No Case To Answer
No Case To Answer A retired English detective's essays and articles on the JFK 1993-2005 By Ian Griggs "No Case To Answer" is a major advance in dealing with the Kennedy assassination. First, its essays address a host of popular research myths which continue to perpetuate themselves and waste the time and energy of both novice and experienced readers. Beyond that, however, Ian's professional experience surfaces and he exposes many of the key issues of evidence as well as methods which should have been addressed decades ago as part of a real criminal investigation of the assassination. His beat work, operational detective experience and fine investigative sense are all demonstrated in his examination of the Oswald line-ups, the non-existent paper sack, and his assembling of a duplicate of the alleged assassination weapon, eliminating any possibility that the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle was involved in the JFK assassination. It took an English detective to expose the complicity of Dallas police in the death of JFK!

I certainly enjoyed reading this one! 'No Case To Answer' is a fascinating collection of essays and articles on the JFK assassination written by long time researcher and ex U.K. Fraud Squad detective Ian Griggs.
I have met this author in Dallas, as well as attending one of his very interesting presentations. He is a founder member of the British research group Dealey Plaza UK and has edited its research journal The Dealey Plaza Echo. After over thirty years of enquiry into this case Griggs has amassed many specialised lines of investigation and is a respected member of the research community. Make no mistake here, if Detective Sergeant Griggs smells a rat then it's time to call environmental health.
His 2005 publication contains twenty seven chapters on varied topics. With over twenty years experience as a police officer his interests focus on the DPD, it's structure, organisation and its key personnel in November 63. Many interested readers will find the interview with Johnny Calvin Brewer enlightening, giving his witness to Oswald's arrest at the Texas Theatre and discounting the 'second Oswald' arrest at the rear of that building. Another highlight is the authors treatment of the so called evidence from the sixth floor of the TSBD, the Mannlicher-Carcano and the paper thin credibility of the paper bag supposedly used to transport the rifle into the building, which reminds me of the Monty Python drug bust sketch. D.S. Griggs also explores Ruby's Carousel Club and it's staff members. One interview provides profound and intriguing statements to link Oswald's attendance at the club and a frightening link to Ruby's shooting of Oswald.
There are so many facets to this book, written with more than a modicum of wit and wisdom to appeal to avid researchers and those with casual interest.
Three cheers for the publishers, JFK Lancer, and four stars for D.S. Griggs.
