The author of Rash to Judgment, the first book to attack the Warren
Commission Report on the assassination of JFK, takes on the CIA's
possible role in the murder, by way of Florida jury trial. It was
Mark Lane who found a CIA conspiracy behind the Jonestown massacre
(he was there) in 1979's The Strongest Poison and FBI complicity in
1977's Code Name "Zorro": The murder of Martin Luther King, Jr.
This time out he offers his most damning version yet of CIA
wrongdoing. Lane assembles his evidence with a trial lawyer's cool
skill and builds to a riveting climax: an eyewitness account of CIA
spy E. Howard Hunt paying off a CIA-backed Cuban assassination team
in Dallas the night before the murder and clearly setting up Jack
Ruby - before the assassination - to kill Oswald, the patsy, who
never fired a shot. Lane's evidence is drawn from a trial he
conducted in Florida in 1978 while defending a small political
magazine, Spotlight, which had lost a $650,000 defamation suit
brought against it by Hunt. The magazine claimed that Hunt was in
Dallas at the time of the assassination while Hunt claimed he was
in Washington, D.C. When the appellate court vacated the decision
and called for a second trial, Spotlight's owner called in Lane to
defend him. Lane saw a case he might well lose, but also his first
opportunity ever to cross-examine top figures in Lane's
assassination scenario. And indeed he deposes CIA directors Richard
Helms and Stansfield Turner, G. Gordon Liddy, Hunt himself - and
strikes gold in CIA agent Marita Lorenz, who accompanied two cars
full of guns and assassins from Miami to Dallas and, under oath,
names all of them, then tells of a follow-up talk with the proud
top assassin who pulled off "the really big one...we killed the
president...." Well-reasoned at every point, Lane's convincing
report sounds like the last word on the assassination - but for an
alternate scenario, see Mark North's Act of Treason (below).
