IN June 13 issue of the Globe, reader James Roberts persists in stating that Jim Marr's book Crossfire and Jim Garrison's book On the Trail of the Assassins provide evidence of a CIA and US Military conspiracy to kill President John F Kennedy.

They do not.

They are completely inaccurate and Jim Garrison is the most discredited writer in the history of the Kennedy conspiracy theories.

In addition, the famous Zapruder film does NOT show irrefutably that Kennedy was shot from the front.

A detailed examination of the individual film frames shows that he was shot from the rear, as all evidence shoes.

Three shots were fired that day, all of them by Oswald from the sixth- floor window of the Texas School Book Depository.

The 1979 report to which Mr Roberts refers has also been shown to be incorrect about a possible conspiracy.

I would direct Mr Roberts to the research done by Vincent Bugliosi, one of the greatest attorneys in American history, and his book Four Days in November.

He spent many years examining all the facts, theories and evidence regarding the assassination.

Bugliosi did not find one single piece of evidence to support any of the many conspiracy theories.

On the other hand, he cited no less than 53 pieces of evidence which showed that Lee Harvey Oswald carried out the assassination, and acted alone.
