An Uncertain Justice William Thornbro

I ask you to put aside, for now, any preconceived ideas about the assassination and to take a fresh new look at the evidence. What you will see is not a restatement of what is already in print; it is a thorough analysis of the original evidence from the scene of the shooting. The evidence of the shots is presented in detail in chapters one through six, and the later chapters- seven through nine- are an equally in-depth examination of the evidence of the assassins. The text combines research, commentary and interpretation, and important among the revelations is that the Warren Commission s conclusions are not supported very much by its own evidence. Was there a conspiracy? Almost every aspect of this research indicates that there was. As one delves into the evidence, what may have begun as a question of whether Lee H. Oswald acted alone in the shooting becomes a question of whether he was even involved. And what may have begun as a question of whether the shots were fired from the front or from the rear becomes a question of which wounds were inflicted by the shots from which direction, for the evidence really only confirms what many people already suspect; that President Kennedy was killed in a crossfire of gunshots, fired from the right and front as well as from behind.

Ultimately, the intention in this study is to provoke thought. On any issue or question of great importance, it is never a good idea to take it at face value. This is an important aspect in the functioning of any democracy. No one has a lock on the truth; you must look at all of the available information and decide for yourself. Presented as it is in its original form, the intention here is to provide the opportunity to make up one's own mind about its meaning.
