this? as a reporter, the greatest story for us would have been to find out somebody other than oswald did it. and we tried hard to do that, but at every turn with the kennedy assassination things pointed to oswald as not only a shooter but the shooter and the only shooter. at its core, this is a very simple case. i don t know what this is all about. if a person is innocent of a crime, chances are there is not going to be any evidence pointed toward guilt. why? because he is innocent. but with oswald the physical evidence, the direct and circumstantial evidence, scientific evidence, everything points toward his guilt. we ll never know why lee harvey oswald killed kennedy because he s dead. but there are certain things we do know. at the age of 13, a probation officer said he remembered oswald as a truant, troubled boy in need of psychiatric help,
the most recent, most spectacular development in the oswald case involves the cia. it involves, too, the spectacular district attorney of new orleans, the man they call the jolly green giant. do you believe that lee harvey oswald did not shoot president kennedy? i don t want to get involved in the speculation of individuals but i will say that there s no question about the fact that there was a plot and there were a number of individuals involved. in 1967, he announced, i ve solved the case. i found the real assassin. we will make arrests based on that and we will make charges based on that and we will obtain convictions based on that. now, you wouldn t have paid much attention to this, except he was district attorney of new orleans. i spent hour after hour with jim garrison. he has presented his case to me
without which he might turn violent. after starting in high school, he promptly joined the marines. oswald s marine career ended in 1959 when he was dishonor ashay discharged. a month later he was in moscow where he announced his decision to renounce his american citizenship. are you a marxist? i would say i am a marxist. that is correct. that does not mean however i am a communist. he desperately wants to become a soviet citizen, renounce his american citizenship. they turn him down. what does he do? he slashes his wrists, tries to commit suicide. lee harvey oswald had these dreams or delusions that he had been harboring for a long time of an act that would lift him from his obscurity. a squad mate of his in the marines said oswald wanted to do something that 10,000 years from now people would be talking about. it looked to me like a
bertrand is not the person you ve seen as clay shaw? scout s honor, he is not. garrison started bribing witnesses, intimidating witnesses. he said i d be made to serve this whole nine-year sentence or i could be cut loose right away. hypnotising witnesses. we decided to give him objectifying machinery to make sure he was telling the truth. leon. does leon have a last name? oswald. would you say these methods were illegal? i would say very illegal and unethical. and he had everyone and their grandmother involved in the assassination. one time it was oil millionaires. then it was the minutemen. then it was a homosexual killing. yes, sir. do you feel that homosexuality or coercion to homosexuality was a factor in the planning or assassination of john f. kennedy? no comment. at one point he had 16 asassins in deeley plaza.
