JAMES DiEUGENIO SAID:
As one can see [HERE], Martin [Hay] was correct. The "preponderance of the evidence" is a civil standard. In no way would that be enough to convict someone of a felony, let alone murder.
And then if you show all the holes a good defense lawyer would blow open in the DPD case against Oswald--I mean forget it. This case screams for alternatives, since the WC scenario is so theory driven.
As Bob Tanenbaum said to me, the last thing you want to argue is a theory in front of a jury.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Jim DiEugenio is blowing smoke---yet again.
As if the evidence in the JFK and Tippit cases amounts to only a mere "theory". Give us all a freakin' break, Jimmy.
Apparently to DiEugenio, the guns owned by Oswald, along with the bullets, the shells, the prints, the paper bag, the "LHO Did It" witnesses, Oswald's constant lies, and Oswald's guilty-like actions are things that all add up to just a "theory" with no solid basis in fact whatsoever. All of that stuff was merely manufactured to make Oswald look guilty.
Yeah, right, Jim. The entire batch of physical evidence amounts to just an Oswald-did-it "theory".
Oh, brother. What a crock.
As Jack Nicholson said [in this film] --- "Sell crazy someplace else."
JAMES DiEUGENIO SAID:
You are the one blowing smoke.
I did not say that, Tanenbaum did.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
But you clearly agreed with him. Otherwise, why post Tanenbaum's words? (Duh.)
JAMES DiEUGENIO SAID:
And as anyone who knows JFK 101 understands, the sine qua non of the WR is the Single Bullet Fantasy.
The WC lawyers understood this thoroughly and they wrote words to the effect, that if the SBT is false, it is admitting there was a conspiracy.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
But, of course, that whole point is a moot one---since the SBT was so obviously the correct conclusion for the Warren Commission to reach.
JAMES DiEUGENIO SAID:
The Warren Commission was a twisted travesty of a fact finding panel and a sick perversion of a legal procedure.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Says the man named James who has a bunch of things all "twisted" around himself, such as the following golden gems of fantasy from DiEugenio's archives of the bizarre and nutty:
"[Marrion] Baker never saw Oswald." -- James DiEugenio; July 13, 2015
"Kennedy is murdered at 12:30 PM. Oswald is almost undoubtedly on the first floor at the time." -- James DiEugenio; 2008
"A Mauser was the first weapon found and...a Mauser shell was found in Dealey Plaza." -- James DiEugenio; April 3, 2015
"It's like I have always said, the WC was the Troika: Dulles, McCloy and Ford, with Warren for window dressing." -- James DiEugenio; August 1, 2015
"I think that that whole thing about burning the [autopsy] notes...was just a cover story." -- James DiEugenio; December 11, 2008
"I'm not even sure they [the real killers of JFK, not Lee Harvey Oswald, naturally] were on the sixth floor [of the Book Depository]. .... What's the definitive evidence that the hit team was on the sixth floor? .... If they WERE on the sixth floor, they could have been at the other [west] end." -- James DiEugenio; February 11, 2010
"Specter and Humes understood that the probe was gonna be a big problem. They thought the photographs would never be declassified. So Specter made up this B.S. story about the strap muscles, never knowing that that story was going to be exposed." -- James DiEugenio; July 16, 2009
"I have minimized the testimony of Linnie Mae [Randle]. I do so because in my view it is highly questionable." -- James DiEugenio; 2008
"I don't think Oswald had anything to do with the rifle transaction." -- James DiEugenio; August 5, 2015
"I just proved that CE 399 was not found at Parkland." -- James DiEugenio; June 4, 2010
"At Bethesda, the military severely curtails the autopsy so that no one will ever know the true circumstances of how Kennedy was killed. Also, the FBI switches the bullet found at Parkland Hospital to fit the second rifle found at the TSBD, a Mannlicher Carcano." -- James DiEugenio; 2008
"I think Wesley Frazier was pressured into doing what he did, and the Dallas police forced him into doing it because they needed somebody besides [Howard] Brennan to pin the thing on Oswald." -- James DiEugenio; January 14, 2010
"I don't think Brennan was at any lineup. I think that was all manufactured after the fact. I think Brennan is a completely created witness." -- James DiEugenio; May 27, 2010
"You cannot even prove he [Lee Harvey Oswald] ever had possession of the handgun." -- James DiEugenio; June 25, 2013
"I don't believe Oswald shot Tippit." -- James DiEugenio; January 14, 2010
"JBC [John B. Connally] does not react until around frame 237." -- James DiEugenio; August 2010
"I am not calling [Dallas police officer M.N.] McDonald a liar, the evidence is doing it." -- James DiEugenio; July 26, 2015

Boy, with a record of absurdity like the one presented above (and also HERE), one of the very last individuals on the planet who should be using the words "twisted travesty" when talking about anyone else's conclusions relating to the JFK case is Mr. James DiEugenio.
