Jim Leavelle on transferring Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby

[@livingadreamlife1428]

Actually, saying “I didn’t shot anybody” in response to a direct question of a shooting doesn’t imply that you’re aware of multiple homicides.

You know there is a mountain of evidence and dozens of witnesses who saw Oswald shoot Tippitt. You use your common sense man.

Several more who didn't see the shooting itself did at least see a man appearing to flee the scene, holding a revolver, etc., whom they later identified as Oswald. Several more said they saw a similar-looking man near the scene, although they may not have specifically identified that man as Oswald.

In 2017, I was astounded to learn that Jim Leavelle was still alive at the time. In 1963, Leavelle looked like he was in his 60s. So, when I first saw the video of Ruby killing Oswald, back in high school, in the late 80s, I just assumed Leavelle was dead. Turns out he was only 43 when Oswald was shot. After he died in August of 2019, and I saw recent interviews he gave in his 90s, he didn't look much older than he did in 1963.

I will always believe that those two "officers" knew they were leading Oswald to be slaughtered. They may as well have hung a big bullseye target on Oswald. Look at their faces. They were both laser-focused on looking straight ahead and then to the right as the vehicle moves in. They should have been glancing right and left for any suspicious moves. Even after Ruby fires the guy on the left is still holding back like he's waiting for Ruby to get another shot in. This is so obviously convenient. Ruby didn't fire until he was in point blank range. One or both of the "accomplices" should have been able to reach out and grab Ruby's arm. They were in on it, no doubt about it.

Leavelle and his white stetson hat with Oswald in tow. In every photograph I have seen of this event, I have never seen anyone that stands out more than Jim Leavelle.

Captain Fritz & Jim Leavelle left Oswald wide open for an easy shot with Fritz walking 10 feet ahead & Leavelle is facing straight ahead giving Jack Ruby a perfect shot at Oswald. Why wasn't Fritz or an officer in front of Oswald ?? He was an easy target & they could've given Oswald a bullet proof vest they must've saw it coming. Jim Leavelle says to Oswald " If there's any shooting I hope they're as good a shot as you are " Where did Jim Leavelle get the idea Oswald was a good shot ?? Oswald may have been a sharp shooter in 1956 in the Marines by 1959 he was a poor shot according to Sgt. Nelson Delgado so Oswald didn't keep in practice & a stationary target. 8 years later in 1963 Oswald was quite rusty as a marksman. And a moving target is much harder to aim. So that's a weak argument & maybe Oswald was telling the truth when he said he didn't shoot anybody.

WINGGULLSEAGULL: Even if Oswald's Carcano was the worst piece of junk in the world (it was definitely not), and Lee the worst shot, it's an irrelevant argument since firearms experts for the Warren Commission and the HSCA proved that it was the same weapon that fired three bullets in Dealey Plaza, two of which struck the President.

Leavelle was useful in the Tippit Crime scene. He accidentally stated that he witnessed the bullet shells right next to each other on the ground thereby conflicting with the official report that they were randomly discarded by Oswald as he fled the crime scene. He obviously did not get the memo of the lone gunman in time.

I was 20 at the time, Although I didn't see the ruby shooting live just as it happened, I did see it about an hour or two later by video tape. Ruby (reportedly) was heard to say as he fired his gun, "You shot my President, you dirty rat!" I also recall how, on Nov. 22nd, just after Kennedy had been officially reported as having died, people virtually everywhere were stunned into a muted silence. I and about 15-20 others were gathered around a radio, listening to a considerably more detailed account of the shooting in Dallas and the situation in the hospital than was being broadcast on TV, especially by Walter Cronkite. The climax of the report was: "It is now official. John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, is dead!" "For C----'s sakes!" was the reaction of one in our group, who then commented, "Even Castro could run as a Democrat and win." (He was probably right.)

[@gltglt8624]

Oswald simply walked out the front door of the Texas School Book Depository after he was questioned in the lunchroom by a policeman & the building manager, according to Lavelle, with all the films, with all the pictures, with all the people around, it just doesn't add up, that he simply done that, because someone would have seen him, recognizing or got a picture of him, or got him on film, he must have been a slick guy let me tell you, to walk out the front door unnoticed in the opposite direction of the shooting, with all that chaos and police and people running around nobody saw him or got a picture of him, or got him on film, it just doesn't add up?? for some reason?

You need to read Jack Ruby's trial transcript. There was a garage attendant where Ruby parked his car overheard Ruby using the garage phone saying he would be there when Oswald was to be transferred.

If you spend any amount of "real" time looking into this case. Meaning anything other than your tube and your latest JFK Yahoo article. AT THE MINIMUM. You will quickly see. This case has too many inconsistent and odd happenings. That alone gives reason to at least ponder the accuracy of the official report. I dunno who pulled the trigger. But i do know there are way too many different things that happend to place Oswald as the lone assassin. And for this Detective to be that certain either suggest he is lying or completely ignorant of fact surrounding the case.

[@danmullen3076]

Not trying to be disrespectful but Jim was looking to his right, not at Ruby…..he didn’t react quick enough to help Lee….The transfer should have been closed to the public……in the mean time there is a top secret memorandum from the Director of the CIA McCone to the Director of the Secret Service Rowley stating that Oswald was trained by the CIA at Camp Peary and possibly Harvey Point under the cover of Naval Intelligence for assignments in the Soviet Union, and that “ to divulge the specifics of the assignment would not be advantageous at this time “……

[@lebeautymarq8834]

McCone and certain members of the Warren Commission were tricked by certain other members of the Warren Commission! The fake defection of Oswald was just a ruse to frame Russia...and make the other Warren Commissioners believe they were serving the greater good to lie and endorse crazy Magic Bullet theory. The fools probably believed they were true patriots helping their country avoid WW3! It seems Hale Boggs was making moves to come clean in 1970, but then went missing

[@LBNLDC1]

The cops who arrested Oswald claimed he tried to shoot one of them. Oswald could have been including that accusation in his 'I didn't shoot anybody' statement. Or he may have heard about Kennedy's shooting from the lady who ran the rooming house where he stayed. Or he may have held the not unreasonable assumption that he was going to be a patsy for several shootings in and around Dallas including Tippit's. This statement has significance but not in the way Detective Leavelle suggests.

It’s kind of like buying a jigsaw puzzle with a “1000” pieces, but there are 1200 pieces and no matter how you do it there are always pieces that fit with others but don’t fit as a group. You can complete the puzzle but there are always pieces leftover that can interchange but change the picture. No matter how you put the pieces together you get a picture that doesn’t look complete. So, do you ignore some of the pieces and go with the picture you like or go with the other pieces that make a different picture. Or just cut some of the pieces so it looks like you want it to? Whether or not Oswald was a patsy, he seems to have been a perfect candidate.
