47 YEARS AGO, JFK WAS ASSASSINATED IN DALLAS, TEXAS; DR. CYRIL WECHT JOINS ANDREA TO DISCUSS THE EVENT

It was 47 years ago today that President John F. Kennedy was gunned down while riding in his motorcade through Dallas' Dealey Plaza. JFK's limousine was open and sparsely protected. Those of us who were alive at the time remember exactly where we were when the news broadcast came over the airwaves. For me, it was CBS' Walter Cronkite who reported to my classroom that the president had in fact died at 1 PM CST at Dallas' Parkland Hospital. School was dismissed until after the funeral.

*TONIGHT on THE ANDREA SHEA KING SHOW, our guest will be Dr. Cyril Wecht, the well known forensic pathologist who's never wavered in his beliefs that this event was not the result of a lone gunman, but that of a conspiracy involving unknown individuals. Wecht, in 1978, was called to testify before congress to explain his problem with the "magic bullet theory," a theory brought forth by Arlen Specter. At the close of the hearings, congress concluded that the assassination was "probably" the result of a conspiracy but never took further steps in the matter. For the most part, the media went to sleep.

On the 43rd anniversary, Andrea and Mark interviewed Dr. Wecht--it was a fascinating interview. This one will be no different. I posted about that upcoming interview back in '06, including many interesting links along with a rather disturbing photo of JFK.

Whether or not you were alive in November '63, most have some sort of an opinion as to what really happened. Some believe the "lone gunman" theory; most, however, feel that something else took place--a conspiracy. Since most of the key players are long since dead, I doubt we'll ever know the full truth. But tonight we'll again delve into the matter with Dr. Wecht, a man who's remained in the forefront of this tragic event in American history. The Dallas Morning News covers the anniversary in this morning's edition.

THE ANDREA SHEA KING SHOW--9 PM ET. Make a note of it. You will not be disappointed.

Here's the "live cam" from the sixth floor of the TSBD, the supposed sniper's nest Oswald purportedly used.

I remember the day and the days thereafter...I was 13 in Junior HS in Prince Georges County (wouldn’t even drive there at 60MPH now). A short deformed teacher we had interrupted the class to let everyone know. I was pissed. I had been waiting for a movie that was coming up a couple of days from then called “Imitation General” with Glenn Ford, and it got prempted for the womanizer-in-chief’s (I only came to realize so much later in life) funeral.

Finally got to see the movie years later and it would have been much better than the agony of those seven odd days or so lamenting over this man.

"magic bullet theory," a theory brought forth by Arlen Specter

Oh wow. I did not know that.

[de.rm]

We collectively took a wrong turn by not actively prosecuting this murder by a gang of thugs.

A trial would link it to ongoing crimes of today.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

Yeah. Arlen Specter is a pretty good example of why we need term limits. LOL.

I love the JFK conspiracy theories....somehow JFK,Watergate,911 and the Beatles breaking up are all somehow connected.

PS...I don’t believe Lee Harvey fired the fatal shot...

Cyril Wecht is a world class self promoter and all-around ego maniac. He absolutely loves the sound of his own voice. The guy will take any position on a case he knows little about if it gets his name in the press.

He's been flogging this Kennedy thing for decades now doing just that. It gets him lots of 'notoriety' which feeds his expert witness-for-hire business. (And he will testify to just about anything for the right amount of cash.)

If you listen closely to the guy, (and he tends to go on and on and on) he is always long on conjecture and very short on substance. Just the kind of witness that ambulance chasing attorneys love to have on the stand to make the jury's eyes glaze over.

Oh crap...here we go again.....Dr. Wecht belived in a lone guman until he decided to get famous and more obnoxious...see my previous posts...

Do you always shoot off your mouth without backing up your claims? Spend some time doing your homework before showing everyone what a big mouth you have.

I’d like to know what is in the sealed records.

This clown Wecht has been a scumbag politician in my home town (Pittsburgh) for 40 years. (He used to be the head of the Pennsylvania Democrat Committee)

He bills himself as a forensic pathologist (Lawyer + Doctor) but what he was in reality was an elected county row officer -- the Coroner. He had a staff that did the work while he ran his own private blood testing labs and did expert witness testimony for hire around the country. He got nailed a couple of times for mixing county business with his private business.

He's another one of those guys who spent 30 years on the government payroll and ends up a multi millionaire.

Big flipp'n deal if some other scumbag politicians call him before a congressional committee. I'm not in the least impressed.

I could tell you lots of stories about the guy and what a two bit phony he is, but from you venomous post, it seems your mind is made up. Enjoy you conspiracy theory and be sure to send Cyril some more money.

May I remind you of one little detail you forgot:

All the charges that were brought against Cyril Wecht recently that you brought up were dropped.

Again, do your homework. You sound envious of the man...

All the charges that were brought against Cyril Wecht recently that you brought up were dropped.

I wasn't even talking about the recent charges which were overkill by an incompetent Federal attorney trying to get her name in the paper.

I was talking about stuff that happened over 20 years ago with this hustler. He was not convicted of criminal charges brought against him by the county DA then, but just like OJ, a Civil jury easily found against him and he had to repay over $200,000 to the county.

In 1983, a civil court ruled against Wecht in this matter and found that Dr. Wecht owed the county $172,410. On appeal the original award to the county was increased to $250,000, yet the court proceedings did not conclude with the appeal. The proceedings in relation to the civil matter continued until 1992 when the county and Dr. Wecht reached a settlement. The settlement resulted in Dr. Wecht having to repay the county $200,000, which he made without showing any contrition.

You sound like a damn sucker. Wecht is a con man and he has you on his hook. Trust him at your own peril. He's a hustler.

[Ditto]

Here's a good article about how Wecht says one thing one place, and just the opposite in another place.
