Knoxville, Tennessee (JFKASSASSINATION) Today we continue our look at "Enemy of the Truth: Myths, Forensics, & the Kennedy Assassination" by Sherry P. Fiester.

The book, published by JFK Lancer Productions & Publications, Inc. of Southlake, Texas, includes a Foreward by Jim Marrs, & is available at www.amazon.com & www.jfklancer.com.
Today we begin our look at Sherry Fiester's final chapter in "Enemy of the Truth" titled THE WITNESSES.
Sherry begins this chapter with a discussion of her interview with Lee Harvey Oswald's widow, Marina*.
*Marina Oswald Porter was born in Severodvinsk, USSR in 1941 and moved to Minsk in 1957 where she studied pharmacy.
She married Lee Harvey Oswald on April 30, 1961 and the couple moved to Dallas, Texas in Feb. 1962.
After the assassination and death of her husband, Marina was under secret service guard until completion of her testimony before the Warren Commission.
In 1965, Marina married Kenneth Jess Porter. She became an American citizen and currently lives in Dallas.
The interview took place at Marina's home in Texas in 1995.
Marina said she remembered taking the famous photographs of her husband in the backyard of their apartment which shows him holding the Manlicher-Carcano rifle and the pistol used to shoot police officer Tippit.
Sherry Fiester admits...
"(I) knew very little about the Kennedy assassination" and..."kept silent and tried to affect the look of one knowledgeable of one of the most significant events of our lifetimes..." as she listened to Marina talk.
After Marina learned that Sherry's expertise was in the field of forensics--"blood spatter interpretation and crime scene reconstruction," she asked....
"Did my husband kill the President?"
Sherry answered....
"I don't know who killed the President. But, I do know it wasn't Lee Oswald unless he was firing from the front of the President."
Sherry Fiester writes....
"She (Marina) was the first person I met that was directly associated with the Kennedy assassination. I found her a complicated, outspoken, fascinating and intelligent woman. I liked her immensely and still wish we could have stayed longer."

Personally, I like to consider myself a strong believer in “innocent until proven guilty”, which is to say that I will never definitively state that Lee Harvey Oswald or anybody else was responsible for the assassination. There are too many missing puzzle pieces and most of the evidence is circumstantial rather than direct. As someone who got interested in the JFK case since 2010, I have been pro-conspiracy and pro-lone gunman at times, and by the mid 2010s, I began remaining on the neutral side, having no opinion, though I’m prepared to accept the WC findings. There’s just something I cannot put my finger on that is preventing me from calling it a lone gunman and calling it a day. I personally am fascinated by the theory that the unidentified "prayer man" filmed on the steps of the Texas School Book Depository during the assassination by Dave Wiegman, Jr., of NBC, and James Darnell, of WBAP-TV, was Oswald. So far, the man has never been ID and Marina, Oswald's wife has expressed her belief it was him, as though it was a matter of fact. If the films are released and it turns out not to be Lee, then fine, I eat my words and accept the lone gunman conclusion. Indeed, I myself admit that a small part is unsure but unless/until high quality copies of the Darnell film are released and can confirm or eliminate Oswald as PM, this theory is the only JFK Conspiracy Theory that could be true IMHO. It deserves more attention and those films need to be released to end the debate or resolve it. Seeing the images (seriously, google "Oswald Prayer Man Stan Dane" or "Oswald Prayer Man Darnell Wiegman" if your curoius) . The Prayer Man film evidence is the biggest thorn in my side; that causes me the greatest problems. So I struggle with the film evidence. Regardless, I have learned to treat the subject matter with more respect; researchers should remember there are real families involved, that these three men who died that November weekend (Kennedy, Tippit and Oswald; don't forget Marina and her children were innocent victims in this whole thing) are people’s relatives, their flesh and blood, and not just names for amateur sleuths to fuss over.
