I-Accuse - a
Gil W. Toff current project on JFK assassination
Why I-Accuse?
On the afternoon of November 24,
1963, two days after the assassination of JFK, CBS newsman Dan Rather viewed a
copy of the original Abraham Zapruder film in Dallas.His report noted Connally, as he
turned to look back at the President, “... exposed his entire shirt front and
chest because his coat was unbuttoned ... at that moment a shot very clearly
hit that part of the Governor.”On
currently available film copies, only Connally’s head appears in this
sequence.
The original
Zapruder film, however, seems to be unavailable.
Look for these two
descriptions which are NOT seen on the
currently available Zapruder film;
Dan Rather:
The car as it makes it's left turn from Houston
Street onto Elm Street is NOT seen on Zapruder's film even though
it is described in Rather's report.
Governor Connolly “turned in such a way to expose
his entire shirt front and chest.At that moment, a shot very clearly hit the front of the Governor”.We DO NOT see this, we only see from
Connolly's shoulders up.
Zapruder:
Talks
about filming the car turning left from Houston Street onto Elm Street,
but we DO NOT see that on the film.
