The Texas police officer handcuffed to Lee Harvey Oswald when he was fatally shot at Dallas police headquarters two days after the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, died Thursday at age 99, according to family.

Former Dallas police Detective Jim Leavelle was transporting Oswald to the Dallas County Jail when the assassin was suddenly shot on live television by nightclub owner and police informant Jack Ruby at point-blank range on Nov. 24, 1963.

Karla Leavelle, daughter of the retired detective, confirmed her father's death to FOX 4 Dallas.

"..when the assassin.."

Knowing what we know NOW and how all agencies involved in FRAMING a sitting president for the purpose of REMOVING him from office continue to SHIELD THEIR OWN FROM THE LAW, I'm going to correct the above:

"..when the ALLEGED assassin.."

I would have agreed with you for many years, until last year when I read Bugliosi’s book on the assassination. Long and short of it: Oswald did it.

I worked in the police headquarters building for a while and walked into that basement to get a squad car while they were shooting Ruby (the movie, not Jack). The actors were on a smoke break in costume. There were no internet memes back then, or I might have asked where the keyboard was.

So was Charles Harrelson on the grassy knoll

While I know a marksman like Oswald could sure make those shots ....no question

Those pics don’t look like real hobos by any stretch and one looks like Harrelson a lot

One thing's got nothing to do with the other. The evidence is clear. He did it.

No.

"Those pics don’t look like real hobos by any stretch and one looks like Harrelson a lot"

We know who they are. None of them are him.

I always wonder about the shooting of Oswald, because in the film one can see how the police seem to steer him toward the gunman. Also, there should have been an officer walking before him, as well as on either side. That’s the usual protocol.

I didn’t know about Bugliosi’s book; I will have to check it out. I found Gerald Posner’s Case Closed very convincing in documenting Oswald’s guilt.

"Jim Leavelle ... dies at 99." ..........

"Oswald ..... The evidence is clear. He did it."

No way! How can you be so blind to all the evidence of a conspiracy being swept under the rug? More and more of the principal players are dying every year .... first Oswald, then Ruby. LBJ is gone, as is Connolly, and both their wives as well. So is Earl Warren, Zapruder, Jackie O, Teddy K, and hundreds more who have just mysteriously died.

And now the latest is this young healthy Dallas cop, who's age is not even 3 digits yet.

How can ALL of these people have just coincidentally died? No chance! Someone's bumping them all off, one at a time, to cover up the conspiracy.

Mark my words. One of these days Clint Eastwood, who was the Secret Service guy at the back of JFK's limo, will be gone too. You heard it here first!

While I know a marksman like Oswald could sure make those shots ....no question

In one of the MANY shooting documentaries for TV, an Australian "expert" fired the JFK back shot that then exited JFK's neck and hit Connally in his back.....

The knuckleheads in the show got the bullet to tumble, exited Connally's chest, hit his wrist and then into his thigh! (The bullet was actually found on the ground but they said close enough, it just didn't have enough kinetic energy left to pierce his thigh).

SUCCESS! The show's participants said they did it and America believed it, at least some did. BUT there is a BIG PROBLEM that is obvious to even the most casual observer.

The bullet that hit JFK from behind never went anywhere near his throat, in fact it exited his chest and then hit Connally's torso.

:Like Bugliosi and Possner, the show's producers had one goal and that was to show that the single bullet theory was not only possible, that is what happened. Instead, this screenshot from that show clearly shows the SBT as proposed by the Warren Commission's junior counsel Arlen Specter did not and could NOT have happend as the WC said it did.

The bullet hole in the back of JFK's shirt matches the location of the bullet hole in the back of his jacket. The liars and fools have tried to argue his jacket and shirt were bunched up on his back to raise the entry point in JFK's back. But that premise is so silly only the biggest fools would buy that magical explanation.

So if it's clear that the Single Bullet Theory is NOT possible, then what did happen?

The answer to that question can now be understood by most FREEPERS. The most important part of the JFK assassination is understanding the methods that were used to lie to the public. IF you have been paying attention to the news since 2016 and the framing of President Trump by the FBI, then you KNOW for a fact that the FBI will tell any lie, forge any evidence, kill any witness to hide the truth. For "they" are sure that the public can never know the truth about JFK's brutal murder.

In other words, the big lies did NOT start in 2016, they were telling huge lies in 1963. It's so easy to fool nitwit lawyers like Bugliosi and fools like Possner. people like them and they along with the presstitutes will work 24/7/365 to convince the public the impossible happened!

Fortunately, you can now know the truth. No guessing, no hand waving, definitive proof is available to show what actually happened.
