Mark Lane (author)

Mark Lane (born February 24, 1927) is an American attorney and former New York state legislator, civil rights activist, and Vietnam war-crimes investigator. He is best known as a leading researcher, author, and conspiracy theorist on the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy. From his 1966 number-one bestselling critique of the Warren Commission, Rush to Judgment, to Last Word: My Indictment of the CIA in the Murder of JFK, published in 2011, Lane has written at least four major works on the JFK assassination and no fewer than ten books overall.

Early career

As a law student, Lane was the administrative assistant to the National Lawyer's Guild and orchestrated a fund-raising event at Town Hall in New York City that featured American folk singer Pete Seeger. In 1959, Mark Lane helped found the Reform Democratic Movement within the New York Democratic Party. In 1960, he was elected with the support of Eleanor Roosevelt and presidential candidate John F. Kennedy to the New York Legislature. During his own campaign, he also managed the New York City area's campaign for JFK's 1960 presidential bid. He was a member of the New York State Assembly (New York Co., 10th D.) in 1961 and 1962. In the legislature, Lane spent considerable time working to abolish capital punishment. Lane promised to serve for only one term, and then manage the campaign for his replacement—which he did.
