The JFK Assassination and American Conspiracy Culture by Jonathan Earle

[DanTex]

19. Comparing JFK conspiracies to the Simpson murder is truly preposterous.

In the Simpson case, there was plenty of direct evidence: blood, DNA, footprint, hairs, glove, etc. The only evidence for a JFK conspiracy is motive: a lot of people hated JFK.

The only people who ignore evidence are the CTers, who persistently ignore the overwhelming evidence that Oswald and Oswald alone shot JFK. This evidence is anything but circumstantional: ballistics matches, fingerprints, one eyewitness, three men standing directly below where the shots were fired who heard shots and even the sound of a rifle reloading directly above them, etc. And then there's the fact that Oswald was the only employee of the TSBD who fled, and later he shot a police officer who was questioning him. Etc.

As to why there was no trial, I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but Oswald was killed shortly after the assassination, and the US does not prosecute dead people. On the other hand, there actually was a trial insinuating a conspiracy, and the jury came back with a verdict of not guilty in less than an hour.
