Kennedy assassination case has been distorted, June 12, 1975, in Washington. Wecht, a pathologist and attorney whose biting cynicism and controversial positions on high-profile deaths such as President John F. Kennedy\u2019s 1963 assassination caught the attention of prosecutors and TV viewers alike, died Monday, May 13, 2024. He was 93.
