Just as it was impossible for the Warren Commission to conduct a complete investigation of the events in Dallas because it operated with the preconceived notion that Oswald was the assassin, individual researchers are also limited at the outset if they assume, without any substantive documentation, that they are going to uncover a conspiracy which led America down the road to national tragedy...
...from the backward jerk of his head and body, that the bullet or bullets which killed him came from in front of the car, perhaps precisely from the spot--known to students of the assassination as the "grassy knoll"--where the man with the rifle is situated. Lee Harvey Oswald, of course, supposedly shot President Kennedy from in back of him, out of a window in the Texas School Book Depository. The filmed evidence of the actual shooting, which certainly seems to make it questionable that Oswald fired the fatal shots, is old material. The man aiming the rifle...
Mark Lane is a lawyer, a former New York politician, who represented Lee Harvey Oswald's interests posthumously before the Warren Commission. He is the author of Rush to Judgment, an attack on the Commission, and is one of the oldest and most established researchers into the J.F.K. assassination.

And indeed this does appear to be a motivating question for many assassination analysts, which may explain why solid, apparently incontrovertible evidence, like the blow up of the Zapruder film...
Politics of Conspiracy. This is a three-day national conference on assassination theory, and it includes some movies. Also lectures, seminars, and experts like former New Orleans D.A.

At B.U. For details call the Cambridge Assassination Information Bureau...

In 1967, two years after his retirement as managing director of New Orleans' International Trade Mart, Shaw was accused by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison of conspiring with Lee Harvey Oswald to kill J.F.K. After many months of noisy proceedings-during which Garrison produced a motley assortment of informants and witnesses-the jury took less than an hour to acquit Shaw in March 1969. Garrison then tried to prosecute Shaw for perjury but was stymied by the federal courts...
