I guess you are unaware of this stuff.
1.) Joan got the original print from the Harrison archives. She then brought the two to a computer technician who ran it through the latest fingerprint software, which theoretically at least, minimizes human error or bias.
2.) Her book is going to be, at least partly, a bio of Mac Wallace. And also a review of the literature on this guy.
I mean, I hope you are aware of how the whole Mac Wallace stuff started? It began with J. Evetts Haiey, a rightwing extremist nut from Texas and his book A Texan Looks at Lyndon. That book was published in 1964. And its a blatant attempt to attack Johnson from the right since Haley favored Goldwater. The John Birch Society backed the book and it sold literally tens of thousands of copies a week as the election approached. (This is in Part 2 of my Fetzer piece at CTKA.)
Then later, when Billy Sol Estes got in legal trouble, he then built his whole story about LBJ in on the JFK case through Haley. But he said he had tapes of the murder arrangement with Wallace. Except, even though they would be worth millions, no one has ever heard them.
So, like many things in the JFK case, you have a very biased and narrow source (Haley) then being expanded upon by a man who simply has little or no credibility. Which is what almost anyone who studies the Billy Sol profile concludes.
