Det. James Leavelle - Oral History 2018

[@jamesroberts2115]

A sharp cat at 98 years old at the time of this interview.

[@sandrasanders706]

God bless Jim Lavelle, a survivor of Pearl Harbor, and part of unreal history...

[@MalEvansUSA]

He was murdered days later at his assisted living facility by rogue cia Japanese agents

[@MalEvansUSA]

Lavelle said Oswalds last words were ‘new shoes for junie’. This was conspiracy code word for the conspirators to start code of silence.

This young woman did an incredible job and was very respectful of Jim she should be commended and yes I am aware she was going from.a prepared script what I am commenting on is she did not interrupt him or lead him back to a question. The guy was almost 100 years old he was living history Also thanks for posting this video. I am surprised it has so few views compared to other interviews Jim did. Again great job all the way around rip jim

[@donstaples4812]

Pure bunk!

[@DavidArbuckle-sc8zc]

The contribution that Detective Leavelle made was confirming that he saw the shells at the Tippit Scene and they were right next to each other thus conflicting with the official story that Oswald was walking away and discarding the shells as he fled. Those shells were reportedly initialed and called in as AUTOMATICS. Oddly no shells were included in the evidence for almost a week!

[@KeithWilliamMacHendry]

Big Jim Leavielle just states the facts, no rubbish just facts. Bless you big Jim, you were a good soul & stated the facts. Only Lee Oswald killed Kennedy & Jack Ruby was an opportunist in a moment in time. Peace be with you big Jim, you are a legend & you are loved.

[@Gigi1111Layna]

When you are as ignorant and uneducated as you obviously are. It's best to keep your comments to facts of the story. If you don't know what to say or write. Study up and do research. This old sob was a corrupt sob. His colleague was off the job for a reason. And this guy had one job to do. Parade the innocent of charge, LHO to be silenced forever. Dead men tell no tales. Research up.

[@bobgray1310]

“Reckless manslaughter” (RM) apparently covers situations where: (i) the defendant's act or. omission caused the death of another person; (ii) the defendant was aware at the time of acting. or omitting that a risk of death or serious injury existed; and (iii) the relevant risk was taken.

[@rogerscottcathey]

Hard to put this together with Westbrook story. And the four shots he said the ladies described, when did Tippit get shot in the right temple? While standing? While falling? Or while on the ground? Are there any photos of Leavelle at the Tippit scene? I don't understand

[@Dr.Pepper001]

Tippitt had to be on the ground when the coup de grace (final bullet) was fired. He had already taken 3 shots. Only in the movies do people remain standing after getting shot multiple times.

[@jgunther3398]

A lovely man, and I can tell he enjoyed talking to women still, at his advanced age. In these interviews people ask similar obvious questions and he migrates into the same stories, but the Tippit case was his and I'd like to have known if he had any thoughts about why Oswald had even gone to that part of town and in such a rush.

rest in peace

[@grassyknoll4702]

"goes against my grain".. lol...

[@davidmoss4280]

James Leavelle story about the police officer picking up the spent cartridge shells is incorrect, 3 of the witnesses had picked the 4 shells up from the scene and passed them to 3 different officers, Doughty, Poe and Dhority, I think some of the stories were embellished over a period of time, be it from memory loss or some other reason.

[@glasshalffull8471]

He was a great man, He was not only in Dallas in 1963 but also at Pearl harbour during the attack, He was also lead investigator in the shooting of J.R Ewing also, I can never remember Who Shot J.R, I was just a kid.

[@andrewclack4881]

I think he thinks Lee did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KeithWilliamMacHendry]

That's because Lee did do it.

[@tabithamiller8064]

"How stupid do you have to be to believe in stupid conspiracies???? Just like that twit sir han sir han killed bobby!!!!

[@brianarbenz1329]

This the law _enforcement_ museum? I don't mean to speak ill of Mr. Leavelle as a person, but what does law enforcement have to do with the FBI allowing Oswald access to an open window overlooking the president just weeks after he threatened violence against the government, in person in the Dallas FBI office? And with the Dallas police allowing Jack Ruby to walk up to Oswald and shoot him, hours after telling media they would have the tightest security around their suspect? The whole episode is a story of failure to enforce.

[@joe92]

It's an attempt to document one man's memories. Pretty simple really

[@randyharris3175]

The note Oswald left wasn't signed boy you're in outer space on this aren't you. Oswald wasn't a suspect before this hapoened.

[@brianarbenz1329]

[@andrewclack4881]

are we supposed to believe a police detective handcuffed to the most wanted/hated man(?) in the world. Sees a known (ex?)criminal, even though he knows him, with a gun in his hand, in a police station with the worlds media broadcasting it live and he doesn't think that something is going down.- Maybe jack often walked down Houston St spinning his revolver around his index finger so it was not out of the norm. If I was Leavelle I would have taken that to my grave. It don't make you look good.

[@robertlyons3318]

It's not like Ruby was standing in front of the crowd for a period of time with his handgun out in the open waiting on Oswald to be brought out.

[@leemoore9933]

We will never know. Mr lavelle died under suspicious and mysterious circumstances in his assisted living facility

[@leemoore9933]

@@MalEvansUSA The man was almost 100 yrs old how dam mysterious could it be?? Maybe old age, just my guess. Everybody hear y'all tell it that was even in Dallas that day has died under mysterious circumstances, Lol. give it a break.

[@MalEvansUSA]

@@leemoore9933 he was silenced. The scene in the assisted living facility was staged. He was murdered. The man was silenced. It remains a conspiracy. They murdered Gary Mack and Sid Davis and also Arlen Spector. The list of people who died before their time is astonishing Tom wicker incredible. What about Vincent belogosi ? The man knew too much. F lee Bailey was murdered too. Just last year! It was not natural causes
