From the May-June, 1997 issue (Vol. 4 No. 4) |
Dexter King and Bill Pepper are progressing nicely in their struggle to get the Martin Luther King case reopened. Now they have been given permission to test the alleged rifle used by supposed assassin James Earl Ray. If this happens and the tests come back negative, its onward and upward. In other words, Ray may finally get a real trial. Lisa Pease overviews that case and shows you some of the points that will be brought up if there is one. Dexter and his family are to be congratulated and honored for their support in this painful struggle. We only wish the Kennedy family would do the same.
The Review Board has issued a quite creditable report for their efforts in the year 1996. Probe examines that report in detail for you and gives you the highlights of the Board’s assessment of its progress so far. Thankfully, they have asked for a renewal of one year to complete their task. We instruct you in our Action Alert on how to support that effort.
We pride ourselves in giving our subscribers the best in new research based on the file releases by the Board. We continue in that vein here. Gary Aguilar and Kathy Cunningham complete their two part article profiling how all three examinations of the medical ended up wrong. Along the way they expose some shocking nuggets declassified by the Board, especially from the HSCA. Milicent Cranor adds some sharp and interesting observations on a book by the master of the HSCA medical panel, Michael Baden.
Another major file release has been the collection donated to the Board by Cynthia Wegmann, daughter of Clay Shaw’s civil attorney Ed Wegmann. I have spent the last two months going over these papers and now some light can be shed on what really went into Shaw’s defense. Although its truthful, it ain’t pretty. Also, J. Lee Rankin’s phone contact with the HSCA has also just been declassified. It seems Rankin had some second thoughts about a lot of what the Commission did and advised as to what paths to follow for a new investigation. Finally, Travis Kelly offers another funny panel, this time on Dan Rather.
