It seems to me that he would be less likely to "spill the beans" when "on the
lamb" than in custody.  Remember, The Conspiracy knew who it was looking for. 
Most conspiracy theorists (including you?) don't believe the Dallas Police knew
who they were looking for until the Conspiracy told them.

And how did The Conspiracy know so quickly that it had to have the Dallas Police
nab Oswald?  

Further, do you believe that this conspiracy was so sloppy that one of the main
characters would just break with the script?  Doesn't sound like the invincible
cabal that conspiracy theorists believe in.

But Oswald was working at the SBD before the visit to Dallas was firm.  And do
you really believe that The Conspiracy had large group of "patsies" in place
all around Dallas, so that one would be waiting along any route JFK took?

Do you REALLY believe that?

If you believe that any of this is evidence of conspiracy, you need to think of
the level of normal human incompetence.  Remember, the Dallas Police simply
never had a case like this before.  The NATION had not had a case like this
before.  (In Lincoln's time, for example, the media were far less numerous and
aggressive.)

Do you really believe the Dallas Police were so competent that they couldn't
screw up a case like this?
