As to the statement that there was “no proof” that the memos are forgeries, well, technically that’s true. As far as I know, no one has admitted writing the memos. No one has found a “smoking gun” (like Bill Burkett on video typing away on a computer at Kinko’s the night before the memos were released). And since no one has ever produced an original document in this case (it was all copies) it’s pretty much impossible to “prove” they’re forgeries (or copies of forgeries).John Pearley Huffman

JPH,

Nice post, but you are wrong. One does not need a confession or a murder weapon or even a body to prove that a murder occurred.

In this case it has been established that the memos were not typed (or some expert in the field would have come forward and informed us all as to what kind of machine they may have been typed on.) Additionally, it has been conclusively shown that one can produce the exact same memos only by using a machine which was not available in 1972.

These facts alone -and these are facts- prove that the memos are forgeries. And there is all kinds of other circumstantial evidence, including provenance and content, from which one can come to no other rational conclusion but that they are forgeries. The case has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt- far above the criminal standard of reasonable doubt.
