A sample of David Von Pein's jaw-dropping ignorance of this case (from an Amazon comment thread). As I've suspected, when you get him away from copying/pasting Bugliosi "evidence" from the 6th floor, he is completely at sea on this subject.
TLR says:
Bill Alexander was a nut and a right-wing extremist ('In Dallas, Assistant District Attorney William Alexander snarls on a TV show: "Earl Warren shouldn't be impeached-he should be hanged."' (TIME magazine, 6/14/1968)) "...described his political philosophy as being 'just to the left of Little Orphan Annie and just to the right of the John Birchers.'" (Elmer Gertz) Jim Hosty recalled how "Vince Drain told me a story about how Alexander, in front of his son, shot the boy's dog dead to get a point across. Alexander was feared, not respected, by others...he got too chummy with the local police. He was always out riding shotgun in the patrol cars and executing search warrants with them. In the off-hours, he was out boozing it up with the cops as well." Alexander was a "frequent drinking customer" at the Carousel Club. Though he had assured Ruby that statements he made during his initial interrogation would be "off the record," Alexander used them in the trial anyway. (Assignment Oswald p125) Alexander raided Joe Molina's house in the middle of the night and terrified his family into thinking he was a suspect in the assassination.
A small sampling of "Dallas justice."
I could be wrong (since I know absolutely NOTHING about Assistant DA Alexander), but I'd bet a small sum of cash that most of the above trash talk against Bill Alexander should probably be placed in the bulging file known as: "More CT Myths".
