“there was a little noticed article about a local Mafia don, Carlos Marcello, who was scheduled to go on trial for deportation the next day, the 22nd. I’m sure it is just a coincidence.”
Please explain how shooting the president would help Marcello’s chances. Was JFK lead prosecutor?
Like I said, it was probably just a coincidence. If there was a connection, it could have been a warning or revenge. Robert Kennedy was his Atty Gen., and would have been in charge of the Justice Dept. that was in charge of the investigation or whatever you call it. Getting rid of the top brother was getting rid of the other brother as well. I don’t think RFK stayed on too long under Johnson. The trial was most probably cancelled for the day once the assassination occurred. And Robert Kennedy also was gunned down several years later. Who knows what was really going on behind the scenes?
