IIRC Marcello would have had to have the go ahead from Giancana in Chicago to do anything like that.
My mother saved the newspapers from the Kennedy assassination, including the one from the day before. On the front page of the New Orleans newspaper evening edition on Nov. 21, there was a story about how Carlos Marcello was going on trial for something the next day, I think to be deported, the day Kennedy was assassinated. I don’t know if there is any connection or not, but it does seem to be very coincidental.
“Not saying who killed JFK, buy Marcello had a motive.”
There’s a reason motive is not an element of crime in our criminal justice system. For any one victim, there could be a hundred people who had a reason to kill him. In JFKs case, many groups hated him, but most of the ones people love to conjecture about had much, much more reason not to act out on those feelings.
Take Castro (please). JFKs dead. Does that mean things are better? No. And what if we find out? What would stop us from invading in revenge? Russia? Screw them, we’ve got nukes. Are they going to risk war, with crap ICBMs and no intermediate rangers, over Cuba, after what they did?
The mafia. Whatever “deal” they may have had (for which there is no evidence), Who’s to say Bobby’s even gone? Who’s to say the government treats them better without Bobby? Things weren’t exactly on the rise after the early 60s, were they? What kind of insane risk is it to possibly draw the most negative attention they could possibly draw? They’re businessmen, of a sort. They aren’t Hatfields and McCoys. That’s why they don’t kill authorities over here (Sicily’s another matter). Never have, as a rule.
Russia? Is LBJ better? And what if we find out? Again, we’ve got the BOMB.
The CIA? Kennedy may have been pissed. The notion that he would have disbanded them stretches credulity. What would have happened had anyone found out what they did, on the other hand, almost guarantees they’d either be disbanded or on the outside watching other people do their job.
