Vincent Bugliosi's Inimitable Brand Of Common Sense And Logic Will Be Hard For ANY Conspiracy Theorist To Fight!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Former Los Angeles Prosecutor Vincent T. Bugliosi has believed in Lee
Harvey Oswald's sole guilt in the JFK assassination for many, many
years. Mr. Bugliosi, in 1986, even garnered a "Guilty" verdict from a
sworn-in jury during the 21-hour "mock trial" of Oswald, held in
England ("On Trial: Lee Harvey Oswald").
Mr. Bugliosi's still-in-the-making "Final Verdict", which has now been
re-titled "Final Verdict: The Simple Truth In The Killing Of JFK"
(projected release date of May 2007), will dive head-first into all
aspects of the JFK assassination (per the original 1998 publisher's
blurb about the book) and reveal beyond a reasonable doubt that no
conspiracy existed to assassinate President Kennedy, and that Oswald
(alone) murdered JFK. And given Mr. Bugliosi's reputation for
preparedness, common sense, thoroughness, and logic -- such "Lone
Assassin" arguments will be hard for anyone to dismiss (IMHO). Mr.
Bugliosi, whom I have great respect for, has a habit of getting to the
full truth of any subject matter he chooses to tackle. And I have no
reason to believe that the JFK assassination will be any different in
this regard. "Final Verdict", in this writer's pre-release opinion, is
bound to be quite an eye-opener.
According to Mr. Bugliosi, "Final Verdict" will be a two-volume set of
books, with the main volume containing 1,500 pages. A second volume of
approximately 600 pages will be filled with endnotes. Vince stated in
late 2005 that the manuscript for this massive JFK publication "could
easily fill five volumes". But he has been working hard on condensing
it for the last couple of years now.
The following quotes were spoken by Vincent Bugliosi himself (over a
period of several years), and they give an indication, in brief
"snippet" form, as to what Vincent's general opinions are regarding the
JFK murder and who was responsible for the crime. Not surprisingly,
there's not a single mention in these quotes of how "Badge Man" on the
Grassy Knoll fired the fatal shot. ............
"Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of President
Kennedy. The evidence is absolutely overwhelming that he carried out
the tragic shooting all by himself. .... In fact, you could throw 80
percent of the evidence against him out the window and there would
still be more than enough left to convince any reasonable person of his
sole role in the crime. .... The Warren Commission looked at a
tremendous amount of evidence and concluded that Oswald acted alone.
I've studied the evidence, and I agree." -- Vincent T. Bugliosi; 1986
-----------------------
"Almost all of the current books on the subject deal with conspiracy
theories. I believe there was no conspiracy, and I think I can convince
the average reader in 25 pages that Oswald killed JFK." -- Vincent T.
Bugliosi; April 22, 2004
-----------------------
"Right now I'm working around the clock, almost literally, because I'm
reliving the JFK trial in my dreams." -- Vincent T. Bugliosi; 2005
-----------------------
"The evidence will show that Oswald's rifle, to the exclusion of all
other weapons, was determined by firearms experts to be the rifle that
fired the two bullets that struck down President Kennedy." -- Vincent
T. Bugliosi (via a portion of his Opening Statement to the jury during
the 1986 televised Docu-Trial "On Trial: Lee Harvey Oswald")
-----------------------
Vincent T. Bugliosi (while questioning Dr. Vincent Guinn during the
1986 TV Docu-Trial) -- "There may have been fifty people firing at
President Kennedy that day; but if there were, they ALL missed; only
bullets fired from Oswald's Carcano rifle hit the President; is that
correct?"
Dr. Vincent P. Guinn -- "That's a correct statement; yes."
-----------------------
"I am at work writing an in-depth book on the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy, one that I'm confident will shed a different
light on the tragedy that altered the course of American history." --
Vincent T. Bugliosi; 1991
-----------------------
"Every book that comes out alleges a conspiracy. Someone has got to
debunk these absurd conspiracy theories." -- Vincent T. Bugliosi;
January 1988
-----------------------
"There was no plot, no conspiracy. JFK wasn't murdered by anti-Castro
Cubans, the mob, or rogue CIA agents. In almost 40 years, there has not
been one scintilla of proof tying the assassination to anyone but
Oswald. There have been theories, but no evidence. Oswald had the
motive, the opportunity, and the skill to kill President Kennedy." --
Vincent T. Bugliosi
-----------------------
"I am writing two volumes on the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy. My conclusion is that I believe beyond ALL doubt that Lee
Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy, and beyond all REASONABLE doubt that he
acted alone." (Emphasis his.) -- Vincent T. Bugliosi; 2001
-----------------------
"I'm 95% sure he {Oswald} acted alone; and if you threw 85% of the
evidence out the window there would still be enough to prove his guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt." -- Vincent T. Bugliosi; January 1988
-----------------------
"No one has produced one piece of evidence to support a conspiracy
theory. And the thing about a conspiracy is, you can't keep it secret.
More than 25,000 interviews have been conducted by the FBI, the Warren
Commission, and independent investigators. No one has come up with one
piece of solid evidence {to support a conspiracy theory}. Just theories
and motives." -- Vincent T. Bugliosi; January 1988
-----------------------
"I agree with all of {Gerald} Posner's conclusions -- that Oswald
killed Kennedy and acted alone -- but I disagree with his methodology.
There's a credibility problem. When he is confronted with a situation
antithetical to the view he's taking, he ignores or distorts it." --
Vincent T. Bugliosi
-----------------------
"If there's one thing I take pride in, it's that I never, ever make a
charge without supporting it. You might not agree with me, but I
invariably offer an enormous amount of support for my position." --
Vincent T. Bugliosi; 1998
-----------------------
"I am trying to finish my book on the assassination of President John
F. Kennedy. There is a need for a book on the non-pro-conspiracy side.
My view is that Oswald acted alone and that there was no conspiracy. I
know that somewhere between 75 percent and 80 percent of the American
people believe he was the victim of a conspiracy.
"But I want to tell you a story. I was speaking in Toronto on tactics
and techniques used in the movie "JFK" just after the Oliver Stone
movie was released. After the speech, there was a Q & A, and I asked
for a show of hands of how many believed the assassination was a
conspiracy. It was 80 percent to 90 percent of the audience.
"Then I said that I'd like to have a show of hands as to how many saw
the movie "JFK" or at any time in the past had read a book rejecting
the Warren Commission or believing in a conspiracy. Again, there was an
enormous show of hands. I told them they should hear both sides of the
story before making up their minds. With that thought in mind, I asked
how many had read the Warren Report. Hardly any raised their hands.
"Very few had heard both sides of the story. It was easier and more
romantic to believe in the conspiracy. My book will show otherwise.
Many of the conspiracy theories are appealing to the intellectual
palate at first glance, but they do violence to all notions of common
sense." -- Vincent T. Bugliosi; April 6, 1997

Original Publisher's Blurb Re. "Final Verdict";
Via W.W. Norton & Company, Inc. (Spring 1998):
"Final Verdict", by Vincent T. Bugliosi (With Fred Haines) ..........
"It was the crime of the century, the most shattering public event most
of us will ever live through. Much has been written about that day in
Dallas, but never an account that laid all questions to rest - until
now.
At 1:00 P.M. on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was
pronounced dead, the victim of a sniper attack during his motorcade
through Dallas. That may be the only fact generally agreed upon in the
vast literature spawned by the assassination. Polls reveal that 85
percent of Americans believe there was a conspiracy behind Lee Harvey
Oswald -- some even believe Oswald had nothing to do with it -- and in
this astonishingly-encyclopedic and readable book, Vincent Bugliosi
shows how we have come to believe such lies.
Bugliosi, brillant prosecutor of Charles Manson and best-selling author
of the book, "Outrage", that hammered a chain of circumstantial guilt
around O.J. Simpson, is perhaps the only man in America capable of
"prosecuting" Lee Harvey Oswald for the murder of John F. Kennedy.
His book is a narrative compendium of fact, ballistic evidence,
re-examination of key witnesses, and, above all, common sense. Every
detail and nuance is accounted for, every conspiracy theory revealed as
a fraud upon the American public. While reading it we have the eerie
feeling that we are in Dallas the day a lone gunman changed the course
of history. Mr. Bugliosi's irresistible logic and absolute command of
the evidence shed fresh light on this peculiarly American nightmare. At
last we know what really happened; at last it all makes sense."

.....There are multiple idiotic errors. The most outlandishly-stupid
being the claim that the Warren Commission "denied the plausibility of
a single-bullet theory and concluded that Oswald must have been part of
a larger conspiracy to assassinate then-President Kennedy".
How in the world a silly piece of mis-info like that most-basic of all
JFK knowledge slipped through the cracks of that article (authored by
Anne O'Dell) is anyone's guess.
The article also misstates the HSCA's basic findings, claiming that
Oswald "most likely did commit the murder", when the House Select
Committee actually backed-up the WC 100% with regard to the person who
killed President Kennedy (Oswald).
Weird errors indeed. I only hope the buffoons who put that piece
together didn't totally destroy Vince's direct quotes as well.

debunked by recent books such as Ultimate Sacrifice and Farewell To
Justice. The only purpose,as I can tell is to line Mr. Bugliosi's
pockets. If the man has been working on this book for 20 years,let me
tell you it ain't no simple murder.
David VP
Hate to break it to YOU, "dude" --- but you don't have the slightest
idea what you're talking about. Nor, evidently, do you have the
slightest idea who it is you just bashed via your ridiculously-absurd
"lining his pockets" comment.
And you must be high on copious quantities of Goofy Conspiracy Gas if
you think for one minute that Ms. Mellen's hunk of pro-Garrison tripe
can even begin to "thoroughly debunk" ANYTHING espoused by Vincent T.
Bugliosi. That's like comparing Bob Uecker (Mellen) to Johnny Bench
(Bugliosi). Your "Farewell To Justice" comment is absolutely hilarious!
The CT days are numbered.....with that number being approximately 399
(give or take) as of this moment. Man your lifeboats.

Oh, it'll line his pockets alright... CT'ers everywhere will buy it in the vain
hope that it actually will contain something new - and will then begin laughing
at his misrepresentations, distortions, omissions, and yes, almost certain lies.

That "number" was the same a few years ago...

Question: do you know if Bugliosi still believes there was a conspiracy
in the Robert Kennedy assassination?
Steve
Hate to "rain on your parade" but, yes, this was a simple murder. It
was carried out by one, deranged individual, Lee Harvey Oswald. The
only reason it is considered "aint no simple murder", as you put it,
is because you buffster's have muddied the waters.
