This might be the case with many people today-Nelson and McClellan-- but it was not the case with me at all.
It took me a very long tome to figure out what I thought actually happened. Like over ten years.
Same here; my suspect list was all over the place for many years until I finally settled on the scenario I currently favor. That's not to say I couldn't change my mind again.
The only time I "fingered" a suspect was that day: LBJ. At 14 I did not know about the CIA and secret societies and hidden "invisible" governments. When I began to study this case in depth in the early 70's I realized that we can never know the "Who", and that it was really all about the "why". That was answered for me, first by Garrison, then really fleshed out by Douglass. With many others in between those two giants. Since CD was brought up I agree with some advice from him: one good place to look is Donald Gibson. A. Sutton sets out the entire BIG picture, predating the assassination.
So to me it's a waste of time to try to say "who did it". Just as seeing Badge man or prayer man or anyone in the terribly blurry photos is merely speculation.
What I want to know is where do we go from here? (I am working with a group who have some ideas but I don't hold out much hope, and at this point it's merely in the "let's try this" category. ).

ps. I did get another lawyer to order JFKU the other day. Very rare achievement.
