Reclaiming Misery aka Reclaiming History

[Jerry Freeman]

Never read it. However curiosity has gotten the better of me lately with all the adnauseum posting citing Vincent Bugliosi as the foremost guru of the Warren Report defenders.
I was called out because I accused VB of lying.
I mean he was a lawyer for Pete's sake!
So I glanced at the Amazon books preview of Reclaiming History.
He admits in his introduction that he wrote Reclaiming because there was not enough balance in conspiracy vs pro WC books.
OK.
Also in the intro.....VB says that LBJ was strongly opposed to forming a commission [as an investigating body] that it should have been handled by the State of Texas Attny General's office.
"We can't interfere with local jurisdiction" VB "quotes" Johnson [somehow]
1. Never heard that one before.
2. How did Vince manage to find this out? Was it in the papers?
3. If it were true... then why did Johnson order Kennedy's body & the presidential car zipped back to DC first thing- straight-a-way??

Bugliosi scoffs at the idea of a conspiracy with every other word.
And the lemmings follow suit.
Those who would appear to have had the most motive for the removal of President Kennedy were the least considered of his list of suspects which only contained one name.
There is a youtube that they made called The Trial of Lee Oswald. VB as the prosecution... slams the ghost of Oswald with barely a peep from the defense [Gerry Spence]
With oratory zeal Bugliosi proclaimed that Oswald [after there was a TSBD roll call] "was the only one missing...the only one mind you!"
We know there was no 'roll call' and Oswald was not the only one missing.
With out any objection from the defense attorney who obviously knew nothing about this case.

We know there was no 'roll call'...

Buell Frazier said there definitely was a roll call:

Would this be the same Buell Frazier who also said that Oswald carried the paper bag in the cup of his hand and under his armpit?

He said it on day one and is still saying it to this day?..

So why accept something he said once in 2002 about a roll call and not what he said from day one?

?At the London trial, Wesley Frazier testified that "everyone was present [at the roll call] except Mr. Oswald." (Transcript of "On Trial: Lee Harvey Oswald", July 23, 1986, p.38).

Billy Lovelady told the media back in 1964 that "a roll call was taken of the dozen or so men in my work gang. Only Oswald was missing" (New York Herald Tribune, May 24, 1964, p.10).?

But then there's the other side of the "Roll Call" coin, provided by TSBD Superintendent Roy Truly, whose WC testimony certainly indicates there was NO roll call at all (which has to make you wonder why Billy Lovelady told a New York newspaper in 1964 that there was a "roll call", and why Buell Wesley Frazier told Vincent Bugliosi in 1986 and Gary Mack in 2002 that he remembers the details of a "roll call" as well).

However, this testimony by Mr. Truly doesn't completely eliminate the possibility that a roll call could have been conducted by William Shelley at some point in time on November 22nd, although you'd think if that had been the case, Truly would have at least been aware of it. ~shrug~ ....

JOSEPH A. BALL -- "Did you make a check of your employees afterwards?"

ROY S. TRULY -- "No, no; not complete. No, I just saw the group of the employees over there on the floor and I noticed this boy [Lee Oswald] wasn't with them. With no thought in my mind except that I had seen him a short time before in the building, I noticed he wasn't there."

Fine, you accept Frazier's word for the roll call....

How about the way he described Oswald carried the package?

[Jerry Freeman]

 

They read names off, and you had to answer. 

And everybody was present except for Oswald?
I guess we need to have a roll call to see if there was a roll call
