Oswald was sane, jury concludes


His convictions in his original state court trial had been overturned by the federal courts for juror bias.


At the state court retrial, he pled no contest to those charges, but asserted an insanity defense.

Oswald pondered that plea in the original trial, but the defense team abandoned the idea after a mental health expert retained by the defense concluded he was not criminally insane.
