In its seemingly never ending attempt to appeal to all tastes, the ABA this year laid on a session for Kennedy assassination conspiracy theorists. There were anoraks aplenty in the audience as a couple of trial lawyers examined witnesses in a mock trial of Lee Harvey Oswald. Unfortunately, Obiter was unable to devote the full three hours to discover the verdict. However, one interesting titbit can be reported. For those who always wondered, here is the FBI list of the top characteristics of a typical assassin: white male, mid-20s, loner, troubled family history, absent father, isolated pre-teens, obsessive, keeps a diary, keen on guns from young age, manipulative, drawn to charismatic characters, seeks meaning in causes, needs routines but opposes authority. Sounds not unlike many City solicitors.
