The Revolver
Summarizes the formal and informal statements Lee Harvey Oswald made to law enforcement and other officials while in custody, including his repeated claims of innocence, his alibi for the time of the assassination, and his refusal to cooperate with questioning.
The Aliases “Hidell” and “O. H. Lee”
Documents Oswald’s consistent and repeated public and private denials of owning the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle used in the Kennedy assassination, despite the overwhelming physical and documentary evidence linking him to the weapon.
Actions During and After Shooting
Reviews evidence related to the .38 caliber revolver used to kill Patrolman Tippit, including its connection to Oswald, its recovery during his arrest at the Texas Theatre, and ballistic confirmation of its use in the murder.
Prior Attempt To Kill
Examines Oswald’s use of the aliases “A.J. Hidell” and “O.H. Lee” in connection with the purchase of the assassination rifle and revolver, and in his interactions with law enforcement following his arrest, as evidence of his intent to conceal his involvement in both crimes.
The Attempt on the Life of Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker
Reexamines Oswald’s false claim that the long package he carried into the Depository contained curtain rods, in the context of his arrest and detention statements, further undermining the credibility of his alibi for bringing the rifle into the building.
Richard M. Nixon Incident
Analyzes Lee Harvey Oswald’s complete set of actions during the Kennedy assassination and in the hours that followed, including his movements in the Depository, the murder of Patrolman Tippit, and his attempted flight from the scene, to build a full picture of his culpability.
Oswald’s Rifle Capability
Introduces evidence of Oswald’s documented history of targeted, violent attacks against public officials prior to the Kennedy assassination, establishing a pattern of behavior consistent with his commission of the presidential and Tippit murders.
The Nature of the Shots
Details the April 10, 1963 attempted assassination of Major General Edwin A. Walker, including ballistic evidence linking the same Mannlicher-Carcano rifle used in the Kennedy assassination to the Walker shooting, and evidence directly tying Oswald to the attack.
Oswald’s Marine Training
Examines Oswald’s August 9, 1963 confrontation with former U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon at a public event in Dallas, an early example of Oswald’s hostility toward prominent American political figures and his willingness to engage in targeted, public confrontations.
Oswald’s Rifle Practice Outside the Marines
Evaluates Lee Harvey Oswald’s training, experience, and demonstrated proficiency with rifles to address claims that he lacked the necessary skill to carry out the Kennedy assassination.
Accuracy of Weapon
Analyzes the characteristics of the three shots fired during the Kennedy assassination, including their trajectory, timing, and required marksmanship level, to assess whether Oswald had the capability to fire them accurately from the sixth-floor window.
