(9,314 posts)That fingerprint match was a real turning point for me. A lot of Wallace's history is reported in the book, including his conviction for murder, but that unidentified fingerprint was left in suspense for 35 years. Unbelievable. When Darby made his case, that question as to whether or not Johnson had been involved in Kennedy's assassination was no longer a question to me. Johnson's history with Wallace is painstakingly reported in the book.
Another issue which was once pointed out but left unanswered for years revolved around the Secret Service Protection Plan. People who have discussed the assassination point to pictures along the route the entourage took and specifically pinpoint irregularities that should not have been -- things like completely open windows, windows without coverings, that type of thing. There is a procedure that is followed to protect the President, and all of the discrepancies people noted are in conflict with that plan. McClellan reports in the book that it was Johnson who handed over the Secret Service plan for protecting the President.
Got to go - it is late - I hope you pick up the book and read it for yourself.
