Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

This is Jack Ruby being led to the courtroom to be arraigned on November 24, and it says that in the AP caption. I realize that it's small, but if you get a magnifying glass, you'll see that that is what it says. Note that that's his own shirt. It isn't jail clothes.  It appears to be a nice shirt too, doesn't it? And notice how well groomed he is. And notice how his hair is all slicked down, those long, long strands that go straight back- if you actually believe that he had such hair, which he didn't. 

 But, from the standpoint of the storytelling, and remember, I am a storyteller, because I am a screenwriter, this story stinks. That's because he was supposedly in a melee with the police, where they were pouncing on him and struggling with him and dragging him somewhere without handcuffing first- the first and only time in police history. So, don't you think his hair would have gotten mussed. Here is how he supposedly looked when they led him upstairs. 

 Now, let's go back and forth. Scroll through this. Really get it in your head, his tranformation.

Why is his shirt unbuttoned? Presumably because they got ripped off during the melee, right? Because: if it's not that, then somebody deliberately unbuttoned them for effect. But, we know for a fact that they weren't ripped off because look: they're there.

His shirt is buttoned. You can see the three buttons. So, that means in the earlier picture, it must have been unbuttoned for effect. But, who would have done that? Certainly not Ruby. And how did his hair get so slicked down? Did he do that? He couldn't have because he was in handcuffs. So, that means they must have brought in the jail cosmetologist to do it. But, that gets us to his jail uniform that he was changed into after the arraignment. 

So, that's the uniform they gave him. Note that it's nothing like a prison jumpsuit. But, why did they give it to him at all? That's his mug shot, but mug shots are usually taken in street clothes. 

To demonstrate, here is Steve McQueen after he was arrested for drunk driving in Anchorage, Alaska. Notice that he is waring his own shirt. 

So, this outfit they had for Jack Ruby was not a jail outfit. It's not like they had dozens of them in various sizes with which to dress their prisoners. It's something they must have acquired just for him. They didn't have it for Oswald. But: think, think, think, think, think. They must have acquired it in advance. They didn't acquire it after 11:20 on Sunday, November 24. They must have acquired BEFORE 11:20 on Sunday, November 24. That means they had prior knowledge that the whole thing was going to go down. The very existence of, and the showcasing of, because that's what it was, showcasing, of this outfit tells you that the whole shooting of Oswald was planned, that it was prearranged; and I don't mean by Jack Ruby.  So, in effect, Ruby being put in these clothes tells you something, and they might as well have had it printed on the shirt.
