Good Kopp/bad Kopp?

This is an extensive read, but flows like a novel - 'cause you keep saying this must be fiction.
How could there possibly be such blatant FBI misconduct in the Kopp investigation?
Burying a rifle at the scene of the shooting makes no sense. So will they ask a jury to believe that he buried the rifle BEFORE Slepian was shot?
I don't know, maybe so. Should be an interesting trial.

I hope Kopp has a good lawyer. I hope he can bring all of this out in court.

Thank you for posting.
A very prominent local attorney, Paul Cambria, visited James Kopp in France and has agreed to represent him.
If, and when, James Kopp is brought back to the US to stand trial it will be major news worldwide.
This murder happened in my "backyard" so I have been following the reporting very carefully. I remember when the first report surfaced about finding the buried gun. It didn't make sense at the time and it still doesn't.
The Life Dynamics Inc. report raises some extremely troubling issues.

You want facts, the truth? As the FBI says: "We need no stinking facts!".***

Of course, who is going to make the FBI accountable for their sloppiness and corruption? No one in Congress will, no one at DOJ will and GW Bush will not. They like it the way it is.

***Sounds similar to the famous movie line from the corrupt Mexican Federales : "Badges?, We need no stinking badges!"

NOTE: Pro-Lifers were first suspects. Not domestic problems. Not patient problems. Not gambling problems. Not competitor problems. Pro-Life. Also: If his car had Vermont plates, why did the FBI go to New Jersey and confiscate some of his personal belonings the next day?

AMHERST, New York (CNN) -- As family and friends mourned Dr. Barnett Slepian on the day of his funeral Monday, police and the FBI held a news conference to ask for help in finding his killer, offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

(ME:Did this reward “jog” any memories?)

Anyone with information, "even if seemingly unrelated," is asked to contact authorities, said John Askey, chief of police in Amherst, New York, the Buffalo suburb where Slepian was gunned down at his home by a sniper Friday night.

Investigators speculate that the killer, who remains at large, is someone opposed to the abortions the 52-year-old obstetrician-gynecologist performed as part of his practice. Authorities did not reveal any leads in the case during the news conference.

The police chief said the sniper hid in a wooded area near Slepian's home "for an undetermined period of time" before firing one shot from a high-powered rifle. FBI Agent Bernard Tolbert said the agency may include some anti-abortion Internet sites in its investigation
