A Conversation with Jim Leavelle and Eddie Barker 

I shook his hand in '92. Amazing he's still alive and looking so well for his age.

Leavelle is a big liar. he said in the Warren report that he never interviewed Oswald, and only saw him being interviewed 11/24/63 but here he says he "talked" to Oswald 11/22/63 for "15 min" just as he was being brought in! @ about 14:50 in this vid and Lee supposedly had a revolver. during his WR testimony he said I don't remember, etc 30 times! per WR 1964: "Mr. BALLL. Did he say whether or not he had a revolver in his possession at the time of his arrest? Mr. LEAVELLE. I do not recall what the questions was along that line or even what the answers was. Like I say. I am sure that they did. It seems as though my memory tells me that he did not deny taking the revolver but there, again. I would not want to say definitely. Mr. BALL. Did you make any notes of the conversation? Mr. LEAVELLE. So I did not myself. That was the only time I ever sat in on the interrogations of him by Captain Fritz or anyone." he's lying because in 2007 he slips up and says he interrogated Oswald for 15 min just after he was brought in 11/22/63!

Leavelle was a good 'ol boy from red river county in texas. And so was Officer Tippit. There were multiple people from Lamar county(Paris, Texas), and red river county, neighboring counties in texas. One of the Dr.'s in the trauma ward that worked on Kennedy was feom Paris. Eddie barker from this interview was from Paris. He was the first to announced the shooting to the public at the trade mart where kennedy was heading next. And the man that Oswald rode to work with in the mornings was from lamar county. The mornin of the assassination he had a long box with him when he was picked up that mornin. Oswald said it was curtain rods.

@Marc Bell You mean the guy who enabled the poisoning of 300 people in Guiana? That Mark Lane?

He got it right. RIP Jim🌹

@@justthink5854 He didn't say he interrogated him. So the object of your Post is to call Mr. Leavelle a Liar? Pathetic. Shove it up you ass.

If I remember correctly Robert Oswald stated that he believed Oswald did it alone.

@@justthink5854 I cant believe anyone that has seen Oswald being killed does not suspect this guy , he practicly held Oswald so that Jacob Rubinstein could hit him

@@dancingisraeli2376 yup. he also lied about not interviewing Oswald. he did when he was brought in.

Me too!

How do you explain Oswald getting to snack Room so fast without being seen? I’m opposite used to assume it was Oswald till I did research. Too many things hidden overlooked like so many witnesses dying within 3 years. Plus testimony withheld that did not fit with the Warren Commission report like a woman who said she saw Oswald on the 1st floor at 1227 3 minutes before the assassination!

@@PC-lu3zf The failure to explain everything does not negate everything that's been explained. Oswald ALONE.

Dozens of eye witnesses heard shots from grassy knoll area , the Warren commission ignored their evidence

@@jdunn101ify The majority heard shots only from one direction: from the TSBD, and the preponderance of other evidence corroborates that. You are the one who's ignoring things.

Beliefs are not evidence.

@@aaronz7056 : What's the WCR but a bunch of beliefs, ignoring evidence. So your point is, what?

@@rogerscottcathey My point is that's not true and after 60 years all credible evidence still points right at Oswald despite the assertions of guys like you who never seem to attempt offering any convincing alternate scenario as you just jump through hoops letting Oswald off the hook at every turn. What evidence did they "ignore?"

@@aaronz7056no evidence points to Oswald

@@paulanddianathomas3376 In that case we look forward to you explaining how the people framing Oswald for these murders could POSSIBLY have known: - where his rifle was - he would show up unexpectedly at the Paine house Nov. 21, otherwise they can't pretend he smuggled the rifle Nov. 22 - he wouldn't simply stand out on the sidewalk during the parade - nobody would ever find any bullets or fragments that don't match to his rifle - they can safely get his latent palm print onto the rifle to be found - they can safely get his prints onto the exact spots of the sniper nest they would be had he been firing from it - the assassination won't simply go down in a way that makes it impossible to pretend only one shooter did it - no unidentified persons will ever be caught inside the building - it will even be POSSIBLE for future investigators to plausibly, consistently and clearly demonstrate using mathematically precise computer recreations of the shooting the victims' wounds all line up on a perfect trajectory and track straight back to the sixth floor window - witnesses under that window can be counted on to lie that all the shots came from directly over their heads - Oswald will immediately flee the crime scene - Oswald will definitely go specifically to Oak Cliff - Oswald will take evasive action to get there - Oswald owned a revolver - where the revolver was - he would obtain the revolver - he would retain the revolver - he would ignore his cab driver and landlady when they try speaking to him - he would decide at the last minute to put on a jacket - he would throw his jacket away in the streets before his arrest - there is any logic in attacking a cop on a public street just to frame Oswald for it since Oswald is already being sought anyway and if anything goes wrong here they will just end up confirming a conspiracy exists after all - an imposter who looks so much like him he is guaranteed to fool the nearly dozen witnesses who ID Oswald needs to be hanging around 10th and Patton - the imposter can be certain Oswald is still walking around free - the imposter can be certain Oswald has come to the neighbourhood - a cop will be driving at 10th and Patton at exactly the right moment to plausibly place Oswald at the crime scene - the cop won't simply outdraw the imposter, capture him and blow the whole plot - no other cop will capture the fleeing imposter - nobody will ever see the imposter again - nobody will see Oswald anywhere else during the shooting - Oswald will not be able to prove he was elsewhere during the shooting - Oswald will be seen trying to hide from passing police - Oswald will be seen trying to dodge more police by ducking into the theater - Oswald will be caught red-handed trying to shoot a second cop - Oswald will fight like such a violent maniac 3 officers will be injured just disarming him - Oswald will observe, "Well, they say it only takes a minute to die" after asking police about the penalty for cop-killing - Oswald will lie to police, starting with about his whereabouts during the assassination - Oswald will refuse to cooperate with any investigator - Oswald will send the President of the Dallas Bar Association packing when he arrives to offer him help - Oswald will act so smug and placid he'll even convince his own brother he is guilty - Oswald will just shrug a hollow, unsurprised, rambling reply when asked on live TV, "Did you shoot the President?" - Oswald will make no attempt to blow any conspiracy to anybody - the Dallas PD will be on board for the successful escape from justice of the "real murderers" of a brother officer with a wife and 3 children - they can safely count on scores and scores of witnesses, police, FBI, Secret Service, military personnel, ballistics experts, doctors, photographers, x-ray technicians, staffs at embassies in another country, Oswald family members and acquaintances, journalists, whole commissions, etc. to obey illegal orders to commit crimes and bend over backwards making themselves all eternally loyal accessories to murder and treason... Thanks in advance for clearing all this up.

Ruby was originally from Chicago and knew some guys in the Chicago Outfit but first of all Ruby was Jewish so he could not ever be a made member if the Mafia. There are plenty of guys that work along with the mob but it doesn't necessarily mean that he was totally trusted and that is how they felt about Ruby. He was a total hot head and was always where the action was so its not so unusual that he was around for those couple of days.

The mob paid Ruby $50,000 to whack Oswald. That money was found after Ruby killed Oswald in his safe.

@@Dr.Pepper001 Where is that documented?

Well I think most of America don't understand the bible

Go pet ur service skunk.

wtf

They made no mistakes. They did everything right. Oswalds dead. Kennedy's dead. Never a trial. LBJ was the new President. It all went perfect.

Isn't sovereign immunity wonderful? it's a holdover from America's days as part of Britain, it's there to protect the monarchy and now lazy, incompetent corrupt and politically motivated bureaucrats of various kinds, hide behind it to avoid any accountability for they're negligent & reckless conduct.

You should stop believing what you saw in that JFK movie by Oliver Stone ;-) Since you seem to hate liers, here a small list of a hundred lies from that junk movie www.jfk-online.com/jfk100menu.html

@@kurtgreenwood5441 Bulletins From Dallas, places Ruby correcting the DA during a press conference. Ruby was all over HQ on 23 & 24 of Nov. Why don't you quit trolling?

@@thelugoffgamecock792 Ruby was "all over" is meaningless. The case for conspiracy was all over from the very start.

tippit was supposed to finish off oswald, but lee saw it coming and did what he had to. ruby's action was a last resort

@@DanJanTube Tippit was shot with an automatic. Lee had a revolver.

Swell: there is a mountain of credible evidence pointing right at Oswald and none pointing towards anybody else.

@@aaronz7056 no there isn't

@@nickfraser4599 Well, that changes everything. lol

Maybe he held the paintbrush...

@Bruce Ross: Conspiracy theorists never have real evidence; instead they have anomalies. Anything that seems a bit odd, out of place, coincidental, or all-too-convenient is cast in a sinister light and made to seem as if it is evidence for a conspiracy. It’s defective thinking as described in the volume: “Abnormal Psychology: The Study & Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders.”

I believe that too! It was so scripted and staged like a low budget movie!

@@stddisclaimer8020 what about the real evidence from dozens of eye witnesses that heard shots from grassy knoll area?

@James D: 88% of the 179 witnesses who expressed an opinion said there were 3 shots and 3 shots only. The largest group that identified a location, 28% said they came from the book depository. Only 4 witnesses, 2% of all the witnesses at Dealey, heard shots coming from more than one location.

@@stddisclaimer8020 only 28% thought the shots were from the depository , that says it all

Really. You'll change your tune when you grow up.

@@insertnamehere313 I have seen interviews with the girls from his club and they were asked about that and said no he was straight and he had a girlfriend like a steady girlfriend and was kind of old-fashioned about it. But like I said in my comment I would think if they found something that would have been leaked or publicized and I’ve certainly never heard anything like that. Like they found gay magazines or something like that

@@janetphillips2875 At that time, a lot of gay men would be seen with or even marry women, yet still live a very secret gay life. Again I’m just wondering if they found anything incriminating when they searched his house, I need searched his apartment as they would discover anything he may have had hidden and been very secretive about. I don’t think they found anything because I think he would’ve heard that sensationalized in the news

His sister said he had girlfriends. Why is it everybody wants to push the G word?

@@janetphillips2875 In my case I don’t think I’m pushing any kind of agenda, in the 1960s it was rather strange for a guy of his age to be single. Also he had some unique habits like always traveling with his two little dogs. But I’m sure they searched his apartment thoroughly, and had he had any compromising or homosexual material I’m sure they would’ve discovered it and I’ve never heard Anything like that so I guess they didn’t find anything like that. Again not trying to push an agenda either way, just curious.

He says in every interview, it wasn’t white! It was tan. It just looks white in the old B&W photos.

@@mikehiggins946 Really admire crackpots who just happily accuse people with zero evidence of being conspirators, just giving the middle finger to the man's family so long as it suits their "theories."

He had on the same color of suit on the day of the assassination.

Oneandonly Judging by you worthless Post, there is proof that you're just another conspiracy kook that only proves that you're a dumb ass. The Dallas Police knew they had their man, the DA was confident they would have gotten a conviction. Find a different Hobby, you suck at this one.

@@johnadams5489 For a worthless post, you certainly found worth in it, to respond.

@@liecrusher3506 I read ALL the Posts in that thread. Don't flatter yourself.

@@johnadams5489 I'm neither flattered nor flustered, just amused.

@@liecrusher3506 You're too easy.

Just begs the question as to why someone like Jack Ruby who was not a reporter gained entry into a tight security precinct. Jack knew most policemen in Dallas through his night club that he ran. It's obvious who let him in.

@@jayramdas2377 if you study the case it was luck and happenstance he slipped down the ramp when Vaughn turned his back and stepped into the street to let Detective Pierce out that happened 52 seconds before Ruby shot Oswald so Ruby got down in that basement 30 seconds before he killed Oswald nobody seen Ruby enter the basement because at that time Oswald had just stepped off the elevator and their eyes were focused on him Ruby told Detective Leavelle when he asked him hiw did you get down that ramp he said.i slioped down the ramp when the guard turned his back Leavelle knew he was telling the truth because Ruby was able to id Pierce as the driver who he knew thats the only way it could have happened so thats absolutey blows the theory out of the water that Ruby was sent by the mob to silence Oswald

Right. Ruby spontaneously decides to go shoot Oswald, 1 hour and 20 mins after the scheduled transfer nut managed to get there just in time to have the suspect brought out. All reports that day described the DPD headquarters as an armed camp but yet Ruby was able to just wonder down the ramp. The officer guarding the ramp took multiple lie-detector tests stating he did not see Ruby and he passed every one.

@@Autshot20 Vaughn did not see Ruby he had stepped away to Let Detective Pierce out.Just happenstance no doubt.Ruby had his beloved Sheba in the car and said if he didnt make an illegal turn he would have missed Oswald.

@@Autshot20 He didnt go there to shoot Oswald he went to send a WU.

right, he would have never been a suspect? Just because his rifle, which he denied owning, was up there wouldn't have been the least bit suspicious. you guys are delusionally stupid.

Something else that connects him to the event: a mountain of evidence.

bbrown222 You know it was revealed by Gerald Ford in his book that Oswald was a paid 3 letter agency informer right? $200 bucks a month. WR hushed it up.

marco calarco JFK Assassination Conspiracy Myth #873

bbrown222 In other words you have no real response. It's in Gerald Fords book. Release of sealed LHO tax records from this period would confirm it. I wonder if they'll ever be released. No wonder feds were interviewing LHO on regular basis (and denying it) including 2 weeks before dealy. Reminds one of this recent Boston affair. So many similarities.

@@bbrown222 since your so informed, name each POC Oswald spoke to in Mexico City......do you recommend me waiting on your response?

@@marcocalarco7575 Ford, in his book or elsewhere never showed any Oswald-CIA connection, because they was none. That's just the conspiracy kook's wet dream. keep dreaming....

It's always suspicious when someone dies in their 80s fifty years after an event such as the assassination.

@@rawbacon agreed. Eddie barker was silenced.

@@mikehiggins946 they killed both Eddie and Jimmy lavelle when they was very vulnerable murderers

@@MalEvansUSA You have nothing...so just go home.

​@@mikehiggins946depends on when he started talking, and what he said.

I believe that too,Ive read,listened to or watched dozens of accounts and think LHO,just did it.

Correct just study it in depth and you'll realize it's true.

Why would he do that? What would be his motivation? To get ridiculed by people like yourself? To have his life threatened? Yes, he and anyone else who offered a statement that was in conflict with the official version were independently conspiring to undermine the govt's version.

@@Autshot20 Some people, like Craig, will do and endure whatever backlash for their 15 minutes of fame. Craig's various and conflicting tall tales richly deserve ridicule.

Epstein committed suicide, also.

@@timhawks6101 So you don't buy the murder theory?

@@Autshot20 Craig even kept contradicting himself as he couldn't keep his own on-the-record stories straight.

Craig was a disfunctionnal loon in search of attention plain and simple .... A pathetic lier (which are poeple you don't like right? Except if the say lies that goes along with your beliefs

@@kurtgreenwood5441 And yes to get attention and to be ridiculed and have his life threatened, just to get attention? He reads the word Mauser on the rifle and that just happens to be the type of weapon that the original reports stated was found.

He was a demonstrable liar and his rubbish claims were consistently contradicted by every other witness present, by hard evidence, and, frequently, by himself as he couldn't even keep his own on-the-record stories straight.

@@Autshot20 You know full well no Mauser was found and Craig, typically, contradicted his own B.S. story as he assured the L.A. Free Press in 1968 he couldn't ID the gun because he "didn't know foreign rifles."

Well at least you are being open minded about all of the unanswered questions and all the reasonable doubt that exists with much of the evidence. And again, ALL of the individuals who made statements or had observations that differ from the official, preconceived conclusion are ALL lying, mistaken, not credible and/or are trying to be noticed?

@@Autshot20 Mostly I notice the avalanche of demonstrable lies told by conspiracy authors.

A murder was committed. They act like it was a birthday party.

Blaming the "entire south" for the murder of jfk is ludicrous.

I don't speak or understand 2nd place

+Follow The Sun Soon it'll be just a handful of holdouts who still believe the Warren Commision's side of the assassination of Kennedy.- That statement is absurd. The "holdouts" as you call them are the conspiracy theorists and their bizarre tales.

Victor Fariello I disagree. The Conspiracy facts speak for themselves. There's more to the JFK assassination than meets the eye of the public. Even former Pres Ford said there may have been more than one lone gunman. And he was part of the Commission. There's enough info available to renew the request for a new commision. I'd hate to wait too long though. I was hoping to see some of the people involved charged with crimes. Like CIA operative & ex Prez Geo. Bush Sr who was part of the cleanup crew. Too bad USA National Interest (World Embarrassment) gets in the way.

Jim Revealle?
