Episode 178 Charles I. Spiesel The Zany Accountant Part 1

Episode 178 is the first in a two part series covering Charles I. Spiesel, the zany accountant from New York who testified at the Clay Shaw Trial. This is a classic story of a witness that began with all the potential to sink Clay Shaw.  Professional and articulate on the stand, his testimony for the prosecution was clear and convincing. But it only lasted for a few minutes, as he was destroyed upon cross examination by Irvin Dymond the defense attorney for Clay Shaw.  This story is so bizarre that we won't even try to reveal it in this narrative. You will have to listen to the episode. Some say that if there was only one prosecution witness who destroyed the case, it would be Charles Spiesel. Yet another moment where fact is stranger than fiction in the case of the JFK assassination. Come join us for one of the most interesting story tells related to the Garrison investigation and the Clay Shaw trial. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
