Lee Oswald- The American Dreyfus

[Lawrence Schnapf]

On this day in 1894, french army captain Alfred Dreyfus was sentenced to life in prison for treason based on specious evidence. Those seeking exoneration of Captain Dreyfus were accused trying to discredit the army and weaken France. Eventually, captain Dreyfus was pardoned and his convicted expunged. The army, however, did not publicly declare his innocence until 1995- 71 years after his death.

 

Many of us believe Lee Oswald is the American Dreyfus.

I hope some will know Emile Zola's "J'accuse !".   

And, equally important, the work of Georges Picquart (who did research on the case and discovered that the Dreyfuss letter was a fake....).  

You' re taking me years and years back to high-school with this one 😇
