New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison 1967

New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison began an investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy in the fall of 1966, after receiving several tips from Jack Martin that a man named David Ferrie may have been involved in the assassination. The end result of Garrison's investigation was the arrest and trial of New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw. Garrison's key witness against Clay Shaw was Perry Russo, a twenty-five year old insurance salesman from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. During the trial, Russo testified that he had attended an "assassination party" at David Ferrie's apartment, where Shaw, Ferrie, and Lee Harvey Oswald had discussed killing President Kennedy.
Russos version of events has been questioned by some historians and researchers, such as Patricia Lambert, once it became known that part of his testimony was induced by hypnotism, and by the drug Sodium Pentothal (sometimes called "truth serum"). Indeed, the early version of Russo's testimony, as told in the DA memo, before he was subjected to Sodium Pentothal and hypnosis, fails to mention an "assassination party" and says that Russo met Clay Shaw on two occasions, neither of which occurred at the "party." However in Jim Garrison's book On the Trail of the Assassins, he says Russo had already told of the party at David Ferrie's before any "truth serum" was admitted. The jury didn't see enough evidence to convict Shaw. A verdict of not guilty was given.

So you clearly have more research to do if you think it didn't happen. As far as Garrisons book, on the trail of the assassins... you need to look at Garrisons own notes and papers that were released after he died. Read through those and you will see just how much he lied in that book, and throughout the whole investigation. What's really disgusting is many people who believe in a conspiracy feel they need to defend or believe Garrison for some reason. Maybe there was a conspiracy, but Garrison definitely didn't find it.

Garrison was a nut! Clay Shaw was found NOT guilty. Garrison was a pitiful DA.

[@markrymanowski719]

@@Asidebar Vital witnesses were not called to court because they were in prison. Shaw lied in court. Garrison convinced the jury of conspiracy. It is thanks to him we have the Zapruder film to see. It was needed in court to prove his case. Nothing nutty about Garrison. A man like him should've been President.

[@LoneNutter1]

If Garrison had the evidence against Shaw there would have been a greater likelihood of a conviction. Your description of Clay Shaw as a criminal is wholly and shamefully inaccurate. Garrison became so extreme during the investigation, many of his high-profile supporters became disenfranchised and distanced themselves from his bizarre and illogical beliefs. Make Lane and Mort Sahl were two of his biggest advocates and they abandoned Garrison because of his heavy-handed tactics.

[@WilliamLeeson1]

This man had consideable courage and ability. Not one American President hàs had the courage to DEMAND that ALL the files in the Assassination be released. It is now 69 years since this appalling crime. So what is the problem? If you look at Oswalds interview . Can you honestly say that this man looked as though he had committed this terrible crime.

[@agamemnon419]

If you read the CIA documents available at the National Archives you will see that Shaw was a CIA operative. In fact he was a top CIA Operative in New Orleans. As for Garrison being unscrupulous is nonsense. It was the defense that was unscrupulous.

John Brighton I’m really having trouble nailing down your idea. Garrison states he had information that would expose the conspiracy. Just like the conspirators. Wouldn’t it make sense then that the killers would go after people who could do damage by blowing up the conspiracy? I don’t think you have a real grasp on what you’re stating. There were no conspiracy killers, Garrison made shit up as he went along and ultimately embarrassed himself. Oswald was the lone planet and assassin.

My question has always been what was the interaction between Oswald and officer Tippet that led to the death of Tippet? Why did Tippet approach him. Did he know him? How could he identify him? Would like more details on this.

[@leeturton9254]

Tippet was sacrificed to make Oswald appear even more guilty in the presidents murder...and a cop killer...to be shot on sight... and if he made a run for it at the theatre he would have been gunned down.... also tippet and Oswald were in on the plot somehow but obviously neither knew their true roles... this whole operation is designed by military intelligence... and so everybody is following orders like good little soldiers... it's the only way you get the key players into position... everything is by design and planned...the only hiccup is not killing Oswald at the theatre.... that's when jack ruby's brought in

Garrison was probably the most evil man in New Orleans history, which is saying a lot. He ruined Clay Shaw's life, a totally innocent man, while letting Clay Bertrand get away. Clay Bertrand was real. He died a few years ago in a Louisiana nursing home. Bertrand worked for Marcello. Shaw certainly did not. Shaw was one of the greatest figures in French Quarter history. Garrison used his homosexuality to ruin him, as he did throughout his career. Garrison was deeply involved in the mafia and especially used men's sexual habits to blackmail, coerce, humiliate, and ruin them. Anyone who even slightly offended him or got in his way, would be ruined. The most petty, vindictive man, the most power-hungry, and the most wrong about JFK.

This guy is nuts! So person A knows person B. And person B knows person C. So he claims therefore A must have known C! Also, read into the background of his case... he changed stories, drugged and hypnotized 'witnesses', almost all his witnesses changed their stories many many many times. Russo at first never talked about this meeting with Ferrie, Shaw, and Oswald. It wasnt until after the DA told him their theory and then drugged him did he start to tell that story, and even then it didnt fit the description of Shaw. The drug addict originally said another name, then later when Garrison promised to get him off charges of Parol Violation, he started saying he saw Oswald and Shaw (after the trial Garrison did dismiss this charges). Garrison says here he has many witnesses with put Ferrie and Oswald together. Why didnt he have any at the trial then? He wasnt able to come up with a single solitary credible witness! It's so sad for how he treated Clay Shaw too. This guy had his life destroyed based on nothing. In fact the only reason he went after Shaw was cause Ferrie died. Garrison originally interviewed Shaw and dismissed him saying he was a good person and not part of it. Then Ferrie died and he only had Shaw left. So sad

[@fobrien1]

if your argument against information and facts is to say HE IS NUTS then you have a serious problem . in the video above garrison was NOT ALLOWED by law to discuss any part of the case pertaining to shaw . where as shaw could go on tv and spout any BS he wanted , as long as it didnt hurt his defense of course . garrison was attacked for having no case when NBC attacked him in their white paper the case of jim garrison and he offered no argument against the lies that were told . he was given 30 minutes live on tv to refute the lies that were told on NBC. he made no effort to waste time countering lies about him as he had only 30 minutes , he went after the liars later via the courts . he COULD NOT talk about the case against shaw as it was still pending and he was not allowed to say anything that might prejudice shaws defense . so he used his 30 minutes instead trying to get people to question the so called facts . garrison subpoenaed many witnesses , and many subpoenas were blocked by other states , for example a certain ronald reagan helped block extraditions . by the way garrison called several witnesses from clinton alone , one was a sheriff called manchester . he noted oswald in a queue in a voter registration drive , he stood out as it was a black voter registration drive . he also noted a fancy car nearby and questioned the driver . the driver told him he was connected with the trade mart , he identified shaw as the driver. ferrie who ALSO STOOD OUT for differing reasons was in the car also according to these witnesses . this is where you tell me ALL THE WITNESSES ARE NUTS OR LIARS lol . "He wasnt able to come up with a single solitary credible witness!" bravo sierra this is the part WHERE YOU DECIDE who is credible and who is not lol lol . oswald is seen in a photo in the civil air patrol with ferrie standing just feet away . when oswald was working out of the newman building on camp / layayette we know that ferrie had also frequented that building . ferrie frequented the same newman building that oswald had an office in . and ferrie was seen in clinton in a car with shaw with oswald nearby . this is where you tell me its all coincidence or lies lol . in regard what you call "DRUGGING" if you cant relay the true facts properly and accurately then you should consider NOT ATTEMPTING IT AT ALL . garrison had truth serum given to willing witnesses , no one was forced .other methods to ascertain if a person was honest was to give them a polygraph . and even now people are hypnotized to see if they can remember more details . and the man injecting the truth serum was the same man , the same coroner that said ferries death was suicide . this is funny as some of your fellow lone nut advocates had cited the coroner as being honest and correct in his assessment of ferries death . but they didnt know he administered the truth serum . and as such in attacking garrison were attacking the credibility of their own witness . it seems clear that you get your information about garrison from nbc or cbs and not from proper research . you cite a drug abuser yet you cant name him ? . you state many things yet you offer not one shred of proof to support your claims . so how about you offer direct quotes and links to those quotes so they can be checked out for accuracy . oh posner or bugliosi saying something is so DOES NOT MAKE IT SO . proof is your only currency , at the minute you are in chapter 11 . shaw lied in court , judge haggerty said SHAW LIED THROUGH HIS TEETH ....HE PUT ON A SHOW . shaw lied about being clay bertrand shaw lied about knowing oswald shaw lied about having cia connections what the shaw trial jury were not allowed to see and hear was the testimony of officer al habighorst . he booked shaw . haggerty wrongly refused to allow habighorts testimony on the grounds that shaw did not have his lawyer present when questioned . certainly back then you were not entitled to a lawyer for routine booking questions such as WHAT IS YOUR NAME ? , WHAT IS YOUR ADDRESS ? , EVER USE ANY ALIAS ? . habbighorst in booking shaw asked if he had any aliases , shaw answered YES , this is because garrison kept quiet about the clay bertrand alias so shaw had no reason to fear giving his alias . shaw signed several booking sheets with his alias CLAY BERTRAND listed on them . these can be seen online . it was clay bertrand that asked dean andrews to represent oswald . dean andrews committed perjury on this matter and was found guilty . now we have proof that shaw was bertrand , that he knew oswald because he called andrews asking him to represent oswald . and shaw lied further in saying he had no cia connections , dick helms of the cia would later admit that shaw was a cia contact . and cia agent victor marchetti said that the cia was helping shaw at that time . so shaw is a proven liar , andrews is a proven liar . NBC used two convicted felons torres and cancler who lied on tv . garrison had them come to a court room and again state their lies ON OATH and for the record THEY DECLINED . a third man fred lemanns stated that garrison offered to help him financially etc if he said certain things . lemanns later admitted he was told to lie about garrison . and of course our pal dean andrews THE CONVICTED PERJURY was on that show . but thats not all . walter sheridan played a big part in that program , that hatchet job . this is the same man that went to new orleans and threatened perry russo NOT TO IDENTIFY SHAW . then he offered russo bribes like a nice new well paid job in california . what he didnt know was that russo had told garrison and garrison had put a wire on sheriden and recorded every word . sheriden told russo that he would walk into a room and shaw would be there , and that he would LIE and say THATS NOT THE MAN HE SAW . sheriden interfered with threatened and blackmailed and offered bribes to a witness in a murder trial . so the real liars , and cheats , blackmailers etc are revealed and garrison is not among them . now you are free to attack me and call me a liar and a nut lol .

@@fobrien1 Thats fine if he couldn't talk about the case, I talk about the things he DID mention here. But the case ended over 50 years ago, so we know what he presented in court that he might not have been able to discuss here. He said he had MANY witnesses linking Oswald and Ferrie, so where were they in court? Please explain that. Please explain why he has said everyone in the French Quarter knew Shaw was Bertrand, but his 2 investigators (Ivon, Sciambra) couldnt find a single person and came to the conclusion he didn't exist or wasn't known to anyone there. Garrison went crazy subpoening everyone, then would make up charges against them. Of course they are going to block his madness! I would have hated to live in NOLA during his authoritarian reign as DA! He just randomly went after people! But again, why didn't he subpoena all these hundreds of people who he said knew Shaw was Bertrand? You got to explain that one. The Clinton part of the trial was mostly all KKK members, you do know that right? The town Registar of Voters Mr Palmer and town Marshall Manchester where the first to come forward with this story. Both were KKK, and Palmer held the title of Exalted Cyclops. Tensions were EXTREMELY high there. CORE was holding a voter drive there for minorities, and what better way to destroy CORE than to come up with a story on it being linked to the assassination? I'm not going to get too much into it, you can Google and read more if you want, but others investigated and found the stories constantly changed of the witnesses. I think someone who is more credible is someone who doesn't constantly change their story, like Russo and the rest of Garrisons witnesses. Russo's story changed REPEATEDLY! His interview to the Baton Rouge State Times showed he never talked about some assassination meeting, never mentioned Shaw, Bertrand, or Oswald! Same with Garrisons own investigator Sciambra! Sciambra's report right after first interviewing Russo never mentioned any conspriacy meeting, Shaw, or Bertrand! How the hell do you explain that?!?!? The WHOLE POINT of Russo as a witness was to connect all these people in a meeting discussing the assassination... YET HE NEVER MENTIONED ANY OF IT! Seriously, explain that one. Cause then suddenly after being given drugs, hypnotized, and brainwashed by Garrison by showing him pictures of Shaw and Oswald, he then suddenly started telling this incredible story. Yes Ferrie and Oswald were in a CAP meeting, and no there is no proof Oswald ever worked out of the Newman Building. Garrison himself accepted Ferries death as a suicide. And you want to talk about Al Habighorts?!? Really? Let's do that, that's an easy one! The court spent an entire day hearing the evidence of him saying Clay Shaw told him he used Bertrand as an alias, and the Judge found it to be BS. He called Al and Garrison liars. Shaw claims he never said that, even another officer (Butzman) in the room admitted he never heard Shaw give that alias name to Al! Butzman was never more than 5ft away from Shaw, and said the ONLY question Al asked him was how to spell his name. Al also changed his story, latter saying he couldn't even remember where the card was signed by Shaw, and why he was refused to allow his lawyer to be with him despite the fact Shaw asked for him. And finally, why the heck would you believe that Shaw just openly offered up that he used that alias?!? The WHOLE case against him was trying to prove Shaw was Bertrand, so why the heck would he just freely say that?? Supposedly you believe Shaw was some super secret spy assassin, yet you think he is so stupid as to openly admit he used the name Bertrand? Come on man, think! As far as saying I get my info from NBC, no. I read the reports, I've read the ENTIRE transcript of the Shaw trial, and any original documents. I've never read through a single assassination book, regardless of what side it takes, because that author is trying to push a narrative. And when someone is trying to push a narrative, they leave out facts that are contrary to that narrative. So you need to get information from primary sources. Because to me it sounds like you just watched some half baked KZbin documentary and get all your facts from there. It is really surprising the stuff you don't know. Please, read the actual documents. As far as not listing sources? Do you want me to give you an entire work cited page in MLA format? This is a KZbin comment. Plus, you listen less sources than me! You just randomly claim, with no evidence, things like Oswald worked in the Newman building. You failed to give your source for that (even though I know what it was). You failed to give your source for Ferrie frequenting that building, you failed to give a source or any names of the Clinton part of the case, you failed to give a source for pretty much everything in your comment in fact! Dean Andrews being charged for perjury is not proof Shaw was Bertrand. Come on man, do you really not understand this stuff at all? It becomes more and more clear you just believe any and every absurd claim you hear that supports your narrative. Please, read the actual original documents and think for yourself. Don't believe me, don't believe anyone. Read the ALL documents on both sides of the argument and decide for yourself.

From the information we have obtained concerning this subject, I'm almost positive from my contacts that they would have known or heard of a CLAY BERTRAND. The information I received was negative results. On February 22, 1967, I was approached by "BUBBIE" PETTINGILL in the Fountainbleu Motor Hotel, located on Tulane Avenue, whom I had earlier contacted about CLAY BERTRAND.

It becomes more and more clear you just believe any and every absurd claim you hear that supports your narrative." bravo CONVICTED . i believe from memory it was on 3 counts of perjury . im sure you understand the difference between being charged and being convicted . so what it proves is that in this regard andrews was a liar , that reflects badly at the least on his testimony in this regard . and reflects on the testimony of shaw . are you seriously telling me that if you were sat on a jury and were presented with testimony only to then find that the person testifying was convicted of perjury on multiple counts that you would NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR CREDIBILITY ? . " Please, read the actual original documents and think for yourself. Don't believe me, don't believe anyone. Read the ALL documents on both sides of the argument and decide for yourself" bravo yep i do all that AND MORE .

There you go again taking the discussion away from the extremely difficult question I asked based on what you posted. This isn't a contest of who can drop more facts or cite sources. I asked which conspiracy theory do you support "backed up by historical facts". If asked "what time is it?" you don't need to give an explanation on how the watch was built.

Garrison loved the attention.

[@kimmiller6509]

Mr. Jim Garrison IS a true American HERO🏆🇺🇲 He "went to bat"; for our country! LOOK what he got for that! 😢 We need more people- like this brave man! RIP 🕊️ Jim Garrison 💖

[@suejuede525]

Jim Garrison was so close....

[@chestrockwell6807]

close? not exactly. it took a jury less than an hour to reject all his loony claims.

[@fobrien1]

@@chestrockwell6807 you need to read and research properly and stop being an idiot . the jury did not reject the evidence that garrison presented . they said that they did not believe that garrison had proven shaws guilt . of course the jury were denied vital information and were lied to by shaw . several witnesses including a sheriff testified in the trial that they saw oswald standing in a queue in a black voter registration drive , and that shaw was in a car close by with another man who from their description had to have been ferrie . we know thatvjudge haggerty himself stated that shaw lied through his teeth , that he put on a show . we now know that shaw was cia connected , something he lied about . we know that shaw signed not one but three booking documents with his alias clay bertrand on them . we know he told officer al habighorst (who booked him ) that he used the alias clay bertrand . but you have no problem with shaw ? your problem is with garrison ? go figure . the jury did not believe that garrison had proven the case against shaw , that in no way means they think shaw was a good and innocent man . they are legally obligated to bring in a not guilty verdict if they believe the case against the accused was not proven .they did their job .however they were polled in regard the evidence they were presented with and they all agreed that garrison had proven to their satisfaction that a conspiracy had occurred .

[@chestrockwell6807]

@@fobrien1 What's the source of your research? Oliver Stone's absurd movie? Shaw was absolutely innocent and had he not been Garrison's ridiculous case would not have been rejected in less than an hour. The fact you are repeating debunked claims about Clay Shaw signing Clay Bertrand is a pretty good indication your "research" is seriously flawed. Most of the public wrongly thinks there was a conspiracy so I'm not sure what relevance you think that has.

[@fobrien1]

​@@chestrockwell6807 so you dont know that several clinton witnesses including a sheriff testified under oath at the clay shaa trial ?. shaw signed not one but three documents on which his alias clay bertrand was noted .in fact he himself gave that alias to officer habbighorst whos job was too book him . now habbighorst was in on this big plan to frame poor innocent shaw yes ? . judge haggerty can be seen quoted and on film talking about shaw . again if you dont know this you really should not be here or anywhere related to jfks assassination posting comments . and once again as you patently either just dont get it OR you simply chose to ignore it but the shaw jury was polled after the verdict . they acquitted shaw because they did not believe the case against him was sufficiently proven , thus they then legally must acquit . a jury acquitted OJ simpson , you are not going to tell me he is innocent now are you ?. further the polled jury acknowledged that they felt and were satisfied that garrison provided sufficient evidence of a conspiracy . just that they were not satisfied that it was proven that shaw played any part in that . i did not say clay shaw signed the name clay bertrand , i said i told the officer who booked him that he used the alias clay shaw , and that he signed atleast 3 documents clearly showing his alias of clay bertrand . this was before shaw knew of the significance of his alias to garrison . the fact that you even use the word DEBUNKED speaks volumes about you .that is a term invented by lone nut advocates and used as a means to attempt to discredit people who argue to the contrary . and the fact that you would even be so stupid as to immediately post here that the research of ANYONE whos stance differs from your MUST have came from the movie jfk only sadly for you highlights your stupidity . now i will be only too happy too view YOUR PROOF .ready when you are .

Amazing, moral man.

[@chuchioner]

You cynical man , boy whatever you are. i already posted some info, maybe you didnt see it and i dont feel like continuing this further. I stand by my facts, you stand by yours..wait a minute you have told me anything relevant to what your so graciously defending..once again am i talking a mirror? and i think i will continue to do because i know you will respond the same way you have been. The whole killing of jfk is like a puzzle. You have to put all the pieces together to see the wholepictur

Jim Garrison was one of the very worst people ever produced by the State of Louisiana. his "trial" was an absolute disgrace on every level

[@Ben-qm1mv]

There were so many possibilities for him to filter through , separating fact from fiction.. A difficult if not almost impossible task ! Given the funds to pursue longer ,, he would have all the ducks lined up in a row

[@LoneNutter1]

@TheDeadhead76 Glad you liked it! He earned it.

[@haysfordays]

Could someone explain his answer to "Oswald not firing a shot / how he DID pertain to the plot" His answer here is a bit indirect. He says he as not part of the plot but Im not clear on what he was a part of.

[@GymMusic-xq4nu]

I don't think I've seen this before. For 1967, Garrison's account here appears to have stood the test of time.

[@jimmycricket5366]

He was an amazing Investigator.

[@optionsupdate]

whats a minuteman?

[@arcanondrum6543]

Assets that are available for support as needed. Woody Harrelson's dad is an example. "Minuteman" is a bastardized version of the word from the time when this young country didn't have expensive standing armies, it had citizens that reported for training but lived at home like the rest of us.

[@arcanondrum6543]

That music list of yours is eclectic, to say the least and by the way, don't ask questions in the comments. Not everyone is as honest as me.

[@christopherlangdon4846]

Read Vincent Bugliosi ‘s and Gerald Posner’s books on the assassination

[@mrp3263]

Then read better ones.

[@lorichet]

And you'll find those two books in the fiction section at your local bookstore and library.

January 2023 29th. THANK YOU for this post, I hope you have more of these !! I appreciate the filmfragments, etc. with JFK and his family. 👍 But to be honest, this is what I'm really into. This with all due respect. This man J. Garrison takes a considerable stand !! It's wishing after the fact, but "if only he or someone like mr. J. Garrison could have been the Vice-president of JFK..." NOT "one with a Johnson-mentality". Nevertheless : "Mr" Johnson Will Be Judged before The Throne of The Lord God Almighty, Most High !! And those with him !! God bless 💐 Sincere regards in Christ Jesus Our Lord through The Holy Spirit 💖, in His service ✝️🌹, A. DEE WAI 🕊️
