Given that his most notable work, Six Seconds in Dallas, was a total cluster @#$%, I'm not too interested in anything else he has to say about the JFKA.

If Six Seconds in Dallas can be credited with anything, it cemented in the public's mind that the WC conclude that the shooting took place in 6 seconds which also necessitated a second shot miss. Neither of those things were conclusions of the WC. Even Case Closed author Gerald Posner fell for that myth. In promoting his own book, he acted as if he was setting the record straight by refuting a conclusion of the WC which they never made.
