This looks so good. I had planned to attend but Erick will be in the midst of cancer treatment, so we will not be able to attend. Great line up for defense and expert witnesses. This trial will be way better than the one in the mid 80s.

[Scott Kaiser]

Oh Boy! Finally, the fun facts come to light. Like the gun, three spent shells, a photo of Lee holding the gun, the postal money order? That's a joke, evidence that has been presented, published, debated and discussed for over 50 years, lol... along with so many other fact finding elements. I wonder? How much of this is going to be "circumstantial"?

[Peter Lemkin]

[Jim DiEugenio]

This should be good, and its great that Baldwin is a part of it. He gives it some name value.

It should be interesting to see the autopsy evidence post-ARRB subject to cross examination. And its excellent that Spiegelman agreed to testify. That guy has so much credibility on bullet lead analysis.

I think their line up of witnesses took the prosecution by surprise. Because Pappas has not submitted his witness list yet. Yet Larry announced his three weeks ago. And its only a month out. I think Pappas is consulting with others to see how he can counter this line up. He thought he could, like Bugliosi, just present the old WC BS.

[Dawn Meredith]

I was surprised to see Alec Baldwin keynoting. I did not realize he was in any way involved with this case. Jim do you know any background on this?

[Jim DiEugenio]

Alec Baldwin is really a cool guy. He has temper problems but his sympathies are in the right place.

I will never forget his appearance on one of those actor interview shows many years ago. For a final question, the host asked him, "When you get to the pearly gates what are you going to ask St. Peter.?"

Baldwin thought about it, and he then said: "Could that one bullet have really gone through Kennedy and Connally?"

And I think that is why he is doing this.

Please, some reports from persons who saw this live or livestreamed.....

Please, some reports from persons who saw this live or livestreamed.....

It is not happening til next month Peter and I know I will be watching it when it is streamed. And hopefully for CLE credit as well.

Didn't know that about Baldwin Jim. Sounds like he may have studied the case some. Martin Sheen is an other actor who is up on this case. He was part of the spoken play of JFKU in Dallas a few years back, 2013, he 50th. And of course the great Richard Belzer who has three books on this subject.
