If you wanted to fit up somebody for the murder of JFK, nobody could have fitted the bill in the US better than Lee Harvey Oswald – defected to Russia, communist, linked with Cuba – but “barely a quarter of American’s buy the theory that he killed JFK”. This may decrease if the report by Michael Konopasek of Oklahoma’s Own News 9 catches on. He reported that Oswald’s murderer Jack Ruby had a prison visitor, Mary Gray McCoy. She said of Ruby’s sudden death in custody, “He didn’t have cancer. They poisoned him. Somebody did.” She is old but her long-term memory is reported to be good.
Thailand has its own murder mystery where a government critic has been murdered. Autopsy reports reveal that none of the four people charged was capable of having killed the victim. Hopefully it won’t take 50 years to put this trial on track.
