  • The JFK Assassination: A Conversation with Warren Commission Lawyer and Author Burt W. Griffin on Investigating the Murder of a President
    Nov 22 2024

    This episode was originally published on The Murder Sheet's main feed on November 22, 2024.

    Over six decades ago, Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. A week later, President Lyndon B. Johnson tasked the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy (commonly known as the Warren Commission, after named after chairman, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Earl Warren) with investigating the assassination.

    Well recently, we interviewed a lawyer who worked on that commission: Burt W. Griffin. Judge Griffin was assistant legal counsel to the Warren Commission. He recently authored a book on his experience investigating the murder: JFK, Oswald and Ruby: Politics, Prejudice and Truth. He spoke to us about his initial reaction to the assassination, why the lawyers on the commission wanted there to be a conspiracy afoot, and what he learned as he dug into the case.

    Let’s talk about one sponsor we’re especially excited about: The Silver Linings Handbook with Jayson Blair!

    If you’ve listened to our show, you’ve heard from Jayson — he’s always got excellent insights on true crime. Well, you’re in luck — he’s also got a wonderful weekly podcast that’s all about fascinating conversations with inspiring people.

    The thing about Jayson is that he’s one of the most compassionate and interesting people we know, which definitely helps him out on the interviewing front. Listening to the Silver Linings Handbook feels like sitting around a campfire with interesting storytellers. You’ll get into topics like he criminal justice system, spirituality, and mental health. It’s all thoughtful and human-centric.

    We’ve so enjoyed getting to go on the Silver Linings Handbook to talk about true crime in the past. Jayson always makes us believe in the bright side of true crime, and I always end up endlessly quoting him afterwards. These talks are just so engaging — as well as being completely unscripted and authentic!

    He’s a person whose experiences with loss and failure have helped him rebuild and shape into the empathetic, kind person we know and love. And that’s ultimately what the Silver Linings Handbook is about. Growing together, understanding one another, and moving forward with greater compassion.

    Subscribe to the Silver Linings Handbook wherever you listen to podcasts.
