In 1957 Fensterwald was hired by Thomas C. Hennings as an investigator for the Senate Committee on Constitutional Rights. In the 1960s he was chief counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee under Senator Edward V. Long."[1] Fensterwald once implied that Long was being blackmailed by the FBI.[5]
Work on 11/22
In 1968-1969, Fensterwald and Richard E. Sprague founded a private sector "Committee to Investigate Assassinations," which primarily concerned itself with the Kennedy assassination.Шаблон:Citation needed In 1973, in honor of the 10th anniversary of JFK's death, Fensterwald held what was, according to Peter Dale Scott, the first commemorative conference on assassination of a kind that would become common on the tail end of the 20th century; better known are the organizations and events and followed in the wake of Fensterwald’s successful effort, such as the Coalition on Political Assassination (COPA), the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB), and the Assassination Symposium on Kennedy (ASK) conferences.
In the late 1970s, he was Congressman Thomas N. Downing's favorite to become chief counsel for the House Select Committee on Assassinations but withdrew himself from consideration after objection from Congressman Henry B. Gonzalez.[6][7] In 1984, Fensterwald and James Lesar (with whom Fensterwald had represented James Earl Ray[8]) founded the Assassination and Archives Research Center (AARC).[9]
Counsel to Watergate 'Plumber' James McCord
One of Fensterwald's more notable cases was his unsuccessful defense of Watergate criminal James McCord. He was also connected to other characters on the fringes of Watergate. John Paisley, who was the CIA liaison to the White House Plumbers, was Fensterwald's friend and neighbor. When Paisley died under suspicious circumstances, his widow hired Fensterwald to investigate.[1] Prior to the Watergate burglaries, both Fensterwald and McCord employed a private investigator named Lou Russell.[10]
Personal life and death
Fensterwald had a wife, Patricia, and a son, Bernard.[4] He died of a heart attack in Alexandria, Virginia, aged 69.[4]
