>What was the motivation for clipping him?

>I think Matt Koehl and Robert Lloyd were tired of playing second fiddle to Rockwell. Koehl got the number one spot and Lloyd's gun was the murder weapon

>Rockwell ate very well while his members ate canned beans at the barracks. Rockwell also frequently went on vacations on the pretext of ANP business. There were quite a few members who wanted to rebrand the party and move away from the foreign aspects

>One person who didn't kill Rockwell was Patler. He would have had to have left an argument with his wife, then ran a 6 minute mile pace to fire two shots from a rooftop ditch the gun and catch his bus, and somehow know in an era before cell phones that Rockwell was leaving that laundromat at the exact time. He would have also had to have changed his shoes during this time because the tread pattern he wore when he was arrested didn't match the tread found on the roof. The tread pattern was kept out of the courtroom. The murder weapon belonged to Robert Lloyd. Testimony by Lloyd and Koehl, who stood to gain from Rockwell's death, placed the gun in Patler's hands

>A month before Rockwell had survived an assassination attempt and suspected an internal coup. This also exculpated Patler who had left months earlier

>Roy Frankhouser claims the ADL was tied to Patler and Rockwell’s assassination. He claims Patler tried to sell him the murder weapon a month before the assassination. On a different note Karl Allen, the former deputy commander to Rockwell, believed Patler was framed by the ADL and started a John Patler Defense Fund on his behalf
