Yes, I'm glad you pointed that out. Spector was an attorney working with the Warren Commission which investigated and issued the official report on the assassination of JFK.

His "magic bullet" (i.e., single bullet) theory was adopted by the commission and became the federal government's position for many years, enabling the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted as a lone assassin.

In retrospect, this was probably false, and perhaps deliberately so. A later congressional committee reinvestigated the JFK assassination and, IIRC, stated that, more than likely, there were at least three shots fired and least a second gunman involved.

Nonetheless, Spector's notoriety in his capacity with the Warren Commission helped to launch his political career.

Proof that even a broken clock is right twice a day. A Commie acted alone and killed Kennedy, deal with it.
