" In Rush to Judgment, Lane abused the Warren Commission testimony of Jack Ruby, Oswalds killer, and others like Charles Brehm, an alleged grassy knoll witness, who said Lane took his statements out of context and added a different meaning to them. Lane also omitted the statements of key witnesses like Johnny C Brewer, who observed a nervous Oswald avoid police patrols after the shooting of Officer Tippit.
Lane also demonstrates his technique of sowing doubt where none exists when he carefully places suspicion in the mind of the reader by making reference to the alleged sinister circumstances of the Robert Kennedy assassination. Lane describes how Bobby Kennedy was led out of the Ambassador Hotel pantry by his bodyguard FBI agent . . . William Barry. Barry, according to Lane, changed the route at the last minute. Lane goes on to state that Barry told an onlooker, No, its been changed. Were going this way. At the time of the RFK assassination Bill Barry was a former FBI agent and the decision to change the route out of the Embassy Room was made by Bill Barry and RFK aide Fred Dutton to accommodate the realities of running for presidentRFK had promised to meet with the print press who were in the Colonial Room and the simplest route was through the pantry, the scene of the assassination. Additionally, RFK had asked to go the back way to the Colonial Room instead of through the crowds in the Embassy Ballroom. Yet via Lanes transparent innuendo readers will inevitably be left to wonder if a federal agency was responsible for the assassination of JFKs brother Bobby. It is therefore ironic that Lane has the gall to criticize Vincent Bugliosi for getting an address wrong in his book Reclaiming History. Lane sarcastically wrote, Did the publisher never hear of the term shared by the entire [publishing] industry: fact checker?

I'll leave out the fact that he is associated with the anti-Semitic Liberty Lobby.
You're welcome.
