Not the best. the staffers did a great job, but i think there were -- there was lying by the fbi and the cia to the warren commission. president johnson had a political motive to get that investigation over quickly. there were lots of things going on under the surface that made the warren commission less than credible in the long run. but lets also remember people were having to come to terms with what was a massive national tragedy. it just shook us all to our foundations. and we were trying to...

A lot of eyes glaze over. patti ann: moving on to the jfk anniversary, what do you remember about the day president kennedy was shot? >> it was so inconceivable to me when another student told me that i didnt simply belief it until i got home and watched it on television. the other sering memory for me is spending three days with my parents watching everything unfold on television at a time when there were three networks, at a time when americans all did gather around the television set as their...

>> scouts honor he is not. >> garrison started bribing witnesses, intimidating witnesses. >> he said i could be made to serve this whole nine-year sentence. or i could be cut loose right away. >> hypnotizing witnesses. >> we decided to give objectifying tools. 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 very say illegal and unethical. >> he had everyone and their grandmother involved in the assa...

Jack ruby killed lee harvey oswald. the evidence showed that he was down there anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds. 5 to 15 seconds. if this is a hired assassin who is supposed to have some advanced information, he is the worlds best cop man. -- con man. >> what type of man is he? >> jack is a very emotional-type person. and as i was saying awhile ago, hes the type man that probably would give you the shirt off his back at one moment and then turn around and do something as nutty as this in the next. ...

Assassins i dont know how kennedy made it to the autopsy table. >> he said jack rubys unlisted telephone number appears in address books belonging to shaw and oswald. >> you take p and o and use a telephone dial, p gives you 7, o gives you 6. >> he just changed the digits around, added digits, added letters. >> you reconstruct the numbers, and then you subtract 1300 and that gives you rubys unlisted telephone number. >> mr. garrison, if the p.o. didnt exist until late 65 how would it be his phon...

>> just what do you think of this verdict? >> i believe that jack ruby was a paid killer to close the mouth of my son, lee harvey oswald. >> the question of whether ruby knew oswald before or was in cahoots to kill him is one of the most important questions. because ruby knew people in criminal activities, there was a lot of investigation about a potential conspiracy. >> ruby would have been one of the most unlikely and worst hit men that the mob could ever get. >> on november the 24th, 1963, le...

That time with oswald. it was a wrestling match down in the basement. one detective picked me up and threw me off my feet and i had to finally regain my footing and begin the report as best i could what was happening there in the police basement. ruby had gotten in by just a very strange quirk of fate. he had timestamped a telegram only three or four minutes before, before he fired and killed oswald. so he had gotten into the basement, although the security that morning had been very seriously s...

What does he look like? >> i cant give you a description now. he is known locally. >> immediately after the ambulance left, somehow i begun to suspect that maybe the shooter was someone who was known to the police. >> do you know this subject? do you know him? have you seen him before? >> yes, i do. >> is he from dallas? >> yes. >> i couldnt tell you. >> do you know what kind of business he happens to be? >> bob, i wouldnt want to say. >> right. >> dallas city hall is normally a public building,...

Shooting. >> my statement will be very brief. oswald expired at 1:07 p.m. >> he died? >> he died at 1:07 p.m. we have arrested the man. the man will be charged with murder. >> who is he? >> the man -- the suspects name is jack rubenstein, i believe. he goes by the name of jack ruby. >> here at associated press, a still picture of the moment, the splint second as the shot was fired. this is the man dallas police have identified as jack ruben stein and this of course is lee harvey oswald. you see ...

This cant be coincidental. the assassin is assassinated in the police station. what in the hell is going on? >> just learned from city hall from an authoritative source, police are working on an assumption there is a connection between jack ruby and lee oswald and that in some manner of speaking, oswalts murder was to shut him up. >> captain just told me ruby said he did it, that it was his gun, and that he had built up a tremendous grievance over the death of the president. >> in jack rubys min...
