Mob hitman who says he was the man on the grassy knoll and killed JFK to be released - and he still insists he did it

A man who claims he assassinated President John F. Kennedy has been moved this week from a high security jail to a less secure one in Illinois in preparation for his release next spring after 36 years behind bars.

James Files, 72, says that he was the man on the grassy knoll back on November 22, 1963, and that he fired the bullet into Kennedy's head that ultimately killed him.

Now, the CIA and other US secret agencies are preparing for scores of conspiracy theories as Files identifies himself yet again as the missing piece of the Kennedy story.

He’s lucky he wasn’t shot by the other 42 conspirators standing in that same spot...

One FReeper posted a long time ago that Dan Rather reversed his report on the shooting, and like magic he became a national anchor man soon after.

Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman who shot Kennedy.

Several times cable has run an interesting show focusing on Files, including interviews. There was some interesting info. Whether true or not, who knows?

"I fired one shot and one shot only."

He also claims that Oswald never fired a shot. I wonder how he explains the bullet in Connelly?

Can someone kindly post a map showing exactly where this “man on the grassy knoll” supposedly was?

People in Dallas have said steadfastly that there were more than 1 shooter. CIA admits it hid files to avoid the truth
