Could we have a name attached to your claim that because Shaw was found not guilty of conspiracy to murder JFK that people, who? where?, say that proves there was no conspiracy undertaken in the assassination to kill him?
No one that I've ever read on "my side" of this question of who killed Kennedy has stated that because Shaw didn't conspire with Oswald and Ferrie and others, as Garrison claimed, that that proves no other conspiracy occurred. Certainly no one in this thread. That's not just a strawman argument it's an invisible strawman at that.
Maybe I need to get out more.
To add: the most influential, for good or bad, pro-conspiracy work on the assassination was Oliver Stone's movie "JFK." Which promoted the Garrison claim that Shaw conspired with others to kill JFK. The reason many lone assassin believers focus on the matter is largely because of this (and the fact that Garrison was a disgrace who smeared and ruined numerous innocent lives). This was not some obscure claim here; this was a major movie that was seen by millions around the world.
‘JFK’ is still one of the best political thrillers in American film history in my honest opinion. But I don’t think most people view it as a documentary. It’s very easy to find fact-checks of stuff in the movie around the web. Also, the wikipedia articles on the Kennedy assassination have an anti-conspiratorial tone in my opinion and I assume Wikipedia is where most people go to look up that sort of thing nowadays.
On the bright side, Stone’s film led to the ARRB and JFK records act (that Biden voted for in the Senate).
