Forty six years after the death of Kennedy the case against Oswald continues to facinate me. I just discovered I have this 1955 book Whitewash by Harold Weisman among my collection. Unlike so many of the other books it makes a case not for or against Oswald, but as a criticism of the Warren Comission Report. Weisberg emphasizes that had Oswald lived his trial, conducted according to US law, would have been the test of his innocence. http://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/warren-commission-report/chapter-5.html#int...
We now have documents on line about what happened, but it is amazing that no proper recordings or formal transcripts were made of Oswald's many hours of interrogation. Further the fact that given the importance of this crime the Police themselves did not take it upon them to call his preferred lawyer, not leaving him to wonder how he could make a long distance telephone call to locate his preferred lawyer. He was killed before he even had had an opportunity to hire a lawyer. It is an amazing lack of proper Police work as the lawyer claims. This book is still of interest, despite the additional investigation that revealed the same results.
