The JFK Facts Podcast: The Warren Commission Dissenter

Author Mark Shaw talks about Senator John Sherman Cooper who balked at the 'lone gunman' theory

The Warren Commission meets, September 30, 1964. Sen. John Sherman Cooper is second from the right.

In our conversation, Mark Shaw, author of the new book, Fighting for Justice, talks about what he learned from an aide to Senator John Sherman Cooper, a Republican from Kentucky and member of the Warren Commission.

According to aide Morris Wolff, Cooper said the Commission set out to blame Oswald alone and refused to investigate other possibilitieis. Cooper disagreed with Warren Commission’s “lone gunman” findings and wanted to file a dissenting view but was quashed by Chief Justice Earl Warren.

Shaw tells the story here.
