Watch a thought-provoking conversation with former Warren Commission lawyer Judge Burt Griffin, as he shares his experiences in investigating the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Drawing from his experiences as the Commission’s assistant counsel, Judge Griffin uncovers the evidence of whether Jack Ruby was involved in a conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald, or both.
During our webinar, we’ll discuss his latest book, “JFK, Oswald and Ruby: Politics, Prejudice and Truth,” which explores the conflicting ambitions of Oswald and other key players in the events leading up to the assassination. Judge Griffin’s book reveals his initial doubts and how he conducted his investigation of the assassination, sifting through evidence and revealing concealed, withheld, or exaggerated facts. After nearly sixty years of research, Judge Griffin concludes that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination.
