“Following the deaths of President John F. Kennedy and his assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, ABC Correspondents Bob Walker and Roger Sharp anchor primetime coverage recapping the events of the day. Correspondent Bill Lord interviews the detective who had been escorting Oswald when the latter was shot by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. (November 24, 1963)”

I guess this is easy to say 50 years later, but even back in late 1963, you would have to think the Dallas PD would know exactly how important Lee Harvey Oswald is and that they would do everything that they could to make sure nothing bad and illegal happens to him while he’s in their custody. There should’ve been no public presence at the attempted transfer of Lee Oswald from the city jail to the county jail. That whole area should’ve been blocked off from the public.
