In research for another thread, I came across the following discussion group called Alternate History:
https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/oswald-does-not-ask-for-a-sweater.370537/#:~:text=When%20the%20police%20were%20going%20to%20transport%20Oswald,Oswald.%20Before%20leaving%2C%20Oswald%20asked%20for%20a%20sweater.
The statement that Oswald's request for a sweater before being transferred I believe is accurate as I have heard that before and that request probably cost
Oswald his life as it delayed his transfer long enough for Ruby to arrive in the
basement garage.
That brings up an interesting scenario. I'm going to make two assumptions, one I am almost certain of and the other I think is probable.
1 Oswald would have easily been convicted and sentenced to die in the Texas electric chair for the murders of JFK and J. D. Tippit.
2. Oswald would have used the appellate courts to delay his execution until the Supreme Court vacated all pending death sentences in 1971.
If those two things happened, Oswald might still be alive today, with as much
chance of making parole as Charles Manson did before he died. The fascinating question is would Oswald have ever owned up to his deed? Would he still be denying it? Or would he defiantly just refuse to say anything at all
about the assassination. That is pretty much the approach he took when his brother Robert visited him in jail. I think any of the scenarios is possible but
my gut feeling is Oswald would have wanted the attention and would have spoken
about the assassination to any journalist or author willing to write about him.
Whether he would have continued to deny it or proudly taken credit for it is anybody's guess.

be nice if loon-nut fascists around these hereabouts would work from a more serious position than "opinions and assumptions." McMadman-ites simply have no-class <sigh>
