Destiny Betrayed: (page 294)
Ok, let s go over his evidence. First up is Richard Case Nagell: (page 294) For instance, Richard Case Nagell had a grenade thrown at him from a speeding car in New York. Nagell brought the remains of the grenade to Garrison and told him he did not think it was wise for him to testify at Shaw s trial.

The Man Who Knew Too Much:
There are several problems with this story. First, Richard Case Nagell had serious credibility issues. Over the years, he repeatedly claimed to have secret evidence regarding the assassination, and nothing ever turned up. Second, there is no corroboration for this grenade story from anywhere - no press stories, no memos, and no one associated with the Garrison investigation talked about this. Third, Jim Garrison himself has a very different story about Nagell and the Shaw trial in his book
One of the crazier stories to come out of the so-called Garrison investigation was that of Slidin Clyde Johnson. He was a fringe candidate running to be Governor of Louisiana. He claimed that he met Clay Shaw, who was using the pseudonym of Alton Bernard, in a hotel room in Baton Rouge. There were two other men in the room - Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald, and Alton Bernard gave envelopes of cash to Oswald, Ruby and Johnson.
It was part of a ridiculous scheme to lure Kennedy to the south.
Sound far-fetched? I tell this story in Chapter 13 of my book,
