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 ....
