  • What would have happened ?

    What would have happened ?
    Some people say the motorcade came to a halt after the first shot was fired. And others say it pulled over to the side of the road and stopped completely. If it did either of these would Oswald not of been able to get a good shot ?
  • The Testimony

    The Testimony
    I told the FBI what I had heard that there were two shots from behind the grassy knoll fence, but they said it couldn’t have happened that way and that I must have been imagining things. So I testified the way they wanted me to. I just didn’t want to stir up any more pain and trouble for the Kennedy family.
