J. Edgar Hoover: Zapruder frames 314/315 were "inadvertently" switched...

[TruthIsAll]

I strongly suggest that "On the Trail of the Assassins", by Jim Garrison, be required reading for anyone interested in the JFK murder. It is a beautifully written, clear and factual account of the Garrison investigation, which uncovered much of what we now know and was the basis for the film "JFK"

In 1969, to help the jury understand expert testimony regarding JFK's head wounds at the Clay Shaw trial, prosecutor Jim Garrison subpoenaed Zapruder's film from Life magazine. This was the first time in more than five years that the film was presented for public view - but only for the trial. The National Archives had a copy. Prior to this, there had been no public viewing of the film. We had to wait until 1975, when Giraldo Rivera presented it on national television.


The FBI had given a copy to the Warren Commission, but two critical frames had been reversed to create the false impression that a rifle shot to Kennedy's head had been fired from behind. Frame 313 showed the instant of the shot striking Kennedy's head. As photographed, frames 314 and 315 showed JFK falling backwards, plainly indicating that the rifle shot had come from the front. Following the FBI's transposition of the two frames, it was made to appear that the Presiden's head fell forward, indicating a shot from the rear.

After a routine examination of the subsequent frames, even the Warren Commission was forced to recognize the transposition of frames 314 and 315. They asked the FBI about it. J. Edgar Hoover explained that an "inadvertent" printing error had occurred.

Just another coincidence. Right.
