You can always tell when a CTer starts running scared.  They trot out things like "burden of proof" and "convincing a jury beyond a reasonable doubt."  When does this fantasy trial begin?  Until then we need only look to the evidence to reach conclusions about what likely happened as normal people do when assessing any other event in human history.  There is no "burden of proof" outside the criminal justice system which is designed to protect the rights even of the guilty.  Fifty plus years after Oswald's death, the only issue is what happened.  Not whether he would be convicted in a trial where there is a presumption of innocence.  That's the stuff of lazy contrarians playing defense attorney in their mother's basement instead of making an honest assessment of the facts and evidence.

Didn't Delphine Roberts (and her daughter) claim that Bannister and Oswald were acquainted?

Until then we need only look to the evidence to reach conclusions about what likely happened as normal people do when assessing any other event in human history.

So, if two people have a different opinion about what likely happened, who, according to you, would be the "normal" one? Let me guess, the one that agrees with you, right?

There is no "burden of proof" outside the criminal justice system which is designed to protect the rights even of the guilty.

True... so let's just cherry pick the evidence and jump to a conclusion and be done with it, right?

Fifty plus years after Oswald's death, the only issue is what happened.

True again… so how do we determine what actually happened or should we just take your word for it?

instead of making an honest assessment of the facts and evidence.

How in the world are you even remotely qualified to make a determination of what an "honest assessment of the facts and evidence" would be?

Or is this just your way of saying that if somebody doesn't agree with your opinion he's simply not making such an "honest assessment"?

And they made that poor Frank Olson guy take, like, three ounces of it and jump out of a window, didn't they?

And, according to Douglas Valentine ...
   The government admitted that Olson had been dosed with LSD, without his knowledge, nine days before his death. After the family announced they planned to sue the Agency over Olson's "wrongful death," the government offered them an out-of-court settlement of $1,250,000, later reduced to $750,000, which they accepted. The family received apologies from President Gerald Ford and then-CIA director William Colby.

Dear Peter,

Oh well, stuff happens.

At least they didn't dose him with Novichok, Dioxin, or Polonium Tea.

You have just confirmed your utter ignorance.  Any truth claim has a burden of proof associated with it.  The fact that you are trying to sidestep the burden of proving your own many claims about the evidence shows how profoundly bankrupt your position is.

This is Logic 101, "Richard".

"Richard" is the guy who keeps bleating "he was photographed with the rifle" over and over again.

"Honest assessment" my aunt Fanny.
