Ok I found the preview part. I dunno if my browser security was set wrong to use the feature; I just recovered from a Crytowall2 virus attack.
You did a good job of covering the high points of how a defense attorney would attack the case against Oswald. (Of course the topic really cannot be thoroughly covered in 1 mere chapter, but you have other fish to fry.)
If I might offer an opinion, you might have been a bit more objective about JFK's character. In addition to his many sterling qualities, he was "born with a silver spoon in his mouth," an inveterate womanizer, and a proponent of covert action (Cuba and Vietnam are two examples on his watch) which invariably involve "collateral damage", used manipulative propaganda tactics to kick start a manned space program, and at least talked tough about communism. I realize that there is a great deal of dispute about how much JFK actually knew about the covert activity of the CIA, but as Truman said, "The buck stops here." (I also realize that your book was not intended to be an examination of JFK's character.)
I look forward to reading the rest of it.
