It was not the conspiracy theorists who illegally removed Kennedy's body from Dallas so that it could be flown to a military hospital where under-qualified and inexperienced pathologists bungled the autopsy. Edgar Hoover's rush to judgement and his decision to limit the FBI's investigation to Lee Harvey Oswald. Conspiracy theorists are not to blame for the Dallas Police Department's mishandling of both its suspect and the physical evidence against him. Von Pein suggests in the book's preface that for the last fifty years JFK's murder has been "falsely shrouded in mystery" and those pesky conspiracy theorists are to blame. It spends half its time trying desperately to convince readers that the Warren Commission was right all along and the other half-blaming conspiracy theorists for the confusion. And I expected that they would pontificate on the evils of "conspiracy theorists" at every available opportunity and, lo and behold!, they did.īeyond Reasonable Doubt is a standard format lone nut book, cut from the same cloth as Reclaiming History, Case Closed, and Conspiracy of One. I expected they would regurgitate the same tired old arguments and trot out the usual roster of long-discredited witnesses, and they did just that. I expected that authors Mel Ayton and David Von Pein would add nothing to our understanding of the assassination of President Kennedy, and that is precisely what they did. I can honestly say that Beyond Reasonable Doubt fully lived up to my expectations.
