Just in case anyone isn’t aware of how the Warren Commission was set up. It was agreed that the case should be split up into 6 areas of investigation with each area having a senior and junior lawyer working full-time on it. Except for area 6 which was a one man show. They also had a staff of experts to help them.
Area 1 - To create a timeline between Kennedy leaving the White House on the 21st and his casket arriving back there.
Senior Lawyer - Francis Adams.
Junior Lawyer - Arlen Specter.
Area 2 - To test and assess the evidence for Oswald’s guilt.
Senior Lawyer - Joseph Ball.
Junior Lawyer - David Bellin.
Area 3 - An investigation into Oswald’s life and background.
Senior Lawyer - Albert Jenner.
Junior Lawyer - Wesley J. Liebeler.
Area 4 - An investigation into the possibility of conspiracy (focusing mainly on Russia and Cuba)
Senior Lawyer - William Coleman.
Junior Lawyer - David Slawson.
Area 5 - To investigate Jack Ruby and to search for any links between him and Oswald.
Senior Lawyer - Leon Hubert.
Junior Lawyer Burt Griffin.
Area 6 - To examine the quality of the protection given to the President and to examine the history of law enforcement protection.
Senior Lawyer - Samuel Stern, working alone.
Then they had 11 staff member with specific areas of expertise to undertake various tasks. For example, Alfred Goldberg was an Airforce historian. Richard M. Mosk provided a report on Oswald’s marksmanship and a study of his reading habits. Edward A. Conroy and John J. O’Brien were tax agents looking into Oswald’s finances. Norman Redlich was Rankin’s chief deputy who set himself the task of reading every single document to decide which areas required them.
It’s also worthy mentioning that William Coleman was a black man who worked closely with Martin Luther King so hardly the kind of man who would be asked to join a corrupt commission performing a cover-up over the murder of the president that was pushing for civil rights.
This simply wasn’t a corrupt commission. It just couldn’t have been set up. Many of these man where absolutely Kennedy-worshippers (including Warren himself) The fact that they were so vocal in their criticisms of the CIA and the FBI proves this. Did they make mistakes….of course they did. No investigation can be anything like perfect. But corrupt….not a chance.
