Death to Justice: The Shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald

Send a textWe've done the work to dig down through the layers of Lee Oswald's shooting - now it's time to put as much of the evidence together to hypothesise how and why it was set up and who in the DPD likely assisted. Join me for the final episode of this epic journey to uncover as much of Lee Harvey Oswald's murder as possible...About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.

Send a textWe're getting close to consolidating all that we've covered regarding Lee Oswald's shooting. But it's important to reconcile Jack Ruby's life after the Oswald shooting until his own, sudden, death in early 1967.Ruby's conduct and state of mind through the Texas legal system was chaotic and difficult to make sense of. It didn't help that the lie detector test that he was granted was poorly administered either. Speaking of lie detector tests, Jack Ruby's most ardent accuser within the Dallas Police Department, Sgt. Patrick Dean would be granted his own lie detector test as well, only he was allowed to write his own questions. Yet he still failed it. However, when the HSCA picked up on this lead during its investigations, no record or evidence of Dean's test could be found. About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.

Send a textJack Ruby was incredibly active over the weekend of November 22nd - from being identified behind the wheel of a pickup truck parked up on Elm Street in Dealey Plaza to being at the Texas Theater when Lee Oswald was arrested & his numerous appearances at City Hall over that weekend. In this episode, we'll track Ruby's movements that weekend and finally lay out how he entered Dallas City Hall in time to shoot Lee Oswald. About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.

Send a textJack Ruby's immediate handling by the DPD was also controversial as it would turn out to be pivotal for his eventual sentencing for premeditated murder the following March of '64. When or if he admitted how he entered the basement to be in position to shoot Oswald has been heavily contested by researchers ever since but I'm pretty sure I have a good idea how it played out ... and to whom. At least Jack Ruby's own transfer to the Dallas County Jail ran like clockwork, though! About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.

Send a textThe shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald took place in a split second but exactly how it unfolded and the immediate response by witnesses has never been fully explored.  In this episode, we'll dissect the exact moment of Oswald's shooting including his wounds sustained and the instant reaction of those surrounding it.  We'll examine why, instead of being rushed to hospital straightaway, Oswald was whisked out of sight of the media and their cameras and, for that matter, how Jack Ruby was clearly concealed by a member of the DPD barely a second after the shooting.  For an event that was over as quickly as it started, there's a hell of a lot to it than most think.  It's fair to say that the shooting of Lee Oswald has never before been laid out as comprehensively as it has been in this episode...About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.

Send a textWhat took place inside and just outside the Dallas City Hall basement in the minutes prior to Lee Oswald's emergence there, and subsequent shooting, is incredibly interesting. Police personnel were transferred away from key posts within the basement, unidentified police personnel were witnessed in the same location and up on Main Street, nobody saw Jack Ruby up there. Join me as we set the scene for how Lee Oswald's shooting took place. About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.

Send a textThe plans for Lee Oswald's transfer to the County Jail finally started to come together on the morning of Sunday November 24. But just what were they exactly and what was done to ensure that the City Hall Basement was prepared for the transfer's start. In this episode, we'll start to focus on the broader movements of both regular and reserve DPD personnel across that morning. In doing so, we'll start to uncover some suspicious and never properly explained actions of some personnel. About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.

Send a textIn this episode, we'll delve into Jerry O'Leary's links to intelligence before and after the weekend of November 22nd.  In doing so, we'll uncover the lengths O'Leary went to for the FBI while in Dallas that weekend including: • the effort to have Dallas Police Chief, Jesse Curry walk back damning, yet astute, comments about the FBI; • the elaborate story he crafted to corroborate the story he broke of Oswald calling for the ACLU in the last minute of his life instep with the FBI's mandate to finger Oswald as the Marxist, Castro-sympathising assassin of President Kennedy, and; • his reporting back to the FBI, and only the FBI, of a meeting he had with a 'CIA man in Dallas' who told him of how Oswald returned from Mexico City with $5,000 in cash. Jerry O’Leary was incredibly busy... and prolific as of the weekend of November 22nd.For all documents related to this episode, check out my correlating series on Substack. About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.

Send a textReporters Jerry O'Leary, Maurice Carroll and Ike Pappas alleged that they were present on the Third Floor of Dallas City Hall to witness Lee Oswald be led into the elevator that took him down to the basement at the start of his transfer on November 24. Each of them would come to tell how they then raced Oswald in the elevator down to the basement by, miraculously, running down stairs, before Oswald and the elevator was. It's an implausible story that history overlooked but when examined closer, it's a laughable side note and prelude to the immediate tragedy of Oswald's shooting that deserves to be pulled to pieces and debunked. About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.

Send a textThere were 46 members of the media present within the immediate vicinity of Oswald's shooting. Yet many were overlooked by the Dallas Police for their investigation and worse still, photographs and film taken of the scene by some of those present has never seen the light of day. In this episode, we'll go over some of the forgotten media personnel there that day and discover, in one interesting account, information that may have helped crack the case open back at the time. About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.

Send a textAlfreadia Riggs... Harold Fuqua... they are just some of the witnesses to the lead up to Lee Oswald's shooting who were completely overlooked by the Dallas Police investigation but had some interesting accounts to share. And while they were interviewed by the FBI and, later, the Warren Commission, their movements on that morning demonstrated how poorly sealed the Dallas City Hall basement was ahead of Oswald's transfer. Also, did you know that Tom Howard, Jack Ruby's first attorney after he shot Oswald, was actually present in the basement at the time of the shooting?In this episode, we'll lay out the geography of the City Hall and its Annex Building to highlight how 'non-secure' both buildings actually were that morning - setting the conditions perfectly for how Jack Ruby would come to shoot Lee Oswald. About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.

Send a textThe alleged threats on Lee Oswald's life, during his last night alive, from a so-called 'committee' who voted to execute him before he made it to the County Jail has also, largely been taken at face value. But how legitimate were they? When we consider that no reports ever surfaced of any kind of angry mob on the streets of Dallas over the weekend of November 22nd and that they (the threats) barely featured in any of the subsequent investigations. If they happened, who was behind them and what did they have to gain? In this episode, I lay out all the evidence regarding the threats phoned into the FBI and Sheriff's Department and the lack of evidence when it comes to the account of Dallas Police Officer Billy Grammer.About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.

Send a textGil Jesus has researched extensively on various aspects of President Kennedy's assassination. His work on the lack of evidence against Lee Oswald for the killings of the president and Officer Tippit - plus his unjust treatment at the hand of the Dallas Police - led me to want to discuss it all with him in greater depth. In this episode, Gil and I chronicle Oswald's time in Dallas police custody, the culture of corruption prevalent in Dallas at the time and how it all made for the perfect conditions for Oswald's murder.Gil's website is https://gil-jesus.com/Gil's YouTube is youtube.com/@giljesus8298About my book, appearances on podcasts and general updates, check out my website.
