Buell Frazier was arrested for the assassination of President Kennedy and taken in for questioning, like Oswald. 

Captain Fritz typed up a confession and told him to sign it. When Frazier refused, Captain Fritz took back the piece of paper.

Where is it now? Is it still in evidence in some forgotten safe in Dallas? Or is this yet another example of destruction of evidence?

It's nonsense like this that tends to deride critics... Anthony Marsh pretends to be a critic, then claims that "Some people say that when more than one person is arrested for a crime that is de facto a conspiracy."

Sheerest nonsense!!!

That's never been a definition of conspiracy, and I quite doubt if Anthony Marsh can cite ANYONE making such a claim. 

A recent example comes to mind where a terrorist drove a car into a crowd of people, killing a number of them. The police arrested one guy, then released him. Presuming that the real terrorist is arrested, do we now have a "conspiracy?"

The definition of conspiracy has nothing whatsoever to do with how many people are detained, or even arrested for a crime.
