Over six decades ago, Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. A week later, President Lyndon B. Johnson tasked the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy (commonly known as the Warren Commission, after named after chairman, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Earl Warren) with investigating the assassination.

Well recently, we interviewed a lawyer who worked on that commission: Burt W. Griffin. Judge Griffin was assistant legal counsel to the Warren Commission. He recently authored a book on his experience investigating the murder: JFK, Oswald and Ruby: Politics, Prejudice and Truth. He spoke to us about his initial reaction to the assassination, why the lawyers on the commission wanted there to be a conspiracy afoot, and what he learned as he dug into the case.

If you know the Murder Sheet lore, you probably already know that Jayson Blair is one of our favorite people in podcasting. We’ve gone on his show, The Silver Linings Handbook, and he’s come on the Murder Sheet plenty of times. 

Well, we’d like to encourage our listeners to check out the The Silver Linings Handbook. This is a terrific weekly podcast that we think you’ll really like if you enjoy The Murder Sheet. With his fascinating guests, Jayson tackles so many topics: true crime, mental health, the legal system, underrepresented communities, leadership and more. You never know quite what you’re going to get. But you know it’s going to be interesting and thoughtful. Because that’s the kind of interviewer Jayson is — we know firsthand. 

We frequently quote Jayson’s sayings on true crime, and how to make it a more ethical and compassionate space for everyone. His experience with his own mental health journey has made him into a truly empathetic person, always an amazing skill in an interviewer.

Listening to the Silver Linings Handbook allows us to reflect on our own lives. It gives us insights that we can dwell on, and then apply. It’s truly such a helpful and clarifying show that always challenges us to expand our thinking. Plus, it feels like getting to hang out with your cool friend who introduces you to so many intriguing perspectives and people.

Let’s talk about one sponsor we’re especially excited about: The Silver Linings Handbook with Jayson Blair! 

If you’ve listened to our show, you’ve heard from Jayson — he’s always got excellent insights on true crime. Well, you’re in luck — he’s also got a wonderful weekly podcast that’s all about fascinating conversations with inspiring people. 

The thing about Jayson is that he’s one of the most compassionate and interesting people we know, which definitely helps him out on the interviewing front. Listening to the Silver Linings Handbook feels like sitting around a campfire with interesting storytellers. You’ll get into topics like he criminal justice system, spirituality, and mental health. It’s all thoughtful and human-centric. 

We’ve so enjoyed getting to go on the Silver Linings Handbook to talk about true crime in the past. Jayson always makes us believe in the bright side of true crime, and I always end up endlessly quoting him afterwards. These talks are just so engaging  — as well as being completely unscripted and authentic! 

He’s a person whose experiences with loss and failure have helped him rebuild and shape into the empathetic, kind person we know and love. And that’s ultimately what the Silver Linings Handbook is about. Growing together, understanding one another, and moving forward with greater compassion.
