(62,325 posts)I worked for a lawyer during the summer around 2000 and one of my jobs was to go through his old files, files that were decades old and throw them out.
I know I was not imagining all the notes that were taken during cases that went back to the sixties. Lol! They even had tape recorders back then, and type-writers. They had secretaries who could take down short hand.
The sloppiness of the investigation of the murder of JFK itself has to be historical.
Imagine you are the chief investigator of the murder of a president and out of all the people in the world who would have given all they owned to be able to question the suspect, you get that historic job. You know that every word, every action taken will be recorded by history.
What would you do? Well, this guy made no effort to record that historic interview that lasted over 12 hours, according to the WCR. Not a single note even. He should have had a tape-recorder AND a secretary taking down every word.
But not to worry, we can be sure he made nothing up, misremembered anything, nor should we even question why he made such a stupid, irrational decision!
