Dr. Cyril Wecht, a world-renowned forensic pathologist joins Tim to talk about his long experience with his study of the John F. Kennedy assassination. Dr. Wecht was among the first to raise concerns over the investigation of the assassination. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Wecht about the events of November 22, 1963, the story that was told to the world, and the story that has started to emerge in the 55 years since.  This episode is an Encore Presentation of one of our listeners' favorite episodes. It was originally released on February 18, 2019. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_JFK_Assassination.mp3 Dr. Cyril Wecht has been involved in many high-profile cases, including the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. But the most high-profile case that he has studied and written a book about is the JFK Assassination and the possibility that it was the result of a conspiracy. On a sunny day on November 22nd 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed as his motorcade traveled through the streets of Dallas. That's one thing that everyone can agree on. After that, the official explanation for what happened is only one of the stories that have resonated with people over the years. As history would tell it, as the president rode with the first lady and Texas Governor John Connally through Dealey Plaza in Downtown Dallas, he was horrifically shot in the head, setting off a chain of events that are controversial to this day. Very quickly, the world would learn that the shooter was an employee of the Texas Schoolbook Repository. His name was Lee Harvey Oswald, and he was said to have perched himself at a window on the 6th floor overlooking Dealey Plaza when the president drove by. In six seconds, he fired three shots into the president's car. In a matter of hours, the police caught up with Oswald and it was widely believed that for all intents and purposes, the case was solved. With President Kennedy deceased, President Johnson convened the Warren Commission to conduct a formal investigation into the assassination. By September and October of 1964, just short of a year after the assassination, the Warren Commission issued their report. It was 26 volumes of details and justification of their findings, which was that there was a single shooter, and that shooter was Lee Harvey Oswald. The Commission concluded that he was operating on his own and that there was no larger conspiracy either within or outside of the United States. Dr. Cyril Wecht was the first civilian forensic pathologist to see the Warren Commission's forensic evidence, which would come in 1972. Before that, in 1964, he was among the first to study the 26-volume Warren Commission Report from a forensic pathology perspective.

From the moment he entered politics as the manager of John F. Kennedy's 1952 Senate campaign, Robert Kennedy's political career was subsumed into that of his older brother. With President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963 his grief-stricken younger brother suddenly found himself unmoored politically. In The Revolution of Robert Kennedy: From Power to Protest after JFK (Bloomsbury Press, 2017), John Bohrer describes how Robert Kennedy came into his own in the years that followed. Now bearing the weight of a nation's expectations, Robert faced both the pressure to uphold his brother's legacy and the hostility of the new president. With Lyndon Johnson forestalling any effort to make Robert his running mate in 1964, Kennedy focused his aspirations instead on the United States Senate, winning a seat in New York against a popular incumbent. As Bohrer demonstrates, once in the Senate Kennedy quickly emerged as a political leader in his own right, as he used his outsized prominence to address the issues that mattered most to him.
