   I believe that the Dallas Police/ FBI/ Warren Commission's case against Oswald   
   was fraudulent.

   In my opinion, these reasons are the "smoking guns" of Oswald's innocence. Not   
   only were many of the steps taken by authorities ILLEGAL, they do not fall   
   into any category of    
   what a normal homicide investigation would involve.

   when the police were questioning me, they said, “Are you positive, are you   
   positive, are you positive?” I said, “It looks like him, it looks like

   statement.    
   > > Mr. HUBERT. But, what has caused you to weaken in your opinion it was   
   Oswald, as you tell it to me, is the fact that you got the impression that if   
   you gave a positive identification and it proved to be false, that it would be   
   a Federal offense, is    
   that correct ?    
   > > Mr. LITCHFIELD. Yes; they said giving false information to the FBI, and   
   I’m not 100 percent pure positive. I say, “It bears a close    
   esemblance,” and this is all I can say.

   > >

   man and Mr. Gopadze, and back to Marina, it was quite evident there was a   
   harshness there, and that Marina did not want to speak to the FBI at that   
   time. And she was refusing    
   to. They were insisting, sir. And they implied in so many words, as I sat   
   there–if I might state–with Secret Service Agent Gary Seals, of Mobile,   
   Ala.–we were opening the first batch of mail that had come to Marina and   
   Lee’s attention, and we    
   were perhaps just four or five feet away from where they were attempting this   
   interview, and it came to my ears that they were implying that if she did not   
   cooperate with the FBI agent there, that this would perhaps–I say, again, I   
   am implying–in so    
   many words, that they would perhaps deport her from the United States and back   
   to Russia. ( 1 H 410 )
