Researcher: Jack Ruby, Who Killed Oswald, Suffered ‘Acute Psychotic Break’ After Visit from CIA Doc

EXCERPT:

O’NEILL: “West inserted himself into the case. When Ruby was -- the day after the shooting, West approached the judge in the preliminary hearings and asked to be assigned to the case. He was refused by the judge. After Ruby was convicted at his first trial, an associate of West, Dr. Hubert Winston Smith, who was a psychiatrist and an attorney, took over Ruby's defense for his appeal, and he had already discussed appointing Ruby to the case -- or, excuse me, West to the case. As you said, West examined Ruby alone at the jail cell and emerged to announce that in the preceding 48 hours he had had an acute psychotic break from which he would never recover.”
