Unfortunately many of the loons and kooks have gotten their impression of how a trial would have played out from the 1992 fantasy book by Walt Brown "The People Vs. Lee Harvey Oswald".
This one-sided treatment has the prosecutor caving and lost for words on every objection by the crack defense attorney. Evidence and proof are casually thrown out like the Big Mac wrappers at a Trump state dinner. Puff of smoke/gunpowder smell witnesses are taken at their word with nary a cross-examination from the in-awe prosecutors. It's like Fox News for conspiracy buffs. Just get a load of this:
"In a brilliantly conceived but workmanlike courtroom drama built around
the testimonies of more than 175 actual witnesses to the assassination ...
[Oswald] goes on trial in late 1964 for the murder of the president and is
acquitted. ... Oswald's fictive defense attorney, youthful Edward Barnes,
the Minnesota kid, riddles holes in the flimsy case mounted by highstrung,
50ish Texas prosecuting attorney Raymond Matthews ...
the narrative, which may engage history and legal buffs, proceeds at the
tedious pace of most actual trials."
Some poor deluded planks see it as American justice itself on trial.
