What evidence of a conspiracy would we expect to find?

[Lance Payette]

While looking for something else, I stumbled upon this very thorough overview of the Mafia-did-it theory. A little more about Jack Ruby than I would like because I just can't picture the Mafia relying on him, but a piece that is worth reading. The author, Nicholson Baker, is not just some internet schmoe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholson_Baker.

The reason I briefly became a CT back in the 1980s was because I got hoodwinked by a TV investigative reporter named Jack Anderson who put together a theory that the assassination was a collaboration between the Mafia and the CIA who had a shared interest in getting rid of Castro. I accepted what he was spouting on the face of it without doing proper due diligence. At the time I was woefully uninformed about the assassination which made it easy for me to be duped by Anderson's piece. The more I looked into it, the less convincing it became. What neither Anderson nor any other proponent of the Mafia/CIA partnership in the JFKA is how did either of these entities knew to place Oswald in the TSBD 6 weeks before the JFKA when the motorcade had not even been planned nor the route selected. The JFKA was a crime of opportunity and the evidence points to one man and only one man. When somebody presents some actual evidence Oswald was working with others, I'll start paying attention. Until then, all this conspiracy stuff is just so much hot air.
