Mark Lane represented Spotlight Magazine in a retrial of a libel case that had been tossed out on a technicality in Miami in 1985. The case involved allegations that E. Howard Hunt, as a C.I.A. employee, was involved in the J.F.K. assassination. The jury found that Spotlight’s accusation was credible enough for Hunt to lose the case. It was only the second trial ever which took place in this country where the assassination of J.F.K. was the central theme. Lane’s book “Plausible Denial” is about this trial and the evidence presented. Believe what you want, but Mark Lane is legit.

Lane is as legit as Oliver Stone. In other words not very.
BTW the term “Conspiracy theory” goes back to at least the 1880s.
