Mafia Hit Man Confesses to Killing President Kennedy

[thelakelander]

The documentary chronicles how Files, along with Nicoletti and mobster Johnny Roselli, came to be in Dallas on the day Kennedy was assassinated.

In his "I Killed JFK" interviews from prison, Files tells why he chose to position himself on the grassy knoll to await JFK's motorcade while another shooter took a different position.

"I've got the railroad yard in back of me," he said. "We got a parking lot there and I got a place where I could stash whatever I would need, and I could pass myself off as a worker in the railroad yard for the time being until the time comes and nobody would really pay any attention to me."

Shortly before the assassination, Files said, "I went back to the plaza, got my briefcase out with the gun in it. I went into the railroad yard, put it away where nobody could see it."

As the Kennedy motorcade entered the plaza and made a turn, the president's car cruised past a street sign in front of Files.

"That's when I started focusing through the scope. As far as I can see at this point the president has not been hit in the head. I've seen the body lurch. I know he's been hit. How serious I don't know.

"But my last instructions were we're going for head shots. If you have to take a shot take it, but don't fire unless you really have to.

"I was aiming at his right eye. When I pulled the trigger it was almost like looking from six feet away through the scope.

"As I squeezed his head moved forward. I missed and got it right along the temple, right behind the eye. I squeezed off my round. I hit him and blew his head backward. I fired one shot and one shot only.

"I never saw Mr. Nicoletti shoot Kennedy but I know he was the man in the building who was supposed to be doing the shooting.

"As I was leaving Dealey Plaza nobody tried to stop me. There were two police officers within 20, 25 feet of me. I didn't run. I just carried a natural gait and proceeded to exit, just like a businessman walking away from lunch."

This is James Files. There's nothing new here, he's been saying this (or constantly changing versions of it) for 20 years at least. Even most conspiracy theorists think he's full of it.

Yeah, he's full of it. The most likely scenario is that Oswald killed JFK, with the possibility of a second shooter to help finish it in case he messed up. Jack Ruby killed Oswald before he got a chance to blab about a conspiracy. Why or how is anyone's guess.
