The Decadent Worker

“Lee Harvey Oswald, CIA, with carefully planted links to both the ultra-right and to the Communists, was designated as the patsy. He was supposed to shoot at Gov. Connelly… Each of the four shooters — Oswald, Brading, Prattiano, and Roselli — had a timer and a back-up man… Hunt and McCord were there to help.” — The Gemstone File by Bruce Roberts

Note: Oswald could not have been one of the shooters, for photographic and eyewitness evidence proves he was on the front steps of the Depository when the President passed. Roselli may have been the source of this data, may have thought Oswald look-alike William Seymour was Oswald. Anyway, it is significant that John Connelly, not JFK, was supposed to be the target.

“It is difficult to understand the gravamen of Mr. Hunt’s complaint given the state of the ruling by the Court and the witnesses available to both sides, Liberty Lobby, Inc., persented no evidence as to Mr. Hunt’s whereabouts on November 22, 1963. No such evidence was presented by the defendant in the case since Liberty Lobby did not know, and does not know, where Mr. Hunt was on November 22, 1963 in view of the fact that Mr. Hunt has given so many different stories as to his whereabouts that day. On the other hand, Mr. Hunt, who would have been precluded from offering evidence as to his whereabouts on November 22, 1963 had there been a stipulation which he honored, presented testimony from himself and others which, if believed, would have convinced the jury that Mr. Hunt was not in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963… Thus Mr. Hunt enjoyed the best of both worlds. He was prepared to and did offer testimony as to his whereabouts on November 22, 1963. The defendant on the other hand, offered no such testimony. That the jury did not believe Mr. Hunt and did not credit his alibi witnesses has apparently created a problem for Mr. Hunt from which he seeks redress inappropriately.” — Mark Lane, In the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 85-6078, Appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida

“The interesting thing was the jury said we were clearly not guilty of libel and actual malice, but they were now suspicious of Hunt and everything he invoked because we brought out a lot of stuff on Hunt… One of the key points in the mind of the jury as far as we’ve been able to tell at Spotlight is that Hunt to this day still cannot come up with an alibi for where he was the day of the assassination.” — Victor Marchetti, “Ex-CIA Official Speaks Out” by Greg Kaza (Full Disclosure, Box 8275, Ann Arbor, MI 48107. $15/yr.)
