It's a lovely, autumnal Sunday morning here in New England, and my mood is as light and cool as the breeze.
Permit me, then, to simplify further my original challenge:
The falsification of Peter Janney's MPM assassination hypothesis would not resolve the assassination/common crime conundrum at the core of this unsolved murder.
Let's assume, for the sake of argument (as opposed to quarrel), that we discover an e-mail from Janney to a literary agent in which the former declares that, since a novel and screenplay based on his wholly fictional account of an MPM hit scenario have been rejected by publishers and studios respectively, he now will use said tall tale as the centerpiece of what he will claim to be a non-fiction account of the murder. (*)
In other words, let's assume that Janney's MPM hit scenario indeed has been falsified.
Would you agree that said falsification tells us nothing of value about how and why MPM was killed?

(*) I must note for the record that my hypothetical itself is pure fiction and should not be read as anything else.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
