(14,626 posts)Mark Lane was the legal representative of Liberty Lobby.
When Hunt brought suit against Liberty Lobby, in the United States District Court in Miami, Florida, the institution retained a local lawyer. The attorney stated that Hunt had not been in Dallas on Nov. 22. Hunt won the case and was awarded $650,000. The Court of Appeals reversed. It sent the case back for a new trial. Liberty Lobby, retained Mark Lane to then take the case.
At the first trial Hunt had appealed to the jurors by saying that when he was accused of killing the president his own children believed he had committed that crime. At the second trial, as at a deposition Mark Lane had taken before trial, Hunt, who kept on changing his alibi as to where he was on that tragic day, ended up with the story that his entire family remained together in his home for 72 hours as they were sadly glued to the television set. Yet his children believe he killed the president.
They were supposedly with him at home the entire period. Hunt appeared to be the only adult in the United States (along with George HW Bush) not to recall where he was when he had heard of the presidents assassination. When he was confronted with the blatant contradiction in his testimony, he was speechless. The jury, however, was not. It awarded the victory to Liberty Lobby, and its forewoman reported to the media that she was convinced that Hunt and the CIA had murdered the president.
To this day, that remains the only verdict in a federal court establishing responsibility for the assassination...
Mark Lane is Jewish by the way, but probably not Jewish enough for your taste.
