

Oswald was obviously manipulated in the weeks and months leading up to the assassination. He could--and would--have made public that entire story. I don't see how a "trial" could proceed with Oswald providing full details about his own "back story." That would have exposed the workings of a plot, and would have been politically damaging to the presidency of Johnson. So all this talk about "would he have been convicted" is, imho, largely irrelevant.

Mr Lifton,
My post was #452, which was in response to and immediately followed, and agreed with, post #451, along with some added sarcasm regarding the investigation of the JFK and JDT murders. For clarification, I was quoting one, maybe more than one, reporter regarding Captain Will Fritz being one of the best homicide investigators in the country. I have no knowledge of his police work before or since 11/22/'63-11/24/'63. His "cinched" comment indicated the investigation was over as far as DPD was concerned. But, the person promoting LHO as the lone assassin is on another forum, as mentioned.
