LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 17, 2008) − Is it time to reexamine the Kennedy
assassination? New scientific evidence indicates that Lee Harvey Oswald did not necessarily act
alone. Simon Sheather, professor and chair of the Department of Statistics at Texas A&M has
revealed that evidence used to rule out a second assassin has fundamental scientific flaws.
Thursday, Sept. 18, he will speak at the University of Kentucky about new compositional
analysis of bullets reportedly derived from the same batch as those used in the crime. As the
45th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination approaches, Sheather's research offers to shed
new light on this national trauma.
Sheather will speak at 5 p.m. in the William T. Young Library Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public. A reception with light refreshments will precede the lecture, beginning at 4 p.m.
"Dr. Sheather's work is an excellent example of the importance of mathematical approaches to real life situations," said Vincent Cassone, chair, UK Department of Biology. Cassone and Sheather were colleagues at Texas A&M.
The event is sponsored by the University of Kentucky College of Arts and Sciences departments of Biology, Chemistry and Statistics and The Graduate School. For more information contact the Department of Biology at (859) 257-4711.
