Clay Shaw Trial Transcripts

These transcripts from the trial of New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw, charged with conspiring to murder President Kennedy, are an important part of the record of the controversial Garrison investigation.

The transcripts are fascinating whether or not one believes Garrison's "star witness" Perry Russo, who testified to being present at a meeting with Shaw, David Ferrie, and "Leon" Oswald, where the murder of JFK was discussed. Other witnesses include several people from Clinton, La. who testified to seeing Oswald and Shaw together. The trial also featured the appearance of one of Kennedy's autopsy doctors, Pierre Finck, who admitted under heavy questioning that an Army General appeared to be running the autopsy.
