(55,745 posts)So, when was Lee Harvey Oswald convicted of a crime? The guy died in police custody before he could say much of anything, other than: "I'm a patsy."
That's the term used to describe the fall guy in a criminal conspiracy. Odd thing, the national press didn't follow up much on Oswald's final statements and activities, otherwise they'd have found:
1. Oswald tried to place a telephone call to John Hurt, an active-duty U.S. Army intelligence officer, but was prevented by authorities from completing the call.
2. Oswald wanted to telephone John Abt, a relatively obscure attorney known for defending criminal conspiracies.
3. Oswald had no nitrates on his face, which would've have been present had he fired a rifle.
4. The Chicago plot on the life of President John F. Kennedy was broken up, in part, by a tip from a man named "Lee."
5. The FBI Dallas office destroyed a note written by Oswald minutes after his death.
