20. Knowing why Oswald did it or not doesn't change the fact that he did.

His rifle. The recovered bullets and fragments tied to his rifle exclusively. The cartridges tied to his gun exclusively. His uncharacteristic trip back to where he stored his rifle and his transporting the rifle back to work. His flight afterwards from the scene. His shooting Officer Tippit. His flight from that crime. His capture and his lying to police again and again.

Why did he do it? I couldn't say. But that he did it? Yes, that I can say.
