Did Curry forget his lines too?
Any time someone prosecuted for something they didn't do, you have , by definition, a "conspiracy," at least to violate their civil rights. Prosecution requires the active (if not knowing) participation of police, attorneys, secretaries, judges, jailors, even the mail room clerk. That doesn't seem to me to be the sort of "conspiracy" that need concern us here.
I'll defer to your estimation of Mr. Wade since you knew him professionally. But in chapter 10 of 'Reclaiming Parkland' I read this:
"Before Oswald was shot by Ruby, Dallas DA Henry Wade appeared on national television and told tens of millions that Oswald was the killer"

Maybe it is the sort of conspiracy that should concerns us here, both in Dallas, and on the WC. But I think you have a point. Wade was better at preserving evidence than Connick.
