It's been 51 years and I'm wondering how many of the witnesses/law enforcement people/potential conspirators are still alive. I am not meaning by this list to impugn anyone's character, just to place these names in context.
I changed my mind and am not going to assign these names to a potential role, feeling that the discussion of potential role of each person might sidetrack the discussion. I think I'd like to restrict the names here to people who were alive in 1963 and had some sort of connection to the actual assassination. I'm ordering the list as I think of people, not for any perceived order of importance.
I'll need lots of assistance and input, I'm sure. I am periodically going to edit this OP to add the names others are contributing.
For ease of use, I am going to order the names in alphabetical order, so subsequent contributors can easily see if the names they are thinking of have already been listed.
