Description

Episode 160 is  the tenth  in a new series of episodes  that chronicle the story of the Garrison investigation in  New Orleans and the related trial of Clay Shaw.  Episode ten is the first in a mini-series that addresses the star witness of the Clay Shaw trial. Perry Russo. In this first episode covering Russo, we pick up the action on February 22nd, the date of David Ferrie's death, when by all accounts the investigation should probably have been closed down. But Garrison pushed on and he was given a gift almost immediately as this young twenty five year old insurance salesman living in Baton Rouge saw the news of Ferrie's death and would step forward immediately and begin to tell the story of a David Ferrie obsessed with the idea of killing the President.  Russo went public on his own before he was discovered by anyone including  Garrison...But Garrison  soon took control and the ensuing story related to Russo's ongoing interactions with the New Orleans D.A.'s office would prove to be more than controversial as Garrison's staff  engaged in a progressive series of actions that included the use of sodium pentothal truth serum and a series of hypnosis sessions  all of which ensured a  lifetime of criticism mounted at Garrison. That he and his office  had engaged in steps to suggest the proper answers  to Russo and that  those actions enhanced the original testimony of Perry Russo, so much so, from something initially that may or may not have been initially relevant, to finally being significant and comprehensive enough... all by itself..to justify arresting Shaw and charging him with conspiracy to murder the President of the United States. Join us in the first and subsequent episode about one of the most fascinating witnesses....in fact the star witness...of the Clay Shaw trial.   Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.
