Did he habitually follow Oswald around to see if he was reading a paper? Did he actually go and look if the papers that Oswald read every day were actually there to be read?

Did Oswald, arriving as he did with Frazier, get there a lot nearer to his starting time? I know when I got public transport I arrived at work earlier than when I drove/was driven because you can pick the time you leave as opposed to be at the mercy of public transport timetables. Perhaps going with Frazier meant he didnt have time to read a newspaper.

I think it is folly to suggest that one person stating Oswald never read a paper THAT morning is proof Oswald shot the President.

WRONG - that is not what Bugliosi is saying.

He is saying that on Friday 22 Nov Oswald conducted himself in some instances that was not typical of him. When these instances are associated together, they help build a case for Oswald's guilt.

Bugliosi certainly knew that the earliest evidence was that Oswald read the newspaper. YOU know that the earliest evidence was that Oswald was doing exactly what he routinely did - read the newspaper.

Yet you excuse Bugliosi - and pretend that someone not following a routine so precisely is evidence of guilt.

Once again - I'm going to ask you ... and I know that you'll evade answering... but since when does something (an "instance") that doesn't show guilt... suddenly show guilt when added to other things that LIKEWISE SHOW NO GUILT?

There's absolutely NO WARRENT WHATSOEVER to point to someone not reading a newpaper on a single day, AND BASED ON ONLY A SINGLE WITNESS - as being guilty of anything at all...

Not even failing to read the newspaper...
