just before he was to begin his trip from the Dallas City Lock Up to the Dallas County Jail, Lee Harvey Oswald asked for a sweater. The five minute delay involved in bringing him the sweater meant that Jack Ruby arrived in time to kill Oswald. What would have happened if Oswald had lived to face trial, and considering the overwhelming amount of evidence, conviction for two counts of murder. The victims being the President of the United States and a Dallas City Police Officer.I think that any smart attorney would advise any client facing such overwhelming evidence to accept a plea bargain. The only option would be life without parole instead of the death penalty. The argument to convince the judge to accept a plea is the difficulty of Oswald getting a fair trail. Of course, since Oswald was charged with violating the Texas murder statute, a local judge would have to make this decision. Then what happens to career of the judge who spared Oswald. Of course that all depends on Oswald accepting the plea.
